_status
tag to PagerDuty record. - Refactor operator profile to be in the query statistics.
Security updates
Several security issues were fixed in dependencies and the toolchain used to build InfluxDB, including:
- An issue in the
gopkg.in/yaml.v3
package import that could lead to a DoS in the templates service. - An issue in the
github.com/buger/jsonparser
package import that could potentially lead to a DoS in storage authorization. - Cumulative security fixes for Go 1.17.8-1.18.3 are included in this release.
These fixes resolve the following InfluxDB issues:
- An issue with processing large PEM files that could lead to a DoS in the templates service or flux connections using
to()
. - An issue in TLSv1.3 and a lack of ticket randomness.
- A minor issue with
filepath.Clean()
on Windows.
- An issue with processing large PEM files that could lead to a DoS in the templates service or flux connections using
Bug fixes
- Fix race condition when remote replicating deadlocks the remote writer that prevented writes to the target.
- Resolve error when creating v1 authorization (
v1 auth
) with a nonexistent bucket ID. - Add fields to the
_tasks
bucket to match schema of the same bucket in InfluxDB Cloud. Provides consistency for clients accessing both. - Fix rare case where measurement cardinality reported less than zero.
- Resolve panic on cleaning up failed iterators.
v2.2.0
This release includes the following new features and several bug fixes.
Features
- Technical preview: replicate data remotely
- Flux updates
- Build maintenance
- Task metadata
- Troubleshoot with new metrics
- Display runtime configuration in use by
influxd
- Recover user credentials
- Security updates, including a new
hardening-enabled
option to enable additional security.
Technical preview: replicate data remotely
Add the option to replicate data from InfluxDB OSS to InfluxDB Cloud.
On rare occasions, remote write failures may cause data in the replication queue to get stuck. To ensure data is not dropped, restart the InfluxDB instance replicating data.
To assess whether this issue is occurring, we recommend periodically doing one of the following:
- Verify your data is successfully replicated to your target bucket.
- View your queue size using
influx replication list
for unexpected growth.
Replicating data remotely lets you do following:
- Create a durable subscription on a per bucket basis for the purposes of replicating data on-write from an InfluxDB OSS instance to InfluxDB Cloud.
- Store, analyze, and aggregate data locally while also forwarding newly arriving data to a centralized InfluxDB Cloud account.
- Configure a maximum buffer size and data age restrictions to restrict the amount of data stored on disk.
Flux updates
- Update to Flux v0.150.0.
- Add option to log Flux queries that are cancelled because of server shutdown.
Build maintenance
- Upgrade
protobuf
library.
Task metadata
- Add option to pass
type=basic
to/api/v2/tasks
to return task metadata without the query text.
Troubleshoot with new metrics
To assist with troubleshooting and operational management, expose the following metrics in Prometheus Exposition Format.
TSM compaction metrics
storage_compaction
storage_compactions_active
storage_compactions_duration_seconds_bucket
storage_compactions_duration_seconds_count
storage_compactions_duration_seconds_sum
storage_compactions_queued
storage_compactions_total
Failed to add to replication queue metrics

