InfluxDB OSS URLs
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.
InfluxDB OSS is accessed at localhost:8086 by default, but you can also
customize your InfluxDB host and port.
Default host: localhost
Default port: 8086
http://localhost:8086/Customize your InfluxDB OSS URL
To customize your InfluxDB host and port, use the
http-bind-address configuration option
when starting influxd.
# Syntax
influxd --http-bind-address <custom-domain>:<custom-port>
# Example - Run InfluxDB at http://example.com:8080
influxd --http-bind-address example.com:8080
# Example - Run InfluxDB at http://localhost:8080
influxd --http-bind-address :8080Configure DNS routing
You must configure DNS routing to successfully route requests to your custom hostname. Methods for configuring DNS routing vary depending on your operating system and network architecture and are not covered in this documentation.
