influx

Influx is a command line tool for interacting with InfluxDB, an open-source time series database. It allows users to manage and query the database from the command line interface. With Influx, users can create databases, manage retention policies, and define measurement schemas. It provides various commands for querying data, such as SELECT, SHOW, and DESCRIBE, allowing users to retrieve specific data based on their requirements. Influx allows users to insert, update, and delete data points in the database using the INSERT and DELETE commands. It also supports creating continuous queries, which can be used to create and aggregate data from existing measurements. Influx provides authentication options to secure the database access, including username/password authentication, SSL/TLS, and token-based authentication. It supports importing and exporting data in various formats, such as CSV, JSON, and InfluxDB Line Protocol. Influx provides a REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) interface, which allows users to interactively enter commands and receive immediate feedback. It supports scripting and automation through the use of scripts, allowing users to execute a sequence of Influx commands in a batch.
