Visualization types

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. InfluxDB 3 Core is the latest stable version.

API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade.

For more information, see Token hashing.

The InfluxDB UI provides multiple visualization types to visualize your data in a format that makes the most sense for your use case. Use the available customization options to customize each visualization.

Band

Gauge

The Gauge view displays the single value most recent value for a time series in a gauge view.

Graph

The Graph view lets you select from multiple graph types such as line graphs and bar graphs (Coming).

Graph + Single Stat

The Graph + Single Stat view displays the specified time series in a line graph and overlays the single most recent value as a large numeric value.

Heatmap

A Heatmap displays the distribution of data on an x and y axes where color represents different concentrations of data points.

Histogram

A histogram is a way to view the distribution of data. The y-axis is dedicated to count, and the x-axis is divided into bins.

Mosaic

The Mosaic visualization displays state changes in your time series data. This visualization type is useful when you want to show changes in string-based states over time.

Scatter

The Scatter view uses a scatter plot to display time series data.

Single stat

The Single Stat view displays the most recent value of the specified time series as a numerical value.

Table

The Table option displays the results of queries in a tabular view, which is sometimes easier to analyze than graph views of data.
