InfluxDB

InfluxDB is a time series database optimized for storing high throughput metrics.

ingestr supports InfluxDB as a source.

URI format

plaintext
influxdb://<host>:<port>?token=<token>&org=<org>&bucket=<bucket>&secure=<secure>

URI parameters:

  • host: The host address of the database server.
  • port: The port number the database server is listening on. If you do not specify a port, the default is 8086 for self-hosted InfluxDB and 443 for InfluxDB Cloud.
  • token: Authentication token.
  • org: Name of the organization.
  • bucket: Bucket that stores the measurements.
  • secure: Optional. Use HTTPS when true (default) or HTTP when false.

The <measurement> name should be provided as the value for --source-table.

Example

Copy cpu metrics from InfluxDB into DuckDB:

sh
ingestr ingest \
    --source-uri 'influxdb://eu-central-1-0.aws.cloud3.influxdata.com?token=my-token&org=my-org&bucket=metrics&secure=false' \
    --source-table 'cpu' \
    --dest-uri duckdb:///metrics.duckdb \
    --dest-table 'dest.cpu'

Tables

The InfluxDB source accepts any measurement name. Specify the measurement as the --source-table option when running ingestr.

NOTE

Primary Key Required for Merge: When using --incremental-strategy merge, you must also specify --primary-key Otherwise, the strategy defaults to append.
