InfluxDB Enterprise 1.11 release notes
InfluxDB Enterprise and FIPS-compliance
InfluxDB Enterprise 1.11+ introduces builds that are compliant with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) and adhere to a strict set of security standards. Both standard and FIPS-compliant InfluxDB Enterprise builds are available. For more information, see FIPS-compliant InfluxDB Enterprise builds.
v1.11.6
Bug Fixes
- Prevent retention service from hanging, which could lead to a failure to remove old shards.
- Fix shard precreation service to pre-create shards for more than the first database.
- Fix issues with remote iterators caused by floating point literals being rounded in a way that causes precision loss and can drastically change the result.
This impacts InfluxQL statements that require creating remote iterators.
Clusters with replication across all data nodes are unlikely to see this issue.
The additional visible changes of this fix include:
- Changes precision of floating point numbers in error messages related to InfluxQL.
- Changes precision of floating point numbers in “EXPLAIN” and “EXPLAIN ANALYZE” output.
- Changes precision of floating point numbers from InfluxQL expressions included in tracing spans.
- Fix panic when empty tags are queried.
- Fix
influx_inspect
error when deleting last measurement. - Improve TSM error handling.
Other
- Upgrade Flux to v0.194.5.
- Upgrade Go to 1.21.10.
- Upgrade
protobuf
library.
v1.11.5
Upgrading from InfluxDB Enterprise v1.11.3
If upgrading from InfluxDB Enterprise v1.11.3+ to 1.11.6, you can
now configure whether or not InfluxDB compacts series files on startup using the
compact-series-file
configuration option
in your InfluxDB Enterprise data node configuration file.
Bug Fixes
- Prevent the retention service from creating orphaned shard files.
- Fix LDAP authentication and authorization issues.
Other
- Upgrade Flux to v0.194.5.
v1.11.4
Series file compaction
With InfluxDB Enterprise v1.11.4+, InfluxDB can be configured to optionally
compact series files
before data nodes are started.
Series files are stored in _series
directories inside the
InfluxDB data directory.
Default: /var/lib/data/<db-name>/_series
.
To compact series files on startup, set the compact-series-file
configuration option
to true
in your InfluxDB Enterprise data node configuration file.
- If any series files are corrupt, the
influx_inspect
orinfluxd
processes on the data node may fail to start. In both cases, delete the series file directories before restarting the database. InfluxDB automatically regenerates the necessary series directories and files when restarting. - To check if series files are corrupt before starting the database, run the
influx_inspect verify-seriesfile
command while the database is off-line. - If series files are large (20+ gigabytes), it may be faster to delete the series file directories before starting the database.
Bug Fixes
- Adds the
compact-series-file
configuration setting to optionally execute series compaction during startup.
Other
- Update InfluxDB to latest commit in 1.11
v1.11.3
Series file compaction on startup
With InfluxDB Enterprise v1.11.3, on startup, InfluxDB runs the
influxd_inspect -compact-series-file
command to compact series files before data nodes are started.
Series files are stored in _series
directories inside the
InfluxDB data directory. Default: /var/lib/data/<db-name>/_series
- InfluxDB Enterprise v1.11.4+ introduces a configuration setting to optionally compact series on startup.
- If any series files are corrupt, the
influx_inspect
orinfluxd
processes on the data node may fail to start. In both cases, delete the series file directories before restarting the database. InfluxDB will automatically regenerate the deleted series files when the database is restarted. - To check if series files are corrupt before starting the database, run the
influx_inspect verify-seriesfile
command while the database is off-line. - If series files are large (20+ gigabytes), it may also be faster to delete the series file directories before starting the database.

