influxdb/cloud/tags: [get-started, install]
---
After you've [signed up for InfluxDB Cloud](/influxdb/cloud/sign-up/), you're ready to start writing, querying, and visualizing data.
After you've [signed up for InfluxDB Cloud](/influxdb/cloud/sign-up/), you're ready to get started:
To get started working in Cloud, we recommend using demo data and notebooks.
1. Do one of the following:
- Add [demo data](#add-demo-data).
- Add [sample data](#add-sample-data).
- [Use your own data](/influxdb/cloud/write-data/) to explore InfluxDB Cloud.
2. [Create a notebook](#create-a-notebook):
1. Clicking **Books > Create Notebook** in the navigation menu on the left.
{{< nav-icon "books" >}}
2. [Select metrics](#select-metrics)
3. [Visualize data](#visualize-data)
4. (Optional) [Process data](#process-data)
5. (Optional) [Monitor data](#monitor-data)
6. (Optional) [Output to a new bucket and export as a task](#output-to-a-new-bucket-and-export-as-a-task)
## Add demo data
This example uses InfluxDB Cloud's Website Monitoring demo data bucket. To add the demo data bucket:
1. In the navigation menu on the left, click **Data (Load Data)** > **Buckets**.
1. Click **Data (Load Data)** > **Buckets** in the navigation menu on the left.
{{< nav-icon "data" >}}
2. Click **{{< icon "plus" >}} Add Demo Data**, and then select the **Website Monitoring** bucket.
3. The Demo Data bucket appears in your list of buckets.
## Select metrics
## Add sample data
Now that we've added the demo data bucket, we're ready to create our notebook.
{{% note %}}
The examples below use the [NOAA NDBC sample data](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/sample-data/#noaa-ndbc-data), but we provide other [sample data sets](/influxdb/cloud/reference/sample-data/#sample-datasets) as well.
{{% /note %}}
Use [sample data](/influxdb/cloud/reference/sample-data/) to quickly populate InfluxDB with sample time series data. Sample data sets delivered with Cloud are used throughout this documentation site to provide context, best practices, and clear examples for how InfluxDB Cloud features and functions work.
1. Click **Data > Bucket** and click **Create Bucket** to create a bucket and name it **noaa**.
2. Do one of the following to download sample data:
- [Install community templates](#add-sample-data-with-community-templates)
- [Write sample data with an InfluxDB task](#write-sample-data-with-an-influxdb-task)
### Add sample data with community templates
1. Visit the **InfluxDB templates page** in the InfluxDB Cloud UI. Click **Settings** > **Templates** in the navigation menu on the left.
{{< nav-icon "settings" >}}
2. Paste the Sample Data community temple URL in **resource manifest file** field:
```
https://github.com/influxdata/community-templates/blob/master/sample-data/sample-data.yml
```
The sample data template installs a task that collects sample data and dashboards to visualize the sample data.
After installing the template, sample data is downloaded and stored in the sample data bucket at regular intervals.
### Write sample data with an InfluxDB task
Use the [Flux InfluxDB sample package](/{{< latest "flux" >}}/stdlib/influxdata/influxdb/sample/) to download and write sample data to InfluxDB.
Add the following as an [InfluxDB task](/influxdb/cloud/process-data/manage-tasks/create-task/).
```js
import "influxdata/influxdb/sample"
option task = {
name: "Collect NOAA NDBC data"
every: 15m,
}
sample.data(set: "noaa")
|> to(bucket: "noaa" )
```
For more information about this and other InfluxDB sample datasets, see [InfluxDB sample data](/influxdb/cloud/reference/sample-data/).
## Create a notebook
Now that we've added the sample data bucket, we're ready to create our notebook. Notebooks can build and annotate processes and data flows for your time series data, including writing to, querying from, and visualizing your data. For more information, see [Notebooks](/influxdb/cloud/notebooks/).
### Select metrics
1. In the navigation menu on the left, click **Notebooks**.
{{< nav-icon "notebooks" >}}
2. Click **+Create Notebook**.
3. Enter a name for your notebook in the **Name this notebook** field.
4. By default, a **Metric Selector** and **Visualization** cell appear (see [Cell types](#cell-types) below for details.)
5. In the **Metric Selector** cell, click the **Select a bucket** dropdown and choose **Website Monitoring Bucket**.
2. Click **+New Notebook**. By default, a **Metric Selector** and **Visualization** cell appear. For an overview of cell types, see [Overview of notebooks](/influxdb/cloud/notebooks/overview/#notebook-cell-types).
3. Enter a name for your notebook in the **Name this notebook** field.
5. In the **Metric Selector** cell, click the **Select a bucket** dropdown and chooose the bucket you want to explore data from. A list of measurements, fields, and tags from the bucket appear.
