<h1 id="influxdb-09-and-newer-persistence">InfluxDB (0.9 and newer) Persistence</h1>
<p>This service allows you to persist and query states using the <a href="http://influxdb.org">InfluxDB</a> time series database. The persisted values can be queried from within openHAB. There also are nice tools on the web for visualizing InfluxDB time series, such as <a href="http://grafana.org/">Grafana</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>There are two Influxdb persistence bundles which support different InfluxDB versions. This service, named <code class="highlighter-rouge">influxdb</code>, supports InfluxDB 0.9 and newer, and the <code class="highlighter-rouge">influxdb08</code> service supports InfluxDB up to version 0.8.x.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="database-structure">Database Structure</h2>
<p>The states of an item are persisted in time series with names equal to the name of the item. All values are stored in a field called “value” using integers or doubles, <code class="highlighter-rouge">OnOffType</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">OpenClosedType</code> values are stored using 0 or 1. The times for the entries are calculated by InfluxDB.</p>
<p>An example entry for an item with the name “AmbientLight” would look like this:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>time</th>
<th>sequence_number</th>
<th>value</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1402243200072</td>
<td>79370001</td>
<td>6</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<h2 id="prerequisites">Prerequisites</h2>
<p>First of all you have to setup and run an InfluxDB server. This is very easy and you will find good documentation on it on the <a href="https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.2/">InfluxDB web site</a>.</p>
<p>Then database and the user must be created. This can be done using the InfluxDB admin web interface. If you want to use the defaults, then create a database called <code class="highlighter-rouge">openhab</code> and a user with write access on the database called <code class="highlighter-rouge">openhab</code>. Choose a password and remember it.</p>
<h2 id="configuration">Configuration</h2>
<p>This service can be configured in the file <code class="highlighter-rouge">services/influxdb.cfg</code>.</p>
