InfluxQL feature support

InfluxQL is being rearchitected to work with the InfluxDB 3 storage engine. This process is ongoing and some InfluxQL features are still being implemented. This page provides information about the current implementation status of InfluxQL features.

In-progress features

SLIMIT clause

InfluxQL in InfluxDB 3 Core does not currently support the SLIMIT clause, which limits the number of series returned in query results.

SOFFSET clause

InfluxQL in InfluxDB 3 Core does not currently support the SOFFSET clause, which specifies the number of series to skip before returning results.

Metaqueries

InfluxQL metaqueries return information about the schema of time series data stored in InfluxDB. The following table provides information about what metaqueries are available in InfluxDB 3 Core:

MetaquerySupported
SHOW DATABASES
SHOW RETENTION POLICIES
SHOW MEASUREMENTS
SHOW SERIES
SHOW SERIES CARDINALITY
SHOW TAG KEYS
SHOW TAG KEY CARDINALITY
SHOW TAG VALUES
SHOW TAG VALUES CARDINALITY
SHOW FIELD KEYS
SHOW FIELD KEYS CARDINALITY

Cardinality metaqueries

With the InfluxDB 3 storage engine, series cardinality is no longer a limiting factor for database performance. Cardinality-related metaqueries will likely not be supported with the InfluxDB 3 storage engine.

New in InfluxDB 3.5

Key enhancements in InfluxDB 3.5 and the InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3.

See the Blog Post

InfluxDB 3.5 is now available for both Core and Enterprise, introducing custom plugin repository support, enhanced operational visibility with queryable CLI parameters and manual node management, stronger security controls, and general performance improvements.

InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3 brings powerful new capabilities including Dashboards (beta) for saving and organizing your favorite queries, and cache querying for instant access to Last Value and Distinct Value caches—making Explorer a more comprehensive workspace for time series monitoring and analysis.

InfluxDB Docker latest tag changing to InfluxDB 3 Core

On November 3, 2025, the latest tag for InfluxDB Docker images will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments.

If using Docker to install and run InfluxDB, the latest tag will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments. For example, if using Docker to run InfluxDB v2, replace the latest version tag with a specific version tag in your Docker pull command–for example:

docker pull influxdb:2
