influxdb-ruby

Ruby client library for InfluxDB.

Install

$ [sudo] gem install influxdb

Or add it to your Gemfile, etc.

Usage

Create a database:

require 'influxdb'

influxdb = InfluxDB::Client.new

influxdb.create_database(database)

Create a user for a database:

require 'influxdb'

influxdb = InfluxDB::Client.new

database = 'site_development'
new_username = 'foo'
new_password = 'bar'
influxdb.create_database_user(database, new_username, new_password)

Update a database user:

require 'influxdb'

influxdb = InfluxDB::Client.new

influxdb.update_database_user(database, username, :password => "new_password")

Write some data:

require 'influxdb'

username = 'foo'
password = 'bar'
database = 'site_development'
name     = 'foobar'

influxdb = InfluxDB::Client.new database, :username => username, :password => password

# Enumerator that emits a sine wave
Value = (0..360).to_a.map {|i| Math.send(:sin, i / 10.0) * 10 }.each

loop do
  data = {
    :value => Value.next
  }

  influxdb.write_point(name, data)

  sleep 1
end

Write data with time precision:

Time precision can be set in 2 ways, either in the client initialization

require 'influxdb'

username = 'foo'
password = 'bar'
database = 'site_development'
name     = 'foobar'
time_precision = 's'

influxdb = InfluxDB::Client.new database, :username => username,
                                          :password => password, 
                                          :time_precision => time_precision

data = {
  :value => 0
  :time => Time.now.to_i
}

influxdb.write_point(name, data)

or in the write call

require 'influxdb'

username = 'foo'
password = 'bar'
database = 'site_development'
name     = 'foobar'
time_precision = 's'

influxdb = InfluxDB::Client.new database, :username => username, :password => password

data = {
  :value => 0
  :time => Time.now.to_i
}

influxdb.write_point(name, data, false, time_precision)

List cluster admins:

require 'influxdb'

influxdb = InfluxDB::Client.new

influxdb.get_cluster_admin_list

List databases:

require 'influxdb'

influxdb = InfluxDB::Client.new

influxdb.get_database_list

List database users:

require 'influxdb'

influxdb = InfluxDB::Client.new

influxdb.get_database_user_list(database)

Delete a database:

require 'influxdb'

influxdb = InfluxDB::Client.new

database = 'site_development'
influxdb.delete_database(database)

Delete a database user:

require 'influxdb'

influxdb = InfluxDB::Client.new

influxdb.delete_database_user(database, username)

Querying:

require 'influxdb'

username = 'foo'
password = 'bar'
database = 'site_development'

influxdb = InfluxDB::Client.new database, :username => username, :password => password

influxdb.query 'select * from time_series_1' do |name, points|
  puts "#{name} => #{points}"
end
