Set up 1.x monitoring dashboards

The following dashboards provide visualizations of performance metrics for InfluxDB open source (OSS), InfluxDB Enterprise, and Kapacitor.

Prebuilt dashboards

Chronograf provides prebuilt monitoring dashboards that use data from specific Telegraf input plugins. To view prebuilt dashboards:

  1. Open Chronograf and click Host List in the navigation bar.
  2. Each link in the Apps column is a prebuilt dashboard generated using metrics from Telegraf input plugins. Click a link to view the associated dashboard.

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
