Understand how an InfluxDB 3 Core node registers in the catalog, how a graceful shutdown flushes the write-ahead log (WAL), and how to keep container and systemd deployments on the graceful shutdown path.
Stronger token security in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0 — tokens are hashed on disk by default. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and can’t be recovered afterward. Capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade.
Hashed tokens authenticate exactly like unhashed tokens — clients and integrations keep working.
Also new in 2.9.0:
Explorer 1.9 is now available with InfluxQL support, an AI-assisted Flux to SQL converter (beta), and new live sample data simulators.
Explorer 1.9 includes new features and improvements that make it easier to query, visualize, and manage data.
Highlights:

Telegraf Controller 1.1 lets teams make fleet-wide configuration changes with a single edit using global constants, configuration groups, and configuration aliases. Configuration versioning makes every change traceable, comparable, and reversible. High availability, available with Telegraf Enterprise, automatically fails over between Controller instances so agents can continue pulling configurations and reporting health if an instance goes down.
