InfluxDB Shell(CLI)

The Influx shell is an interactive shell for InfluxDB and the recommended ad hoc method of using the HTTP API.

InfluxDB Web Admin

The built-in web administration GUI is a simple way to interact with InfluxDB. For any significant use, whether writing or querying data, the HTTP API is the preferred method.

Grafana Graphs and Dashboards

Grafana is a convenient dashboard tool for visualizing time series data. It was originally built for Graphite, modeled after Kibana, and since been updated to support InfluxDB.

Because of the changes to the SHOW SERIES and SHOW TAG VALUES formats, InfluxDB 0.11 will not work with the Query Editor in Grafana 2.6. This issue does not affect existing queries and dashboards.

Kapacitor Monitoring
