Write data to InfluxDB without coding

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 following options let you write data to InfluxDB without writing any code. Some options require a minimal amount of configuration.

Load data source in UI

Load data from sources in the InfluxDB user interface (UI). Choose from popular client libraries (such as Python, Ruby, Scala, and more!) or load data with a Telegraf plugin (like MQTT Consumer, MySQL, File, and many more!).

Use the Telegraf agent

Use Telegraf to collect and write data to InfluxDB. Create Telegraf configurations in the InfluxDB UI or manually configure Telegraf.

Scrape data using InfluxDB scrapers

Scrape data from InfluxDB instances or remote endpoints using InfluxDB scrapers. Create a scraper in the InfluxDB UI to collect metrics from a specified target.

Write data with no-code third-party technologies

Write data to InfluxDB using third-party technologies that do not require coding.
