--- title: Write data with no-code third-party technologies description: Write data to InfluxDB using third-party technologies that do not require coding. url: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2/write-data/no-code/third-party/ estimated_tokens: 2265 product: InfluxDB OSS v2 version: v2 --- # Write data with no-code third-party technologies This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. [InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/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/v2/admin/tokens/#token-hashing). Write data to InfluxDB by configuring third-party technologies that don’t require coding. ## Prerequisites - Authentication credentials for your InfluxDB instance: your InfluxDB host URL, [organization](/influxdb/v2/admin/organizations/), [bucket](/influxdb/v2/admin/buckets/), and an [API token](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/) with write permission on the bucket. To setup InfluxDB and create credentials, follow the [Get started](/influxdb/v2/get-started/) guide. - Access to one of the third-party tools listed in this guide. You can configure the following third-party tools to send line protocol data directly to InfluxDB without writing code: Many third-party integrations are community contributions. If there’s an integration missing from the list below, please [open a docs issue](https://github.com/influxdata/docs-v2/issues/new/choose) to let us know. - [Vector 0.9 or later](#configure-vector) - [Apache NiFi 1.8 or later](#configure-apache-nifi) - [OpenHAB 3.0 or later](#configure-openhab) - [Apache JMeter 5.2 or later](#configure-apache-jmeter) - [Apache Pulsar](#configure-apache-pulsar) - [FluentD 1.x or later](#configure-fluentd) ## Configure Vector > Vector is a lightweight and ultra-fast tool for building observability pipelines. > > – [Vector documentation](https://vector.dev/docs/) Configure Vector to write metrics and log events to an InfluxDB instance. 1. Configure your [InfluxDB authentication credentials](#prerequisites) for Vector to write to your bucket. - View example configurations: - [InfluxDB metrics sink configuration](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#configuration) - [InfluxDB logs sink configuration](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_logs/#example-configurations) - Use the following Vector configuration fields for InfluxDB v2 credentials: - [`endpoint`](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#endpoint): the URL (including scheme, host, and port) for your InfluxDB instance - [`org`](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#org): the name of your InfluxDB organization - [`bucket`](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#bucket): the name of the bucket to write data to - [`token`](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#token): an API token with write permission on the specified bucket 2. Configure the data that you want Vector to write to InfluxDB. - View [examples of metrics events and configurations](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#examples). - View [Telemetry log metrics](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_logs/#telemetry). 3. For more detail, see the **How it works** sections: - [InfluxDB metrics sink–-How it works](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_metrics/#how-it-works) - [InfluxDB logs sink–-How it works](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/influxdb_logs/#how-it-works) ## Configure Apache NiFi > [Apache NiFi](https://nifi.apache.org/documentation/v1/) is a software project from the Apache Software Foundation designed to automate the flow of data between software systems. > > – [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_NiFi) The InfluxDB processors for Apache NiFi lets you write NiFi Record structured data into InfluxDB v2. See *[InfluxDB Processors for Apache NiFi](https://github.com/influxdata/nifi-influxdb-bundle#influxdb-processors-for-apache-nifi)* on GitHub for details. ## Configure OpenHAB > The open Home Automation Bus (openHAB, pronounced ˈəʊpənˈhæb) is an open source, technology agnostic home automation platform > > – [openHAB documentation](https://www.openhab.org/docs/) > \[The InfluxDB Persistence add-on\] service allows you to persist and query states using the \[InfluxDB\] time series database. > > – [openHAB InfluxDB persistence add-on](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/tree/main/bundles/org.openhab.persistence.influxdb) See *[InfluxDB Persistence add-on](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/tree/master/bundles/org.openhab.persistence.influxdb)* on GitHub for details. ## Configure Apache JMeter > [Apache JMeter](https://jmeter.apache.org/) is an Apache project that can be used as a load testing tool for analyzing and measuring the performance of a variety of services, with a focus on web applications. > > – [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_JMeter) 1. Create a [Backend Listener](https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#Backend_Listener) using the ***InfluxDBBackendListenerClient*** implementation. 2. In the **Backend Listener implementation** field, enter: ```text org.apache.jmeter.visualizers.backend.influxdb.influxdbBackendListenerClient ``` 3. Under **Parameters**, specify the following: - **influxdbMetricsSender**: ```text org.apache.jmeter.visualizers.backend.influxdb.HttpMetricsSender ``` - **influxdbUrl**: *(include the bucket and org you created in InfluxDB)* ```text http://localhost:8086/api/v2/write?org=my-org&bucket=jmeter ``` - **application**: `InfluxDB2` - **influxdbToken**: *your InfluxDB API token with write permission on the specified bucket* - Include additional parameters as needed. 4. Click **Add** to add the ***InfluxDBBackendListenerClient*** implementation. ## Configure Apache Pulsar > Apache Pulsar is an open source, distributed messaging and streaming platform built for the cloud. > > The InfluxDB sink connector pulls messages from Pulsar topics and persists the messages to InfluxDB. > > – [Apache Pulsar](https://pulsar.apache.org/) See *[InfluxDB sink connector](https://pulsar.apache.org/docs/en/io-influxdb-sink/)* for details. ## Configure FluentD > [Fluentd](https://www.fluentd.org/) is a cross-platform open-source data collection software project. > > – [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluentd) See *[influxdb-plugin-fluent](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-plugin-fluent)* on GitHub for details.
