Influxdb [admin] section doesn't exist in influxdb.conf file


I am trying to install influxdb in my Windows server 2016 for monitoring SQL server.

I followed this post when i was having issues getting the thing done.

In the above post it says to uncomment the [admin] part,but when i unzip the latest influxdb download from

https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/releases/influxdb-1.6.0_windows_amd64.zip it doesn't have that [admin] part in the influxdb.config file.

i searched for [admin] in the config file also searched for 8083 port in the config file.But i couldn't.

Has anything changed recently in influxdb for windows?


Solution

  • This is because, web admin interface is no longer available from version 1.3. It has been replaced by Chronograf. You can read it here.

    As of version 1.3, the web admin interface is no longer available in InfluxDB. The interface does not run on port 8083 and InfluxDB ignores the [admin] section in the configuration file if that section is present. Chronograf replaces the web admin interface with improved tooling for querying data, writing data, and database management. See Chronograf’s transition guide for more information.
