- Closes /influxdata/DAR/issues/548
Removed references to using JWT for HTTP authentication with LDAP (e.g. `[http] shared-secret` and user JWT tokens). JWT does not use LDAP for authentication, so you wouldn't be using LDAP if you use JWT authentication.
Left in references to enabling JWT authentication for meta nodes. While not necessary for LDAP, meta node authentication via JWT is recommended for all installations.
- Move feature flag configuration from Advanced section into Step 3 of installation
- Update terminology from "Grafana OSS" to "running Grafana locally" to include both OSS and Enterprise
- Consolidate "Using Grafana Cloud with local InfluxDB" guidance into single note with direct link
- Remove redundant Advanced configuration section
Changes apply to all Grafana documentation pages:
- InfluxDB 3 products (Core, Enterprise, Cloud Serverless, Cloud Dedicated, Clustered)
- InfluxDB v2 and Cloud TSM
- InfluxDB v1 OSS and Enterprise
The feature flag requirement is now integrated directly into the installation workflow,
making it more discoverable for users setting up Grafana locally.

- Update TOC to reflect new heading hierarchy
- Ensure all fragment links work correctly
- Separate Windows installation into PowerShell and Manual tabs
- Add tabs for Windows vs macOS/Linux in Configure and Troubleshooting sections
- Remove top-level headings inside tabs (tab labels serve this purpose)
- Improve PowerShell code with driver path variable
- Fix whitespace issues in Auth Token field with non-breaking space
- Use active voice throughout instructions
- Add styled download buttons for Arrow Flight SQL ODBC driver and Power BI connector
- Use direct URLs to docs.influxdata.com/downloads/ for Windows installer
- Remove ODBC driver and connector from prerequisites (installation covered in steps)
- Add transition text explaining installation steps follow
- Maintain Move-Item for connector installation
- Keep Dremio documentation reference for additional driver information
- Add direct download URLs for Arrow Flight SQL ODBC driver and Power BI connector
- Remove references to non-existent downloads page
- Update PowerShell commands to download from docs.influxdata.com/downloads/
- Remove ODBC driver and connector from prerequisites (covered in installation steps)
- Keep Dremio documentation reference for additional driver information
- Maintain Move-Item for connector installation (cleaner than Copy-Item)
- Update link checker config to allow docs.influxdata.com/downloads URLs
- Add ODBC driver installation and configuration docs
- Add Power BI Desktop custom connector setup docs
- Configure host, port, and token conditionals for all InfluxDB 3 products
- Set frontmatter with proper metadata and related content
The shared content files (content/shared/influxdb3-query-guides/execute-queries/odbc.md
and content/shared/influxdb3-visualize/powerbi.md) contain product-specific conditionals
for server URLs, ports, and tokens. Each product version sources these shared files.
Next steps: Edit the content/shared files to update any remaining product-specific
instructions in the step-by-step procedures if needed. Server, port, and token
conditionals are already configured throughout the documentation.
Add note to all Grafana integration pages about using Grafana Cloud
with local InfluxDB instances. The note recommends running Grafana
locally to avoid exposing databases to the internet, and provides
information about configuring Grafana Cloud private data sources
as an alternative.
Updated files:
- content/shared/v3-process-data/visualize/grafana.md
- content/shared/influxdb-v2/tools/grafana.md
- content/influxdb/v1/tools/grafana.md
- content/enterprise_influxdb/v1/tools/grafana.md
- Add InfluxDB version detector shortcode to all Grafana pages
- Add comprehensive alt_links to v2 and Cloud Grafana pages
- Include links to all InfluxDB versions (v1, enterprise_v1, v2, cloud, and all v3 products)
- Improve cross-product navigation for Grafana documentation
Creates an interactive InfluxDB version detector component in TypeScript and a shortcode that generates a button to trigger
the version detector modal.
The shortcode takes a parameter that displays a predefined set of links for results.
- Support URL pattern matching and ping header analysis
- Add questionnaire-based product identification logic
- Adds the shortcode in a note in /influxdb3/core/visualize-data/grafana/
- Set up TypeScript configuration for the project
- Configure automatic TypeScript compilation in pre-commit hooks
- Add to Grafana documentation pages
- Remove last remnants of old Cypress link checker
- Add Cypress tests, but many are still broken

Fixes:
- Fix Hugo template to include product names in detector config
- Change elimination scores from -100 to -1000 for proper filtering
- Add scoring logic for generic "InfluxDB" product (OSS v2.x)
- Exclude generic "InfluxDB" from results (too vague)
- Add comprehensive test scenario checklist to Cypress tests
- Free license now correctly excludes Enterprise, Clustered, Dedicated
- Self-hosted now correctly excludes all Cloud products
- SQL language now correctly excludes v1 and v2 products
- Results now show only specific products (OSS 1.x, OSS 2.x, etc.)
Changes:
- When users answer "I'm not sure" to all questions, show a helpful
message directing them to the reference table instead of showing
a weak ranking with low confidence.
- Detect when all questionnaire answers are "unknown"
- Display custom message explaining lack of information
- Auto-expand reference table for easy product identification
- Hide ranked results when insufficient information provided
- Make product names clickable in the quick reference table to allow
users to quickly navigate to product documentation after identifying
their InfluxDB version.
- Follow Copilot guidelines for naming instructions files according to the directory they apply to
- Copy instructions files as CLAUDE.md to the relevant directory.
- Update placeholder instructions
- Optimize Copilot instructions
- Remove Claude instructions and reference the Copilot instructions file instead