Features
Backup enhancements
Revert damaged meta nodes to a previous state: Add the
-meta-only-overwrite-force
option toinfluxd-ctl restore
to revert damaged meta nodes in an existing cluster to a previous state when restoring an InfluxDB Enterprise database.Estimate the size of a backup (full or incremental) and provide progress messages. Add

option toinfluxd-ctl backup
to estimate the size of a backup (full or incremental) and provide progress messages. Prints the number of files to back up, the percentage of bytes transferred for each file (organized by shard), and the estimated time remaining to complete the backup.
Logging enhancements
Log active queries when a process is terminated: Add the
termination-query-log
configuration option. When set totrue
all running queries are printed to the log when a data node process receives aSIGTERM
(for example, a Kubernetes process exceeds the container memory limit or the process is terminated).Log details of HTTP calls to meta nodes. When
cluster-tracing
is enabled, all API calls to meta nodes are now logged with details providing an audit trail including IP address of caller, specific API being invoked, action being invoked, and more.

v1.9.2
The release of InfluxDB Enterprise 1.9 is different from previous InfluxDB Enterprise releases in that there is no corresponding InfluxDB OSS release. (InfluxDB 1.8.x will continue to receive maintenance updates.)
Features
- Upgrade to Go 1.15.10.
- Support user-defined node labels. Node labels let you assign arbitrary key-value pairs to meta and data nodes in a cluster. For instance, an operator might want to label nodes with the availability zone in which they’re located.

influx_stress
tool (deprecated since version 1.2). Instead, useinch
orinflux-stress
(not to be confused withinflux_stress
).
Note: InfluxDB Enterprise 1.9.0 and 1.9.1 were not released. Bug fixes intended for 1.9.0 and 1.9.1 were rolled into InfluxDB Enterprise 1.9.2.
v1.8.6
Fine-grained authorization security update. If using InfluxDB Enterprise 1.8.5, we strongly recommend upgrading to InfluxDB Enterprise 1.8.6 immediately. 1.8.5 does not correctly enforce grants with specified permissions for users. Versions prior to InfluxDB Enterprise 1.8.5 are not affected. 1.8.6 ensures that only users with sufficient permissions can read and write to a measurement.
Features
- Enhanced Anti-Entropy (AE) logging: When the debug logging level is set (
level="debug"
) in the data node configuration, the Anti-Entropy service reports reasons a shard is not idle, including:- active Cache compactions
- active Level (Zero, One, Two) compactions
- active Full compactions
- active TSM Optimization compactions
- cache size is nonzero
- shard is not fully compacted
- Enhanced
copy-shard
logging. Add information to log messages incopy-shard
functions and additional error tests.
Bug fixes
- Use the proper TLS configuration when a meta node makes an remote procedure call (RPC) to a data node. Addresses RPC call issues using the following influxd-ctl commands:
copy-shard
copy-shard-status
kill-copy-shard
remove-shard
- Previously, the Anti-Entropy service would loop trying to copy an empty shard to a data node missing that shard. Now, an empty shard is successfully created on a new node.
- Check for previously ignored errors in
DiffIterator.Next()
. Update to check before possible function exit and ensure handles are closed on error in digest diffs.
v1.8.5
The InfluxDB Enterprise v1.8.5 release builds on the InfluxDB OSS v1.8.5 release. For details on changes incorporated from the InfluxDB OSS release, see InfluxDB OSS release notes.
Bug fixes
- Resolve TSM backup “snapshot in progress” error.
