InfluxDB is an open-source distributed time series database, find more about InfluxDB at https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/latest
This module is tested with InfluxDB versions: v1.2.4, v1.3.9, v1.4.3, v1.5.4, v1.6.4, and 1.7.4.
Those users still on InfluxDB v0.8.x users may still use the legacy client by importing from influxdb.influxdb08 import InfluxDBClient.
Install, upgrade and uninstall influxdb-python with these commands:
$ pip install influxdb $ pip install --upgrade influxdb $ pip uninstall influxdb
On Debian/Ubuntu, you can install it with this command:
$ sudo apt-get install python-influxdb
The influxdb-python distribution is supported and tested on Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, PyPy and PyPy3.
Note: Python <3.5 are currently untested. See .travis.yml.
Main dependency is:
- Requests: HTTP library for human beings (http://docs.python-requests.org/)
Additional dependencies are:
- pandas: for writing from and reading to DataFrames (http://pandas.pydata.org/)
- Sphinx: Tool to create and manage the documentation (http://sphinx-doc.org/)
- Nose: to auto-discover tests (http://nose.readthedocs.org/en/latest/)
- Mock: to mock tests (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mock)
Documentation is available at https://influxdb-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.
You will need Sphinx installed to generate the documentation.
The documentation can be generated by running:
$ tox -e docs
Generated documentation can be found in the docs/build/html/ directory.
Here's a basic example (for more see the examples directory):
$ python
>>> from influxdb import InfluxDBClient
>>> json_body = [
{
"measurement": "cpu_load_short",
"tags": {
"host": "server01",
"region": "us-west"
},
"time": "2009-11-10T23:00:00Z",
"fields": {
"value": 0.64
}
}
]
>>> client = InfluxDBClient('localhost', 8086, 'root', 'root', 'example')
>>> client.create_database('example')
>>> client.write_points(json_body)
>>> result = client.query('select value from cpu_load_short;')
>>> print("Result: {0}".format(result))
Make sure you have tox by running the following:
$ pip install tox
To test influxdb-python with multiple version of Python, you can use Tox:
$ tox
