InfluxDB

Introduction​

The InfluxDB destination connector lets you connect to an InfluxDB instance using an API token.

At this time, the connector supports credential validation (testing the connection) but does not yet support loading data into InfluxDB.

Setup​

  1. Ensure you have access to an InfluxDB instance reachable over HTTPS.
  2. Create an API token in InfluxDB with permission to read buckets (used for connection validation). InfluxDB typically requires at least read access to query bucket metadata.

Authentication​

This destination authenticates using an InfluxDB API token sent as a Bearer token.

Configuration​

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
urlstring✅Base URL for your InfluxDB instance. Must be a valid HTTPS URL with a host. If you omit the scheme, https:// is assumed. Examples: https://us-west-2-1.aws.cloud2.influxdata.com, influxdb.example.com
api_tokenstring✅InfluxDB API token used to authenticate requests.

URL requirements​

  • The connector enforces HTTPS.
  • The URL must include a valid host.
  • Trailing slashes are allowed.

Data loading behavior​

Data loading is not yet implemented for this destination. Runs will fail with a message indicating that destination loading is still in development.

Streams​

This is a destination connector and does not expose source streams.
