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

Telegraf Controller 1.1 now available

Telegraf Controller 1.1 adds high availability (Telegraf Enterprise), global constants, configuration groups, configuration aliases, and configuration versioning.