- SHOW DATABASES now only shows databases that the user has either read or write access to
influxd_ctl entropy show
now shows shard expiry times consistent withinfluxd_ctl show-shards
- Add labels to the values returned in SHOW SHARDS output to clarify the node ID and TCP address.
- Always forward repairs to the next data node (even if the current data node does not have to take action for the repair).
v1.8.4
The InfluxDB Enterprise 1.8.4 release builds on the InfluxDB OSS 1.8.4 release. For details on changes incorporated from the InfluxDB OSS release, see InfluxDB OSS release notes.
Note: InfluxDB Enterprise 1.8.3 was not released. Bug fixes intended for 1.8.3 were rolled into InfluxDB Enterprise 1.8.4.
Features
Update your InfluxDB Enterprise license without restarting data nodes
Add the ability to renew or update your license key or file without restarting data nodes.
Bug fixes
- Wrap TCP mux–based HTTP server with a function that adds custom headers.
- Correct output for
influxd-ctl show shards
. - Properly encode/decode
control.Shard.Err
.
v1.8.2
The InfluxDB Enterprise 1.8.2 release builds on the InfluxDB OSS 1.8.2 and 1.8.1 releases. Due to a defect in InfluxDB OSS 1.8.1, InfluxDB Enterprise 1.8.1 was not released. This release resolves the defect and includes the features and bug fixes listed below. For details on changes incorporated from the InfluxDB OSS release, see InfluxDB OSS release notes.
Features
Hinted handoff improvements
- Allow out-of-order writes. This change adds a configuration option
allow-out-of-order-writes
to the[cluster]
section of the data node configuration file. This setting defaults tofalse
to match the existing behavior. There are some important operational considerations to review before turning this on. But, the result is enabling this option reduces the time required to drain the hinted handoff queue and increase throughput during recovery. Seeallow-out-of-order-writes
for more detail. - Make the number of pending writes configurable. This change adds a configuration option in the
[hinted-handoff]
section calledmax-pending-writes
, which defaults to1024
. See max-pending-writes for more detail. - Update the hinted handoff queue to ensure various entries to segment files occur atomically. Prior to this change, entries were written to disk in three separate writes (len, data, offset). If the process stopped in the middle of any of those writes, the hinted handoff segment file was left in an invalid state.
- In certain scenarios, the hinted-handoff queue would fail to drain. Upon node startup, the queue segment files are now verified and truncated if any are corrupted. Some additional logging has been added when a node starts writing to the hinted handoff queue as well.
influxd-ctl
CLI improvements
- Add a verbose flag to
influxd-ctl show-shards
. This option provides more information about each shard owner, including the state (hot/cold), last modified date and time, and size on disk.
Bug fixes
- Resolve a cluster read service issue that caused a panic. Previously, if no tags keys or values were read, the cluster read service returned a nil cursor. Now, an empty cursor is returned.
- LDAP configuration:
GroupSearchBaseDNs
,SearchFilter
,GroupMembershipSearchFilter
, andGroupSearchFilter
values in the LDAP section of the configuration file are now all escaped. - Eliminate orphaned, temporary directories when an error occurs during
processCreateShardSnapshotRequest()
and provide useful log information regarding the reason a temporary directory is created.
v1.8.0
The InfluxDB Enterprise 1.8 release builds on the InfluxDB OSS 1.8 release. For details on changes incorporated from the InfluxDB OSS release, see InfluxDB OSS release notes.

