Flux is packaged with **InfluxDB v1.8+** and does not require any additional installation,
|
|
however it is **disabled by default and needs to be enabled**.
|
|
|
|
## Enable Flux
|
|
Enable Flux by setting the `flux-enabled` option to `true` under the `[http]` section of your `influxdb.conf`:
|
|
|
|
###### influxdb.conf
|
|
```toml
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
|
[http]
|
|
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
|
flux-enabled = true
|
|
|
|
# ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> The default location of your `influxdb.conf` depends on your operating system.
|
|
> More information is available in the [Configuring InfluxDB](/influxdb/v1/administration/config/#using-the-configuration-file) guide.
|
|
|
|
When InfluxDB starts, the Flux daemon starts as well and data can be queried using Flux.