: Current memory consumption of cachediskBytes
: Size of most recent snapshot"latest_snapshot
: Unix time of most recent snapshotwrites_total
: Counter of all writes to cachewrites_err
: Counter of failed writes to cachewrites_dropped
: Counter of writes (with any dropped points) to cache
WAL subsystem metrics
size
: Size of WAL in byteswrites
: Number of write attempts to the WALwrites_err
: Number of failed write attempts to the WAL
See InfluxDB OSS metrics for additional detail.
Display runtime configuration in use by influxd
- Add
api/v2/config
endpoint to display the runtime configuration (for example, when you runinfluxd print-config
). This endpoint lets you review runtime configuration while the instance is live.
Recover user credentials
To recover user credentials, use influx recovery user list
to retrieve a list of users, and then use influx recovery user update
to update the password for a specified user.
Security updates
- Add the
hardening-enabled
option to limit flux/pkger HTTP requests. The newhardening-enabled
option ensures that InfluxDB first verifies the IP address of the URL is not private. By default, Flux HTTP and template fetching requests are allowed to access localhost and private IP addresses.- Disable use of jsonnet with
/api/v2/templates/apply
. This prevents crafted authenticated requests from exfiltrating files accessible to the user InfluxDB runs as.
- Disable use of jsonnet with
- Add read permissions check for querying data.
This prevents authenticated requests using a write-only token from reading data
via the InfluxQL
/query
compatibility API. - Add write permissions check for
DELETE
andDROP MEASUREMENT
. This prevents authenticated requests using a read-only token from deleting data via the InfluxQL/query
compatibility API. Additionally, several security issues were fixed in dependencies and the toolchain used to build InfluxDB, including: - The following cumulative security fixes for Flux v0.161.0 since 0.139.0 are included in this release:
- Quote db identifiers.
This addresses injection vulnerabilities in database connections using
to()
. - Make substring check bounds correctly. This prevents authenticated queries from crashing the Flux engine.
- Quote db identifiers.
This addresses injection vulnerabilities in database connections using
- The cumulative security fixes for Go 1.17.8 since Go 1.17.2 are included in this release. This addresses an issue in the InfluxDB test suite.
Bug fixes
- Ensure manual task runs can happen concurrently.
- Extend snapshot copy of backup to filesystems that do not support hard links.
- Detect misquoted tag values and return an error.
- Fix potential deadlock in
influxd inspect dump-tsi
. - Successfully handle errors returned by
Sketch.Merge
. - Return
X-version
andX-Build
headers for all requests to/ping
endpoint. - Add error when
meta.db
is missing. - Sync TSI index file before closing.
- Fix race condition that could cause
restore
command to fail. - To successfully restore a backup, use copy when a rename spans volumes.
- Disable use of jsonnet with
/api/v2/templates/apply
. - Ensure that updating a check (
/checks/{checkID}
) does not require an owner ID. - Remove NATS for scraper processing. Note, this fix does not alter scraper functionality–scrapers still work as they did before.
nats-port
andnats-max-payload-bytes
flags have been deprecated.- NATS is no longer embedded in InfluxDB. Because InfluxDB no longer requires a port for NATS, port conflict issues are reduced.
- Resolve the issue that prevented the browser from tracking the cookie
expiry
correctly, causing the cookie to expire automatically when restarting the browser or changing tabs. Now, the cookie is correctly preserved. - Allow unlimited Flux HTTP calls. Previously, HTTP requests failed silently after 100 MB of data transfer.
- Remove pagination limits on the
/telegrafs
API. Previously, pagination wasn’t exposed to the API, so API requests were limited to the default 20 pages.
v2.1.1
To address underlying installation package issues, we bumped the 2.1 release version to 2.1.1.
This release includes several new features and bug fixes.
influx
CLI moved to separate repository
The influx
CLI has been moved to its own GitHub repository.
influxdb
release artifacts affected
Release artifacts produced by influxdb
are impacted as follows:
- Release archives (
.tar.gz
and.zip
) no longer contain theinflux
binary. - The
influxdb2
package (.deb
and.rpm
) no longer contains theinflux
binary. Instead, the package declares a recommended dependency on the newinfluxdb2-cli
package. - The
quay.io/influxdb/influxdb
image no longer contains theinflux
binary. We recommend migrating to theinfluxdb
image hosted on DockerHub.
Find supported influx
CLI commands
With this change, versions of the influx
CLI and InfluxDB server (influxd
) are not guaranteed to exactly match. To check the version of the influxd
server, see influxd version
in influx
CLI or use the /health
endpoint of your InfluxDB server.
The influx
CLI documentation has been updated to reflect which influx
CLI commands work with which versions of InfluxDB.
Features
This release includes the following new features:
- Notebooks, annotations, and visualization updates
- API and CLI updates
- Support for latest Flux and Telegraf releases
- Updates to the InfluxQL
- Token updates
- Flux location support
Notebooks, annotations, and visualization updates
- Add support for notebooks and annotations.

API
- Add new parameters to GET
/users
API, including:offset
,limit
, andafter
. - Add the
api/v2/backup/metadata
endpoint for backing up both key-value and SQL metadata, and theapi/v2/restore/sql
for restoring SQL metadata. - Deprecated
POST .../secrets/delete
. To delete a secret, useDELETE .../secrets/{secretID}
.
CLI
influxd configuration
Added several new configuration options to influxd
:
- Add
influxd recovery
command to let you create a recovery Operator token. - Add
--sqlite-path
flag for specifying a user-defined path to the SQLite database file. - Add
--storage-wal-max-concurrent-writes
flag to enable tuning memory pressure under heavy write load. - Add
--storage-wal-max-write-delay
flag to prevent deadlocks when the WAL is overloaded with concurrent writes. - Add
--storage-write-timeout
flag to set write request timeouts. - Add
--storage-no-validate-field-size
flag to disable enforcement of max field size. - Update
--store
flag to work with string values disk or memory. Memory continues to store metadata in-memory for testing; disk persists metadata to disk via bolt and SQLite.
For more information, see InfluxDB configuration options.
influxd inspect
Ported the following influxd inspect
commands from InfluxDB 1.x:
- influxd inspect build-tsi
- influxd inspect delete-tsm
- influxd inspect dump-tsi
- influxd inspect dump-tsm
- influxd inspect dump-wal
- influxd inspect report-tsi
- influxd inspect report-tsm

to show all databases andSHOW MEASUREMENTS ON <db>.*
to show all retention policies.- Add hyper log operators
merge_hll
,sum_hll
, andcount_hll
in InfluxQL to optimize series iteration. (count_hll
optimizes queries that can be answered without inspecting TSM data.)
Telegraf
- Add the following new Telegraf plugins to the Load Data page:
- Alibaba (Aliyun) CloudMonitor Service Statistics (
aliyuncms
) - AMD ROCm System Management Interface (SMI) (
amd_rocm_smi