-strategy
flag andonly meta
option:influx ctl backup -strategy only meta </your-backup-directory>
.Note: To restore a meta data backup, use the
restore -full
command and specify your backup manifest:influxd-ctl restore -full </backup-directory/backup.manifest>
.
For more information, see Perform a metastore only backup.
Incremental and full backups
- Add
incremental
andfull
backup options to the new-strategy

v1.7.6
This InfluxDB Enterprise release builds on the InfluxDB OSS 1.7.6 release. For details on changes incorporated from the InfluxDB OSS release, see InfluxDB OSS release notes.
Bug fixes
- Reverts v1.7.5 InfluxQL regressions that removed parentheses and resulted in operator precedence causing changing results in complex queries and regular expressions.
v1.7.5
If you are currently on this release, roll back to v1.7.4 until a fix is available.
After upgrading to this release, some customers have experienced regressions, including parentheses being removed resulting in operator precedence causing changing results in complex queries and regular expressions.
Examples:
- Complex WHERE clauses with parentheses. For example,
WHERE d > 100 AND (c = 'foo' OR v = 'bar'
). - Conditions not including parentheses caysubg operator precedence to return
(a AND b) OR c
instead ofa AND (b OR c)
This InfluxDB Enterprise release builds on the InfluxDB OSS 1.7.5 release. For details on changes incorporated from the InfluxDB OSS release, see InfluxDB OSS release notes.
Features
- Add
influx_tools
utility (for internal support use) to be part of the packaging.
Bug fixes
- Anti-Entropy: fix
contains no .tsm files
error. fix(cluster)
: account for nil result set when writing read response.
v1.7.4
This InfluxDB Enterprise release builds on the InfluxDB OSS 1.7.4 release. For details on changes incorporated from the InfluxDB OSS release, see InfluxDB OSS release notes.
Bug fixes
- Use
systemd
for Amazon Linux 2.
v1.7.3
This InfluxDB Enterprise release builds on the InfluxDB OSS 1.7.3 release. For details on changes incorporated from the InfluxDB OSS release, see the InfluxDB OSS release notes.
Important update
If you have not installed this release, then install the 1.7.4 release.
If you are currently running this release, then upgrade to the 1.7.4 release as soon as possible.
A critical defect in the InfluxDB 1.7.3 release was discovered and our engineering team fixed the issue in the 1.7.4 release. Out of high concern for your data and projects, upgrade to the 1.7.4 release as soon as possible.
- Critical defect: Shards larger than 16GB are at high risk for data loss during full compaction. The full compaction process runs when a shard go “cold” – no new data is being written into the database during the time range specified by the shard.
- Post-mortem analysis: InfluxData engineering is performing a post-mortem analysis to determine how this defect was introduced. Their discoveries will be shared in a blog post.
A small percentage of customers experienced data node crashes with segmentation violation errors. We fixed this issue in 1.7.4.
Breaking changes
- Fix invalid UTF-8 bytes preventing shard opening. Treat fields and measurements as raw bytes.
Features
Anti-entropy service disabled by default
Prior to v.1.7.3, the anti-entropy (AE) service was enabled by default. When shards create large digests with lots of time ranges (10s of thousands), some customers experienced significant performance issues, including CPU usage spikes. If your shards include a small number of time ranges (most have 1 to 10, some have up to several hundreds) and you can benefit from the AE service, then you can enable AE and watch to see if performance is significantly impacted.

v1.6.6
This release only includes the InfluxDB OSS 1.6.6 changes (no Enterprise-specific changes).
v1.6.5
This release builds off of the InfluxDB OSS 1.6.0 through 1.6.5 releases. For details about changes incorporated from InfluxDB OSS releases, see InfluxDB OSS release notes.
v1.6.4
This release builds off of the InfluxDB OSS 1.6.0 through 1.6.4 releases. For details about changes incorporated from InfluxDB OSS releases, see the InfluxDB OSS release notes.
Breaking changes
Require internal-shared-secret
if meta auth enabled
If [meta] auth-enabled
is set to true
, the [meta] internal-shared-secret
value must be set in the configuration.
If it is not set, an error will be logged and influxd-meta
will not start.
- Previously, authentication could be enabled without setting an
internal-shared-secret
. The security risk was that an unset (empty) value could be used for theinternal-shared-secret
, seriously weakening the JWT authentication used for internode communication.
Review production installation configurations
The Production Installation
documentation has been updated to fix errors in configuration settings, including changing shared-secret
to internal-shared-secret
and adding missing steps for configuration settings of data nodes and meta nodes. All Enterprise users should review their current configurations to ensure that the configuration settings properly enable JWT authentication for internode communication.
The following summarizes the expected settings for proper configuration of JWT authentication for internode communication:
Data node configuration files (influxdb.conf
)
[http] section
auth-enabled = true
- Enables authentication. Default value is false.
[meta] section
meta-auth-enabled = true
- Must match for meta nodes’
[meta] auth-enabled
settings.
- Must match for meta nodes’
meta-internal-shared-secret = "<long-pass-phrase>"
- Must be the same pass phrase on all meta nodes’
[meta] internal-shared-secret
settings. - Used by the internal API for JWT authentication. Default value is
""
. - A long pass phrase is recommended for stronger security.
- Must be the same pass phrase on all meta nodes’
Meta node configuration files (meta-influxdb.conf
)
[meta] section
auth-enabled = true
- Enables authentication. Default value is
false
.
- Enables authentication. Default value is
internal-shared-secret = "<long-pass-phrase>"
- Must same pass phrase on all data nodes’
[meta] meta-internal-shared-secret
settings. - Used by the internal API for JWT authentication. Default value is
""
. - A long pass phrase is recommended for better security.
- Must same pass phrase on all data nodes’
Note: To provide encrypted internode communication, you must enable HTTPS. Although the JWT signature is encrypted, the the payload of a JWT token is encoded, but is not encrypted.
Bug fixes
- Only map shards that are reported ready.
- Fix data race when shards are deleted and created concurrently.
- Reject
influxd-ctl update-data
from one existing host to another. - Require
internal-shared-secret
if meta auth enabled.

