InfluxDB Line Protocol
Authentication
GreptimeDB is compatible with InfluxDB's line protocol authentication format, both v1 and v2.
InfluxDB's V2 protocol uses a format much like HTTP's standard basic authentication scheme. We can write data easily through InfluxDB's line protcol.
❯ curl 'http://localhost:4000/v1/influxdb/api/v2/write?db=public' \
-H 'authorization: token greptime_user:greptime_pwd' \
-d 'monitor,host=host1 cpu=1.2 1664370459457010101'❯ curl 'http://localhost:4000/v1/influxdb/api/v2/write?db=public' \
-H 'authorization: token greptime_user:greptime_pwd' \
-d 'monitor,host=host1 cpu=1.2 1664370459457010101'Note: replace greptime_user(username), greptime_pwd(password) with your configured username and password.
GreptimeDB also supports InfluxDB's V1 authentication format. Add u for user and p for password to the HTTP query string as shown below:
❯ curl 'http://localhost:4000/v1/influxdb/write?db=public&u=greptime_user&p=greptime_pwd' \
-d 'monitor,host=host2 cpu=1.2 1678679359062504960'❯ curl 'http://localhost:4000/v1/influxdb/write?db=public&u=greptime_user&p=greptime_pwd' \
-d 'monitor,host=host2 cpu=1.2 1678679359062504960'Note: replace greptime_user(username), greptime_pwd(password) with your configured username and password.
PING
Additionally, GreptimeDB also provides support for the ping and health APIs of InfluxDB.
Use curl to request ping API.
curl -i "127.0.0.1:4000/v1/influxdb/ping"curl -i "127.0.0.1:4000/v1/influxdb/ping"HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
