InfluxDB Integration

Version	0.11.0 [beta] This functionality is in beta and is subject to change. The design and code is less mature than official GA features and is being provided as-is with no warranties. Beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features. (View all)
Compatible Kibana version(s)	8.13.0 or higher 9.0.0 or higher
Supported Serverless project types What’s this?	Security Observability
Subscription level What’s this?	Basic
Level of support What’s this?	Elastic

This integration is for ingesting task, storage, golang, performance related metrics from InfluxDB OSS 2.x databases. This integration provides out-of-the-box dashboards named Status Metrics, Advanced Status Metrics.

Requirements

edit

This integration depends on prometheus endpoint (default: http://<InfluxDBhost>:<port>/metrics) of InfluxDB for collecting status and advanced status metrics.

Compatibility

edit

This integration has been tested against InfluxDB OSS 2.4, InfluxDB OSS 2.0

Metrics

edit

Status Metrics

edit

Status metrics include details of memory usage, OS thread usage, query statistics, organization & users statistics, tasks & task workers, WAL size etc.