Configuration Changes
The following configuration changes may need to changed before upgrading to 1.2.2 from prior versions.
shard-writer-timeout
We’ve removed the data node’s shard-writer-timeout
configuration option from the [cluster]
section.
As of version 1.2.2, the system sets shard-writer-timeout
internally.
The configuration option can be removed from the data node configuration file.
retention-autocreate
In versions 1.2.0 and 1.2.1, the retention-autocreate
setting appears in both the meta node and data node configuration files.
To disable retention policy auto-creation, users on version 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 must set retention-autocreate
to false
in both the meta node and data node configuration files.
In version 1.2.2, we’ve removed the retention-autocreate
setting from the data node configuration file.
As of version 1.2.2, users may remove retention-autocreate
from the data node configuration file.
To disable retention policy auto-creation, set retention-autocreate
to false
in the meta node configuration file only.
This change only affects users who have disabled the retention-autocreate
option and have installed version 1.2.0 or 1.2.1.

Upgrading
- The
retention-autocreate
configuration option has moved from the meta node configuration file to the data node configuration file. To disable the auto-creation of retention policies, setretention-autocreate
tofalse
in your data node configuration files. - The previously deprecated
influxd-ctl force-leave
command has been removed. The replacement command to remove a meta node which is never coming back online isinfluxd-ctl remove-meta -force

