Write data to InfluxDB by configuring third-party technologies that don't require coding.

## Prerequisites 

- Authentication credentials for your InfluxDB instance: your InfluxDB host URL,
  [organization](/influxdb/cloud/admin/organizations/),
  [bucket](/influxdb/cloud/admin/buckets/), and an [API token](/influxdb/cloud/admin/tokens/)
  with write permission on the bucket.

  To setup InfluxDB and create credentials, follow the
  [Get started](/influxdb/cloud/get-started/) guide.

- Access to one of the third-party tools listed in this guide.

You can configure the following third-party tools to send line protocol data
directly to InfluxDB without writing code:

Many third-party integrations are community contributions.
If there's an integration missing from the list below, please [open a docs issue](https://github.com/influxdata/docs-v2/issues/new/choose) to let us know.

## Configure Vector

> Vector is a lightweight and ultra-fast tool for building observability pipelines.
>
> {{% cite %}}-- [Vector documentation](https://vector.dev/docs/){{% /cite %}}

Configure Vector to write metrics and log events to an InfluxDB instance.

1. Configure your [InfluxDB authentication credentials](#prerequisites) for Vector to write to your bucket.
   - View example configurations:
     - [InfluxDB metrics sink configuration](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#configuration)
     - [InfluxDB logs sink configuration](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_logs/#example-configurations)
   - Use the following Vector configuration fields for InfluxDB v2 credentials:
     - [`endpoint`](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#endpoint):
       the URL (including scheme, host, and port) for your InfluxDB instance
     - [`org`](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#org):
       the name of your InfluxDB organization 
     - [`bucket`](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#bucket):
       the name of the bucket to write data to
     - [`token`](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#token):
       an API token with write permission on the specified bucket

3. Configure the data that you want Vector to write to InfluxDB.
   - View [examples of metrics events and configurations](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#examples).
   - View [Telemetry log metrics](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_logs/#telemetry).

4. For more detail, see the **How it works** sections:
   - [InfluxDB metrics sink–-How it works](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#how-it-works)
   - [InfluxDB logs sink–-How it works](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_logs/#how-it-works)

## Configure Apache NiFi

> [Apache NiFi](https://nifi.apache.org/documentation/v1/) is a software project from the Apache Software Foundation designed to automate the flow of data between software systems.

The InfluxDB processors for Apache NiFi lets you write NiFi Record structured
data into InfluxDB v2.

See
_[InfluxDB Processors for Apache NiFi](https://github.com/influxdata/nifi-influxdb-bundle#influxdb-processors-for-apache-nifi)_
on GitHub for details.

## Configure OpenHAB

_[InfluxDB Persistence add-on](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/tree/master/bundles/org.openhab.persistence.influxdb)_
on GitHub for details.

## Configure Apache JMeter

> [Apache JMeter](https://jmeter.apache.org/) is an Apache project that can be used as a load testing tool for
> analyzing and measuring the performance of a variety of services, with a focus
> on web applications.

1. Create a [Backend Listener](https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#Backend_Listener) using the _**InfluxDBBackendListenerClient**_ implementation.
2. In the **Backend Listener implementation** field, enter:
    ```text
    org.apache.jmeter.visualizers.backend.influxdb.influxdbBackendListenerClient
    ```
3. Under **Parameters**, specify the following:
   - **influxdbMetricsSender**:
      ```text
      org.apache.jmeter.visualizers.backend.influxdb.HttpMetricsSender
      ```
   - **influxdbUrl**: _(include the bucket and org you created in InfluxDB)_
      ```text
      https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/write?org=my-org&bucket=jmeter
      ```
   - **application**: `InfluxDB2`
   - **influxdbToken**: _your InfluxDB API token with write permission on the
     specified bucket_
   - Include additional parameters as needed.
1. Click **Add** to add the _**InfluxDBBackendListenerClient**_ implementation.

## Configure Apache Pulsar

> Apache Pulsar is an open source, distributed messaging and streaming platform
> built for the cloud.
>
> The InfluxDB sink connector pulls messages from Pulsar topics and persists the
messages to InfluxDB.
