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.

Import monitoring dashboards

Use the dashboards below to visualize and monitor key TICK stack metrics. Download the dashboard file and import it into Chronograf. For detailed instructions, see Import a dashboard.

Monitor InfluxDB OSS

Use the InfluxDB OSS Monitor dashboard to monitor InfluxDB OSS in Chronograf.

Download InfluxDB OSS Monitor dashboard

The InfluxDB OSS Monitor dashboard uses data from the _internal database (not recommended for production) or collected by the Telegraf influxdb input plugin. This dashboard contains the following cells:

  • Queries Executed Per Minute
  • HTTP Requests Per Minute
  • Points Throughput Per Minute by Hostname
  • Series Cardinality & Measurements by Database
  • HTTP Request Duration (99th %)
  • Heap Size
  • Shard Write Errors
  • Continuous Queries Executed Per Minute

Monitor InfluxDB Enterprise

Use the InfluxDB Enterprise Monitor dashboard to monitor InfluxDB Enterprise in Chronograf.

Download InfluxDB Enterprise Monitor dashboard

The InfluxDB Enterprise Monitor dashboard uses data from the _internal database (not recommended for production) or collected by the Telegraf influxdb input plugin. This dashboard contains the following cells:

  • Queries Executed Per Minute
  • HTTP Requests Per Minute
  • Points Throughput Per Minute by Hostname
  • Series Cardinality & Measurements by Database
  • HTTP Request Duration (99th %)
  • Heap Size
  • Shard Write Errors
  • Continuous Queries Executed Per Minute
  • Hinted HandOff Queue Size
  • Anti-Entropy Errors & Jobs

Monitor Kapacitor

Use the Kapacitor Monitor dashboard to monitor Kapacitor in Chronograf.

Download Kapacitor Monitor dashboard

The Kapacitor Monitor dashboard requires the Telegraf mem, cpu, system, and kapacitor input plugins and contains the following cells:

  • Kapacitor Host RAM Usage
  • Kapacitor Host CPU Usage
  • Kapacitor Host Load (1, 5, 15)
  • Number of Subscriptions
  • Number of Running Tasks
  • Data Ingest Rate

InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0: API tokens are hashed by default

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.

View InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0 release notes

Hashed tokens authenticate exactly like unhashed tokens — clients and integrations keep working.

Also new in 2.9.0:

  • Configurable backup compression
  • Restore support for backups containing hashed tokens
  • Tighter Edge Data Replication queue validation
  • Flux upgrade
  • Compaction reliability improvements

Key enhancements in Explorer 1.9

Explorer 1.9 is now available with InfluxQL support, an AI-assisted Flux to SQL converter (beta), and new live sample data simulators.

View Explorer 1.9 release notes

Explorer 1.9 includes new features and improvements that make it easier to query, visualize, and manage data.

Highlights:

  • Flux to SQL converter (beta): Convert Flux queries to SQL with an AI-assisted converter.
  • InfluxQL support: Query data with InfluxQL in the Data Explorer and dashboards, and save and load InfluxQL queries.
  • InfluxQL visualizations: Render line and bar charts from InfluxQL results with per-tag series grouping.
  • Query error history: Review a history of query errors in the query tool.
  • Live sample data simulators: Generate continuous live sample data with new bird data and signal generator simulators.

For more details, see Explorer 1.9 release notes

InfluxDB 3.10 is now available

InfluxDB 3 Core 3.10 adds an automatic catalog format upgrade, a configurable query-concurrency limit, and processing engine improvements.

Key updates in InfluxDB 3 Core 3.10:

  • Catalog format upgrade: the on-disk catalog automatically upgrades from format v2 to v3 on first 3.10 startup. Migration is one-way—back up your catalog before upgrading.
  • --max-concurrent-queries: limit concurrent queries (adjustable at runtime).
  • GET /ready endpoint for readiness probes.
  • Processing engine: cross-database queries and trigger lockdown flags.

For more information, see the InfluxDB 3 Core release notes.

InfluxDB 3.10 is now available

InfluxDB 3 Enterprise 3.10 adds automated backup and restore, row-level deletions, and user management, with an automatic catalog format upgrade and performance preview improvements.

Key updates in InfluxDB 3 Enterprise 3.10:

  • Catalog format upgrade: the on-disk catalog automatically upgrades from format v2 to v3 on first 3.10 startup. Migration is one-way—back up your catalog before upgrading.
  • Automated backup and restore (beta)
  • Row-level deletions
  • User management (authentication and RBAC) — preview
  • Performance preview improvements

Backup and restore, row-level deletions, and the performance preview require the Enterprise storage engine upgrade (opt-in beta). Beta and preview features are subject to breaking changes and aren’t recommended for production use.

For more information, see the InfluxDB 3 Enterprise release notes

Telegraf Enterprise is now generally available

Telegraf Enterprise is now generally available, along with Telegraf Controller v1.0.

Telegraf Enterprise combines Telegraf Controller, a centralized management console for Telegraf, with official support from InfluxData. Manage configurations, monitor fleet health, and operate tens of thousands of Telegraf agents from a single system.

InfluxDB Docker latest tag changing to InfluxDB 3 Core

On September 15, 2026, 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
