## TICK overview
|
|
|
|
Chronograf is the user interface for InfluxData's [TICK stack](https://www.influxdata.com/time-series-platform/).
|
|
|
|
## Download and install
|
|
|
|
The latest Chronograf builds are available on InfluxData's [Downloads page](https://portal.influxdata.com/downloads).
|
|
|
|
1. Choose the download link for your operating system.
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
If your download includes a TAR package, save the underlying datastore `chronograf-v1.db` in directory outside of where you start Chronograf. This preserves and references your existing datastore, including configurations and dashboards, when you download future versions.

```
|

{{% /tab-content %}}

|

|
|
3. Start Chronograf:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
chronograf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Connect Chronograf to your InfluxDB instance or InfluxDB Enterprise cluster
|
|
|
|
1. In a browser, navigate to [localhost:8888](http://localhost:8888).
|
|
2. Provide the following details:
|
|
- **Connection String**: InfluxDB hostname or IP, and port (default port is `8086`).
|
|
- **Connection Name**: Connection name.
|
|
- **Username** and **Password**: If you've enabled
|
|
[InfluxDB authentication](/{{< latest "influxdb" "v1" >}}/administration/authentication_and_authorization),
|
|
provide your InfluxDB username and password. Otherwise, leave blank.
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
To ensure distinct permissions can be applied, Chronograf user accounts and
|
|
credentials should be different than InfluxDB credentials.
|
|
For example, you may want to set up Chronograf to run as a service account
|
|
with read-only permissions to InfluxDB. For more information, see how to
|
|
[manage InfluxDB users in Chronograf](/chronograf/v1.9/administration/managing-influxdb-users/)
|
|
and [manage Chronograf users](/chronograf/v1.9/administration/managing-chronograf-users/).
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
- **Telegraf Database Name**: _(Optional)_ Telegraf database name.
|
|
Default name is `telegraf`.
|
|
3. Click **Add Source**.
|
|
|
|
## Connect Chronograf to Kapacitor
|
|
|
|
1. In Chronograf, click the configuration (wrench) icon in the sidebar menu, then select **Add Config** in the **Active Kapacitator** column.
|
|

|
|
