Description : Scalable datastore for metrics, events, and real-time analytics
InfluxDB Circle CI
(https://circleci.com/gh/influxdb/influxdb/tree/master)An Open-Source,
Distributed, Time Series Database InfluxDB v0.9.0 is now out. Going
forward, the 0.9.x series of releases will not make breaking API
changes or breaking changes to the underlying data storage. However,
0.9.0 clustering should be considered an alpha release.
.
InfluxDB is an open source distributed time series database with
no external dependencies. It's useful for recording metrics,
events, and performing analytics. Features• Built-in HTTP API
(http://influxdb.com/docs/v0.9/concepts/reading_and_writing_data.html)
so you don't have to write any server side code to get up and
running.• Clustering is supported out of the box, so that you
can scale horizontally to handle your data.• Simple to install
and manage, and fast to get data in and out.• It aims to answer
queries in real-time. That means every data point is indexed as it
comes in and is immediately available in queries that should return
in < 100ms.Getting Started The following directions apply only to the
0.9.0 release or building from the source on master. Building You
don't need to build the project to use it - you can use any of our
pre-built packages (http://influxdb.com/download/index.html) to install
InfluxDB. That's the recommended way to get it running. However, if
you want to contribute to the core of InfluxDB, you'll need to build.
For those adventurous enough, you can follow along on our docs
(http://github.com/influxdb/influxdb/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
Starting InfluxDB• service influxdb start if you have installed InfluxDB
using an official Debian or RPM package.• $GOPATH/bin/influxd if you
have built InfluxDB from source.Creating your first database
.
curl -G 'http://localhost:8086/query' --data-urlencode "q=CREATE
DATABASE mydb"
.
Insert some data
.
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:8086/write?db=mydb' \ -d
'cpu,host=server01,region=uswest value=1.0 1434055562000000000'
.
Query for the data JSON curl -G http://localhost:8086/query?pretty=true
--data-urlencode "db=mydb" \ --data-urlencode "q=SELECT * FROM cpu
WHERE host='server01'"
.
