influxdb-java

This is the Java Client library which is only compatible with InfluxDB 0.9 and higher. Maintained by @majst01.

To connect to InfluxDB 0.8.x you need to use influxdb-java version 1.6.

This implementation is meant as a Java rewrite of the influxdb-go package. All low level REST Api calls are available.

Usages

Basic Usages:

InfluxDB influxDB = InfluxDBFactory.connect("http://172.17.0.2:8086", "root", "root");
String dbName = "aTimeSeries";
influxDB.createDatabase(dbName);

BatchPoints batchPoints = BatchPoints
				.database(dbName)
				.tag("async", "true")
				.retentionPolicy("autogen")
				.consistency(ConsistencyLevel.ALL)
				.build();
Point point1 = Point.measurement("cpu")
					.time(System.currentTimeMillis(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
					.addField("idle", 90L)
					.addField("user", 9L)
					.addField("system", 1L)
					.build();
Point point2 = Point.measurement("disk")
					.time(System.currentTimeMillis(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
					.addField("used", 80L)
					.addField("free", 1L)
					.build();
batchPoints.point(point1);
batchPoints.point(point2);
influxDB.write(batchPoints);
Query query = new Query("SELECT idle FROM cpu", dbName);
influxDB.query(query);
influxDB.deleteDatabase(dbName);

Note : If you are using influxdb < 1.0.0, you should use 'default' instead of 'autogen'

If your application produces only single Points, you can enable the batching functionality of influxdb-java:

InfluxDB influxDB = InfluxDBFactory.connect("http://172.17.0.2:8086", "root", "root");
String dbName = "aTimeSeries";
influxDB.createDatabase(dbName);

// Flush every 2000 Points, at least every 100ms
influxDB.enableBatch(2000, 100, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

Point point1 = Point.measurement("cpu")
					.time(System.currentTimeMillis(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
					.addField("idle", 90L)
					.addField("user", 9L)
					.addField("system", 1L)
					.build();
Point point2 = Point.measurement("disk")
					.time(System.currentTimeMillis(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
					.addField("used", 80L)
					.addField("free", 1L)
					.build();

influxDB.write(dbName, "autogen", point1);
influxDB.write(dbName, "autogen", point2);
Query query = new Query("SELECT idle FROM cpu", dbName);
influxDB.query(query);
influxDB.deleteDatabase(dbName);

Note that the batching functionality creates an internal thread pool that needs to be shutdown explicitly as part of a gracefull application shut-down, or the application will not shut down properly. To do so simply call: influxDB.close()

Advanced Usages:

Gzip's support (version 2.5+ required):

influxdb-java client doesn't enable gzip compress for http request body by default. If you want to enable gzip to reduce transfer data's size , you can call:

influxDB.enableGzip()

UDP's support (version 2.5+ required):

influxdb-java client support udp protocol now. you can call followed methods directly to write through UDP.

public void write(final int udpPort, final String records);
public void write(final int udpPort, final List<String> records);
public void write(final int udpPort, final Point point);

note: make sure write content's total size should not > UDP protocol's limit(64K), or you should use http instead of udp.

chunking support (version 2.6+ required, unreleased):

influxdb-java client now supports influxdb chunking. The following example uses a chunkSize of 20 and invokes the specified Consumer (e.g. System.out.println) for each received QueryResult

Query query = new Query("SELECT idle FROM cpu", dbName);
influxDB.query(query, 20, queryResult -> System.out.println(queryResult));

Version

The latest version for maven dependence:

  <version>2.5</version>
</dependency>

Build Requirements

• Java 1.7+
• Maven 3.0+
• Docker daemon running

Then you can build influxdb-java with all tests with:

$ mvn clean install

If you don't have Docker running locally, you can skip tests with -DskipTests flag set to true:

$ mvn clean install -DskipTests=true

If you have Docker running, but it is not at localhost (e.g. you are on a Mac and using docker-machine) you can set an optional environment variable INFLUXDB_IP to point to the correct IP address:

$ export INFLUXDB_IP=192.168.99.100
$ mvn test

For convenience we provide a small shell script which starts a influxdb server locally and executes mvn clean install with all tests inside docker containers.

$ ./compile-and-test.sh
