# InfluxDB tools and integrations

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. [InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/core/) is the latest stable version.

#### Flux VS Code extension no longer available

The `vsflux` extension is no longer available in the Visual Studio Marketplace. `vsflux` and the `flux-lsp` Flux Language Server Protocol plugin are no longer maintained. Their repositories have been archived and are no longer receiving updates.

### [Telegraf configurations](/influxdb/v2/tools/telegraf-configs/)

InfluxDB OSS lets you automatically generate Telegraf configurations or upload custom Telegraf configurations that collect metrics and write them to InfluxDB OSS.

### [Notebooks](/influxdb/v2/tools/notebooks/)

Use notebooks to build and annotate processes and data flows for time series data.

### [InfluxDB templates](/influxdb/v2/tools/influxdb-templates/)

InfluxDB templates are prepackaged InfluxDB configurations that contain everything from dashboards and Telegraf configurations to notifications and alerts.

### [Install and use the influx CLI](/influxdb/v2/tools/influx-cli/)

Use the `influx` and `influxd` command line interfaces to interact with and manage InfluxDB.

### [Use the Interactive Flux REPL](/influxdb/v2/tools/flux-repl/)

Use the Flux REPL (Read–Eval–Print Loop) to execute Flux scripts and interact with InfluxDB and other data sources.

### [Use the InfluxQL shell](/influxdb/v2/tools/influxql-shell/)

Use the InfluxQL interactive shell to execute InfluxQL queries and interact with InfluxDB.

### [Use the Flux LSP with Vim](/influxdb/v2/tools/flux-vim-lsp/)

Use the Flux LSP with Vim to add auto-completion, syntax checking, and other language-specific features to your editor.

### [Use Grafana with InfluxDB OSS](/influxdb/v2/tools/grafana/)

Use [Grafana](https://grafana.com/) to visualize data from your **InfluxDB** instance.

### [Use Chronograf with InfluxDB OSS](/influxdb/v2/tools/chronograf/)

Chronograf is a data visualization and dashboarding tool designed to visualize data in InfluxDB 1.x. It is part of the [TICKstack](/platform/) that provides an InfluxQL data explorer, Kapacitor integrations, and more. Continue to use Chronograf with **InfluxDB Cloud** and **InfluxDB OSS 2.x** and the [1.x compatibility API](/influxdb/v2/reference/api/influxdb-1x/).

### [Use Kapacitor with InfluxDB OSS](/influxdb/v2/tools/kapacitor/)

[Kapacitor](/kapacitor/) is a data processing framework that makes it easy to create alerts, run ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) jobs and detect anomalies. Use Kapacitor with **InfluxDB OSS 2.x**.

### [Downsample data with Quix Streams](/influxdb/v2/tools/downsample-data-quix/)

Use Quix Streams to create Python service that downsamples data stored in InfluxDB.

### [Use Postman with the InfluxDB API](/influxdb/v2/tools/postman/)

Use [Postman](https://www.postman.com/), a popular tool for exploring APIs, to interact with the [InfluxDB API](/influxdb/v2/api-guide/).

### [Use the InfluxDB documentation MCP server](/influxdb/v2/tools/mcp-server/)

Query InfluxDB documentation from your IDE using the InfluxDB documentation Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
