Visualize data with the InfluxDB UI

API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade.

For more information, see Token hashing.

The InfluxDB user interface (UI) provides tools for building custom dashboards to visualize your data. The following articles outline ways to customize and manage dashboards.

The InfluxDB UI is packaged with InfluxDB and runs as part of the InfluxDB server. To access the UI, start the influxd service and visit http://localhost:8086 in your web browser.

Manage InfluxDB dashboards

Create, edit, and manage custom dashboards in the InfluxDB user interface (UI).

Use and manage variables

Dashboard variables allow you to alter specific components of cells’ queries without having to edit the queries, making it easy to interact with your dashboard cells and explore your data.

Manage labels in the InfluxDB UI

Labels are a way to add visual metadata to dashboards, tasks, and other items in the InfluxDB UI. View and manage labels in the InfluxDB user interface.

Use annotations in dashboards

Add annotations to your InfluxDB dashboards to provide useful, contextual information about single points in time.

Visualization types

The InfluxDB UI provides multiple visualization types to visualize your data in a format that makes the most sense for your use case. Use the available customization options to customize each visualization.
