InfluxDB Connector

The InfluxDB Connector allows you to connect your Heisenware application to an external, self-hosted InfluxDB instance.

For a conceptual overview of time-series databases and their use cases, please refer to the main Internal InfluxDB article.

Managing Your Connection

You must first create an instance of the connector to establish a connection with your external database.

create

This function initializes the connection.

Parameters You must provide an object containing the following properties:

• url: The URL of your InfluxDB instance.

• token: The authentication token for accessing the database.

• org: The organization name associated with your database.

delete

This function permanently removes a configured database connection instance. Simply provide the name of the instance you wish to delete.

Reading Data

Once a connection is established, the functions used to interact with your external database, read and query, are identical to those used by the built-in Internal InfluxDB.
