Administer InfluxDB 3 Enterprise
The following articles provide information about managing your InfluxDB 3 Enterprise resources:
Identify InfluxDB 3 Enterprise version
Learn how to identify your InfluxDB 3 Enterprise version using command-line tools, HTTP endpoints, and other methods.
Configure specialized cluster nodes
Learn how to configure specialized nodes in your InfluxDB 3 Enterprise cluster for ingest, query, compaction, and processing workloads with optimal thread allocation.
Manage your InfluxDB 3 Enterprise license
InfluxDB 3 Enterprise licenses authorize the use of the InfluxDB 3 Enterprise software. Learn how licenses work, how to activate and renew licenses, and more.
Manage tables
Tables in InfluxDB 3 Enterprise are synonymous with measurements and contain time series data. Each table has a defined schema with tag and field columns.
Run the Processing Engine in a cluster
Configure, start, and troubleshoot Processing Engine plugins in a multi-node InfluxDB 3 Enterprise cluster — including how triggers fan out across nodes, how to pin triggers, and how to recognize common misconfiguration errors.
Manage databases
An InfluxDB 3 Enterprise database is a named location where time series data is stored. Each database can contain multiple tables.
Manage tokens
Manage tokens to authenticate and authorize access to server actions, resources, and data in an InfluxDB 3 Enterprise instance.
Manage the Last Value Cache
The InfluxDB 3 Enterprise Last Value Cache (LVC) lets you cache the most recent values for specific fields in a table, improving the performance of queries that return the most recent value of a field for specific time series or the last N values of a field.
Delete data
Delete rows from InfluxDB 3 Enterprise by time range and tag predicate using the influxdb3 delete rows command. Deletes are asynchronous and applied by the compactor.
Manage the Distinct Value Cache
The InfluxDB 3 Enterprise Distinct Value Cache (DVC) lets you cache distinct values of one or more columns in a table, improving the performance of queries that return distinct tag and field values.
Import data
Bulk import your existing Parquet files into a database and table in InfluxDB 3 Enterprise using the influxdb3 import upload command, and map columns to InfluxDB types. Imported data is stored in your object storage.
Manage file indexes
Customize the indexing strategy of a database or table in InfluxDB 3 Enterprise to optimize the performance of single-series queries.
Configure object storage
Configure InfluxDB 3 Enterprise to connect to and use different object storage providers.
Query system data
Query system tables to see data related to the server, queries, and tables in an InfluxDB 3 Enterprise instance. Use the HTTP SQL query API to retrieve information about your database server and table schemas.
Back up and restore data
Back up and restore your InfluxDB 3 Enterprise cluster by copying object storage files in the recommended order for each node type.
Performance tuning
Optimize InfluxDB 3 Enterprise performance by tuning thread allocation, memory settings, and other configuration options for your specific workload.
Security
Secure InfluxDB 3 Enterprise: authenticate clients with tokens, enable multi-user authentication and role-based access control (RBAC), and harden the host.
Upgrade from InfluxDB 3 Core
Upgrade from InfluxDB 3 Core to InfluxDB 3 Enterprise. Your existing data and plugins are compatible–no data migration is required.
Upgrade InfluxDB 3 Enterprise
Learn how to upgrade your InfluxDB 3 Enterprise cluster across multiple versions, including rolling upgrades, catalog version constraints, and recommended upgrade order for different node modes.
Use the InfluxDB 3 MCP server
Use the InfluxDB Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to interact with and manage InfluxDB 3 Enterprise using natural language with LLM agents to query and analyze data, manage databases and more. Query InfluxDB 3 Enterprise documentation from your IDE using the InfluxDB documentation Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
Capture workload data
Capture a time-limited, anonymized profile of write and query requests in InfluxDB 3 Enterprise.