v1.1.3
This release incorporates the changes in the 1.1.4 release of OSS InfluxDB. Please see the OSS changelog for more information about the OSS release.
Bug fixes
- Delay when a node listens for network connections until after all requisite services are running. This prevents queries to the cluster from failing unnecessarily.
- Allow users to set the
GOMAXPROCS
environment variable.
v1.1.2
This release was an internal release only. It incorporates the changes in the 1.1.3 release of OSS InfluxDB. Please see the OSS changelog for more information about the OSS release.
v1.1.1
This release builds off of the 1.1.1 release of OSS InfluxDB. Please see the OSS release notes for more information about the OSS release.
This release is built with Go (golang) 1.7.4. It resolves a security vulnerability reported in Go (golang) version 1.7.3 which impacts all users currently running on the macOS platform, powered by the Darwin operating system.
Cluster-specific bug fixes
- Fix hinted-handoff issue: Fix record size larger than max size If a Hinted Handoff write appended a block that was larger than the maximum file size, the queue would get stuck because the maximum size was not updated. When reading the block back out during processing, the system would return an error because the block size was larger than the file size – which indicates a corrupted block.
v1.1.0
This release builds off of the 1.1.0 release of InfluxDB OSS. Please see the OSS release notes for more information about the OSS release.
Upgrading
- The 1.1.0 release of OSS InfluxDB has some important configuration changes that may affect existing clusters.
- The
influxd-ctl join
command has been renamed toinfluxd-ctl add-meta
. If you have existing scripts that useinfluxd-ctl join
, they will need to useinfluxd-ctl add-meta
or be updated to use the new cluster setup command.
Cluster setup
The influxd-ctl join
command has been changed to simplify cluster setups. To join a node to a cluster, you can run influxd-ctl join <meta:8091>
, and we will attempt to detect and add any meta or data node process running on the hosts automatically. The previous join
command exists as add-meta
now. If it’s the first node of a cluster, the meta address argument is optional.
Logging
Switches to journald logging for on systemd systems. Logs are no longer sent to /var/log/influxdb
on systemd systems.
Cluster-specific features
- Add a configuration option for setting gossiping frequency on data nodes
- Allow for detailed insight into the Hinted Handoff queue size by adding
queueBytes
to the hh_processor statistics - Add authentication to the meta service API
- Update Go (golang) dependencies: Fix Go Vet and update circle Go Vet command
- Simplify the process for joining nodes to a cluster
- Include the node’s version number in the
influxd-ctl show
output - Return and error if there are additional arguments after
influxd-ctl show
Fixes any confusion between the correct command for showing detailed shard information (influxd-ctl show-shards
) and the incorrect command (influxd-ctl show shards
)
Cluster-specific bug fixes
- Return an error if getting latest snapshot takes longer than 30 seconds
- Remove any expired shards from the
/show-shards
output - Respect the
pprof-enabled
configuration setting and enable it by default on meta nodes - Respect the
pprof-enabled
configuration setting on data nodes - Use the data reference instead of
Clone()
during read-only operations for performance purposes - Prevent the system from double-collecting cluster statistics
- Ensure that the Meta API redirects to the cluster leader when it gets the
ErrNotLeader
error - Don’t overwrite cluster users with existing OSS InfluxDB users when migrating an OSS instance into a cluster
- Fix a data race in the raft store
- Allow large segment files (> 10MB) in the Hinted Handoff
- Prevent
copy-shard
from retrying if thecopy-shard
command was killed - Prevent a hanging
influxd-ctl add-data
command by making data nodes check for meta nodes before they join a cluster
v1.0.4
Cluster-specific bug fixes

v1.0.0
This release builds off of the 1.0.0 release of OSS InfluxDB. Please see the OSS release notes for more information about the OSS release.
Breaking Changes:
- The keywords
IF
,EXISTS
, andNOT
were removed for this release. This means you no longer need to specifyIF NOT EXISTS
forDROP DATABASE
orIF EXISTS
forCREATE DATABASE
. Using these keywords will return a query error. max-series-per-database
was added with a default of 1M but can be disabled by setting it to0
. Existing databases with series that exceed this limit will continue to load, but writes that would create new series will fail.
Hinted handoff
A number of changes to hinted handoff are included in this release:
- Truncating only the corrupt block in a corrupted segment to minimize data loss
- Immediately queue writes in hinted handoff if there are still writes pending to prevent inconsistencies in shards
- Remove hinted handoff queues when data nodes are removed to eliminate manual cleanup tasks
Performance
SHOW MEASUREMENTS
andSHOW TAG VALUES
have been optimized to work better for multiple nodes and shardsDROP
andDELETE
statements run in parallel and more efficiently and should not leave the system in an inconsistent state
Security
The Cluster API used by influxd-ctl
can not be protected with SSL certs.
Cluster management
Data nodes that can no longer be restarted can now be forcefully removed from the cluster using influxd-ctl remove-data -force <addr>
. This should only be run if a grace removal is not possible.
Backup and restore has been updated to fix issues and refine existing capabilities.
Cluster-specific features
- Add the Users method to control client
- Add a
-force
option to theinfluxd-ctl remove-data
command - Disable the logging of
stats

- Add unit testing around restore in the meta store
- Add full TLS support to the cluster API, including the use of self-signed certificates
- Improve backup/restore to allow for partial restores to a different cluster or to a database with a different database name
- Update the shard group creation logic to be balanced
- Keep raft log to a minimum to prevent replaying large raft logs on startup
Cluster-specific bug fixes
- Remove bad connections from the meta executor connection pool
- Fix a panic in the meta store
- Fix a panic caused when a shard group is not found
