Install InfluxDB 3 Explorer
How you install Explorer depends on your InfluxDB 3 server
Starting with InfluxDB 3 Enterprise v3.11, Explorer is included with the server and runs as WebAssembly (WASM)–there’s no separate container to install. For InfluxDB 3 Core, or Enterprise earlier than v3.11, Explorer runs as a standalone Docker container. See Install Explorer to find the instructions for your server.
How you install InfluxDB 3 Explorer depends on the InfluxDB 3 server you’re connecting it to:
- InfluxDB 3 Enterprise v3.11 and later includes Explorer as an integrated WebAssembly (WASM) component–there’s no separate container to install. For setup instructions, see Use the integrated InfluxDB 3 Explorer UI.
- InfluxDB 3 Core, or InfluxDB 3 Enterprise earlier than v3.11, runs Explorer as a standalone Docker container. For installation and configuration instructions, see Install and run InfluxDB 3 Explorer with Docker.
Check which version applies to you
If you already have an InfluxDB 3 server running, check its version and
edition with GET /ping:
curl --get "http://localhost:8181/ping" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer AUTH_TOKEN"The response includes the following version details:
x-influxdb-versionreports the InfluxDB 3 server version.x-influxdb-buildreports whether the server is Core or Enterprise.- The response body includes the version in its
versionfield.
Use GET; a HEAD request to /ping returns 404.
If x-influxdb-build reports Enterprise and x-influxdb-version is 3.11
or later, use the
integrated Explorer UI.
Otherwise, use Docker.
