InfluxDB data source
InfluxDB is an open-source time series database (TSDB) developed by InfluxData. It is optimized for fast, high-availability storage and retrieval of time series data in fields such as operations monitoring, application metrics, IoT sensor data, and real-time analytics.
Grafana includes built-in support for InfluxDB. You do not have to install a plugin to add the InfluxDB data source.
Grafana offers multiple configuration options for the InfluxDB data source, including a choice of three query languages and a robust query editor that includes both a code editor and a visual query builder.