. - If restoring a backup overwrites the Operator token, the new token value is returned.
Bug fixes
- Log API errors to server logs and tell clients to check the server logs for the error message.
- Fix pagination for GET
/buckets
API when displaying results. Previously, pagination was broken if a request included both anorg
filter AND theafter
request parameter. Also correctsdescending
parameter to sort when anorg
filter is used and saved. - Sync series segment to disk after writing.
- Do not allow shard creation to create overlapping shards.
- Don’t drop shard group durations when upgrading InfluxDB.

v2.0.5 General Availability
InfluxDB v2.0.5 introduced a defect that prevents users from successfully upgrading
from InfluxDB 1.x to 2.0 using the influxd upgrade
command or Docker.
To automatically upgrade from 1.x to 2.0
with the influxd upgrade
command or with Docker,
use InfluxDB v2.0.6.
Windows Support
This release includes our initial Windows preview build.
Breaking Changes
/debug/vars removed
Prior to this release, the influxd
server would expose profiling information over the /debug/vars
endpoint.
This endpoint was unauthenticated and not used by InfluxDB systems to report diagnostics.
For security and clarity, the endpoint has been removed.
Use the /metrics
endpoint to collect system statistics.
influx transpile
removed
The transpile
command has been removed. Send InfluxQL requests directly to the server via the /api/v2/query
or /query
HTTP endpoints.
Default query concurrency changed
The default setting for the max number of concurrent Flux queries has been changed from 10 to unlimited (0
).
To limit query concurrency and queue size:
- Set the
query-concurrency
config parameter to > 0 when runninginfluxd
to re-limit the maximum running query count, - Set the
query-queue-size
config parameter to > 0 to set the max number of queries that can be queued before the server starts rejecting requests.
Prefix for query-controller metrics changed
The prefix used for Prometheus metrics from the query controller has changed from query_control_
to qc_
.
Features
- Add Swift client library to the Load Data section of the InfluxDB UI.
- Add
influx task retry-failed
command to rerun failed runs. - Add
--compression
option to theinflux write
command to support Gzip inputs. - Add new
influxd
configuration options: - Add
/debug/pprof/all
HTTP endpoint to gather all profiles at once. - Include the InfluxDB 1.x
http.pprof-enabled
configuration option in the 2.0 configuration file generated by the InfluxDB upgrade process. - Add support for custom shard group durations on buckets.
- Optimize regular expression conditions in InfluxQL subqueries.
- Update Telegraf plugins in the InfluxDB UI to include additions and changes from Telegraf 1.18.
- Display task IDs in the tasks list in the InfluxDB UI.
- Write to standard output (
stdout

v2.0.3 General Availability
Breaking Changes
influxd upgrade
Previously, influxd upgrade
would attempt to write upgraded config.toml
files into the same directory as the source
influxdb.conf
file. If this failed, a warning would be logged and config.toml
would write into the home
directory of the user who launched the upgrade.
This release breaks this behavior in two ways:
- By default,
config.toml
writes into the same directory as the Bolt DB and engine files (~/.influxdbv2/
) - If writing upgraded config fails, the
upgrade
process exits with an error instead of falling back to theHOME
directory
To override the default configuration path (~/.influxdbv2/
), use the new --v2-config-path
option to specify the output path to the v2 configuration file (config.toml
). For details, see Upgrade from InfluxDB 1.x to InfluxDB 2.0.
InfluxDB v2 packaging
We’ve renamed the InfluxDB v2 DEB and RPM packages to clarify versions. The package name is now influxdb2
and conflicts with any previous influxdb
package (including initial 2.0.0, 2.0.1, and 2.0.2 packages).
This release also defines v2-specific path defaults and provides helper scripts for influxd upgrade
and cleanup cases.
Features
- Allow password to be specified as a CLI option in
influx v1 auth create
. - Allow password to be specified as a CLI option in
influx v1 auth set-password
. - Implement delete with predicate.

- Always respect the
--name
option ininflux setup
. - Allow for 0 (infinite) values for
--retention
ininflux setup
. - Fix panic when using a
null
value as a record or array in a Flux query.
v2.0.2 General Availability
Breaking changes
DBRP HTTP API now matches Swagger documentation
Previously, the database retention policy (DBRP) mapping API did not match the swagger spec. If you’re using scripts based on the previous implementation instead of the swagger spec, you’ll need to either update them or use the new DBRP CLI commands instead.
Features
- Improvements to upgrade from 1.x to 2.x:
- Warning appears if auth is not enabled in 1.x (
auth-enabled = false
), which is not an option in 2.x. For details, see Upgrade from InfluxDB 1.x to InfluxDB 2.0. upgrade
command now checks to see if continuous queries are running and automatically exports them to a local file.

flag for backup/restore CLI command. This is passed to the underlying HTTP client for theBackupService
andRestoreService
to support backup and restore on servers with self-signed certificates. - Don’t automatically print help on
influxd
errors. - Add
SameSite=Strict
flag to session cookie. - Ensure