6. Select a column value to analyze.
7. Click **Preview** to preview the raw data in a table.
{{< img-hd src="/img/influxdb/cloud-gs-select-bucket.png" alt="Select bucket" />}}
### Visualize data
A list of measurements, fields, and tags for the Website Monitoring bucket appear.
Next, we'll make it easier to visualize the raw data by viewing it in a graph. For more information on how to visualize data, see [here](/influxdb/cloud/visualize-data/).
6. For this example, click the `response_time` field.
7. Click **Preview** to preview the raw response time data in a table.
By default, a visualization cell appears below your initial metric selector cell showing the mean values on a graph.
## Visualize data
Next, we'll make it easier to visualize the raw data by viewing it in a graph.
1. By default, a visualization cell appears below your initial metric selector cell showing the mean `response_time` values on a graph:
2. Use the function dropdown menu to view different functions to apply to your data. For this response time data, the mean function is a good fit.
3. Use the visualization type dropdown to view different visualization types available.
1. Use the function dropdown menu to view different functions to apply to your data. By default, the visualization is set to the mean function.
2. Use the visualization type dropdown to view different visualization types available.
For a complete list of options, see [Visualization types](/influxdb/cloud/visualize-data/visualization-types/).
4. Click the gear icon ({{< icon "gear" >}}) to edit specific settings for the visualization type, such as colors, orientation, and labels.
3. Click the gear icon ({{< icon "gear" >}}) to edit specific settings for the visualization type, such as colors, orientation, and labels.
## Process data
### Process data
A common processing task is downsampling data to view it at different levels of granularity and reduce overall data disk usage over time. The following steps use a Flux script to downsample the website monitoring sample data to every 12 hours.
A common processing task is downsampling data to view it at different levels of granularity and reduce overall data disk usage over time. The following steps use a Flux script to downsample your data to every 3 hours 30 seconds.
For more information on how to process data, see [here](/influxdb/cloud/process-data/).
1. Click **+** to add a cell, then select **Transform > Downsample**.
2. In the **Apply aggregate** field, select **mean**.
3. In the **Every Window Period** field, enter a value. For this example, we'll use `12h`.
3. In the **Every Window Period** field, enter a value. For this example, we'll use `3h30s`, but any duration is supported by InfluxDB Cloud. For more information, see [duration literals](/{{< latest "flux" >}}/spec/lexical-elements/#duration-literals).
4. Click **Preview** to view the downsampled data.
## Output to a new bucket and export as a task
### Monitor data
Get notifications every time your data crosses a threshold. Specify your alerts by time and decide how the information will be sent to you.
1. In your notebook, click **{{< icon "plus" >}}** to add a cell, then select **Output > Alert**.
2. Customize the conditions to send an alert.
3. Enter a time range to automatically check the data and enter your query offset.
4. Select an endpoint to receive an alert:
- Slack and a Slack Channel
- HTTP post
- Pager Duty
5. (Optional) Personalize your message. By default, the message is “${strings.title(v: r._type)} for ${r._source_measurement} triggered at ${time(v: r._source_timestamp)}!”
6. Click **Export as Alert Task** to save your alarm.
### Output to a new bucket and export as a task
After processing, send the downsampled data to a new bucket to store and view it. You can write it to the bucket a single time, or export it as a task, which is a scheduled Flux script, for it write to the bucket continuously.
1. Click **+** to add a cell, then select an **Output to Bucket** cell.
2. In the **Choose a bucket** dropdown, choose **+Create a Bucket**.
3. Enter a name for your bucket, such as Website monitoring downsampled, and click **Create**.
3. Enter a name for your bucket and click **Create**.
4. Click **Run** from the **Preview** dropdown list to run the notebook and write to the output bucket a single time.
5. To write continuously, click **Export as Task** in the upper right corner of the **Output to Bucket** cell. For details about working with tasks, see [Manage tasks](/influxdb/cloud/process-data/manage-tasks/).

## InfluxDB Cloud demo data
Use [InfluxDB Cloud demo data buckets](/influxdb/cloud/reference/sample-data/#influxdb-cloud-demo-data) for quick,
free access to different time series datasets.
{{< youtube GSaByPC1Bdc >}}
The sample data below contains both static and live datasets. A static sample dataset is not updated regularly and has fixed timestamps. A "live" sample dataset is updated regularly.
{{% note %}}
Demo data is not available for use with third-party integrations such as Grafana.
If writing a static sample dataset to a bucket with a limited retention period, use [sample.alignToNow()](/{{< latest "flux" >}}/stdlib/influxdata/influxdb/sample/aligntonow/) to shift timestamps to align the last point in the set to now. This will prevent writing points with timestamps beyond the bucket's retention period.

