* docs(cli): fix global vs serve-specific flag documentation
- Remove --verbose from global flags (it's serve-specific)
- Document --num-io-threads as global-only flag
- Add clear examples showing correct flag positioning
- Update serve.md files with global flag usage notes
- Fix config-options.md to separate Core/Enterprise examples
Resolves incorrect CLI usage patterns that would cause errors.
Global flags must go before 'serve', serve-specific flags go after.
* docs(cli): remove Tokio runtime options from CLI index pages
- Remove detailed Tokio runtime options tables from CLI index pages
- Replace with simplified global options and link to config-options
- Add examples showing correct global flag positioning
- Fix --verbose usage to be serve-specific (after serve command)
- Add --num-io-threads example as global flag (before serve command)
These detailed options are now documented in config-options.md with
proper global vs serve-specific categorization.
- Adds /reference/internals/data-retention/ for data retention behavior and retention period details
- admin/databases and admin/tables:
- Adds examples for API and retention period
- Adds cautions and behavior notes for Core retention
- reference/cli/influxdb3: Adds usage examples and details
- 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.

- 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

- 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)
