View audit logs

Use the Telegraf Controller API to query and read audit entries.

Prerequisites

  • Audit logging must be enabled.
  • The Owner or Administrator role assigned to your account.
  • An API token issued to a user with one of those roles. See Create an API token.

Query the audit log API

Send GET requests to /api/audit-logger. The endpoint accepts the following query parameters:

ParameterDescriptionDefault
fromEarliest event timestamp to return, as ISO 8601Unbounded
toLatest event timestamp to return, as ISO 8601Unbounded
pagePage number for paginated results1
limitMaximum number of entries returned per page9999
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer 
YOUR_TC_API_TOKEN
"
\
"https://telegraf_controller.example.com/api/audit-logger?from=2026-05-01T00:00:00Z&to=2026-05-31T23:59:59Z&page=1&limit=500"

Replace YOUR_TC_API_TOKEN with a Telegraf Controller API token issued to an Owner or Administrator.

Response shape

The response is a JSON array. Each entry includes the event, the actor, the outcome, and the tamper-detection hash chain fields.

[
  {
    "seq": 4827,
    "timestamp": "2026-05-27T18:42:11.512Z",
    "action": "user.login",
    "actorId": "01HZ8R5T4VX9YQK0M2N3P4Q5R6",
    "actorType": "User",
    "ipAddress": "10.0.4.17",
    "userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0 ...",
    "outcome": "Success",
    "hash": "f7c1...",
    "prevHash": "a309..."
  }
]

actorType is one of User, Token, or System. For the categories of events captured, see What gets audited.

Verify integrity

The hash and prevHash fields form a SHA-256 chain across all entries. To detect tampering, walk the result set in seq order and check that:

  1. Each entry’s prevHash equals the previous entry’s hash.
  2. seq numbers are contiguous within and across monthly files.

If either check fails, an entry has been altered, removed, or inserted out of order. For background on how the chain is constructed, see Tamper detection.

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