- [Next steps](#next-steps)
### What you'll need
To write data into InfluxDB, you need the following:
- **organization** – _See [View organizations](/influxdb/cloud/organizations/view-orgs/#view-your-organization-id)
for instructions on viewing your organization ID._
- **bucket** – _See [View buckets](/influxdb/cloud/organizations/buckets/view-buckets/) for
instructions on viewing your bucket ID._
- **API token** – _See [View tokens](/influxdb/cloud/security/tokens/view-tokens/)
for instructions on viewing your API token._
- **InfluxDB Cloud region URL** – _See [InfluxDB Cloud regions](/influxdb/cloud/reference/regions/)_.
Use _line protocol_ format to write data into InfluxDB.
Each line represents a data point.
Each point requires a [*measurement*](/influxdb/cloud/reference/syntax/line-protocol/#measurement)
and [*field set*](/influxdb/cloud/reference/syntax/line-protocol/#field-set) and may also include
a [*tag set*](/influxdb/cloud/reference/syntax/line-protocol/#tag-set) and a [*timestamp*](/influxdb/cloud/reference/syntax/line-protocol/#timestamp).
Line protocol data looks like this:
```sh
mem,host=host1 used_percent=23.43234543 1556892576842902000
cpu,host=host1 usage_user=3.8234,usage_system=4.23874 1556892726597397000
mem,host=host1 used_percent=21.83599203 1556892777007291000
```
#### Timestamp precision
When writing data to InfluxDB, we [recommend including a timestamp](/influxdb/cloud/reference/syntax/line-protocol/#timestamp) with each point.
If a data point does not include a timestamp when it is received by the database,
InfluxDB uses the current system time (UTC) of its host machine.
The default precision for timestamps is in nanoseconds.
If the precision of the timestamps is anything other than nanoseconds (`ns`),
you must **specify the precision in your write request**.
InfluxDB accepts the following precisions:
- `ns` - Nanoseconds
- `us` - Microseconds
- `ms` - Milliseconds
- `s` - Seconds
_For more details about line protocol, see the [Line protocol reference](/influxdb/cloud/reference/syntax/line-protocol)
and [Best practices for writing data](/influxdb/cloud/write-data/best-practices/)._

### What you'll need
To write data into InfluxDB, you need the following:
- **organization** – _See [View organizations](/influxdb/v2.0/organizations/view-orgs/#view-your-organization-id)
for instructions on viewing your organization ID._
- **bucket** – _See [View buckets](/influxdb/v2.0/organizations/buckets/view-buckets/) for
instructions on viewing your bucket ID._
- **API token** – _See [View tokens](/influxdb/v2.0/security/tokens/view-tokens/)
for instructions on viewing your API token._
- **InfluxDB URL** – _See [InfluxDB URLs](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/urls/)_.
The [InfluxDB setup process](/influxdb/v2.0/get-started/#set-up-influxdb) creates each of these.
Use _line protocol_ format to write data into InfluxDB.
Each line represents a data point.
Each point requires a [*measurement*](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/syntax/line-protocol/#measurement)
and [*field set*](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/syntax/line-protocol/#field-set) and may also include
a [*tag set*](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/syntax/line-protocol/#tag-set) and a [*timestamp*](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/syntax/line-protocol/#timestamp).

## Quickly start collecting data
Familiarize yourself with querying, visualizing, and processing data in InfluxDB Cloud and InfluxDB OSS by collecting data right away. The following options are available:
- [Quick Start for InfluxDB OSS](#quick-start-for-influxdb-oss)
- [Sample data](#sample-data)
## Quick Start for InfluxDB OSS
Select **Quick Start** in the last step of the InfluxDB user interface's (UI)
[setup process](/influxdb/v2.0/get-started/#set-up-influxdb) to quickly start collecting data with InfluxDB.
Quick Start creates a data scraper that collects metrics from the InfluxDB `/metrics` endpoint.
The scraped data provides a robust dataset of internal InfluxDB metrics that you can query, visualize, and process.
### Use Quick Start to collect InfluxDB metrics
After [setting up InfluxDB v2.0](/influxdb/v2.0/get-started/#set-up-influxdb),
the "Let's start collecting data!" page displays options for collecting data.
Click **Quick Start**.
InfluxDB creates and configures a new [scraper](/influxdb/v2.0/write-data/no-code/scrape-data/).
The target URL points to the `/metrics` HTTP endpoint of your local InfluxDB instance
(for example, `http://localhost:8086/metrics`), which outputs internal InfluxDB
metrics in the [Prometheus data format](https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats/).
The scraper stores the scraped metrics in the bucket created during the
[initial setup process](/influxdb/v2.0/get-started/#set-up-influxdb).
{{% note %}}
Quick Start is only available in the last step of the setup process.
If you missed the Quick Start option, you can [manually create a scraper](/influxdb/v2.0/write-data/no-code/scrape-data/)
that scrapes data from the `/metrics` endpoint.
