InfluxDB学习(一)：基本概念和安装

一. InfluxDB数据库介绍

InfluxDB是Influxdata旗下开源的一种时序数据库(Time Series Database)，根据DB-engine排名，目前在time series数据库领域排名第一位。

 InfluxDB主要功能

1. 对时序数据(sereis data)使用TSM存储引擎，提供高性能的数据写入和压缩功能。
2. go语言编写，程序只有一个二进制的可执行文件，没有其他依关系。
3. 通过http API可提供高性能的便捷的读写操作。
4. 插件支持采集Graphite, collectd, and OpenTSDB等数据源。
5. 提供类似SQL语法格式的数据操作。
6. 保留策略(retention policies)功能可以定期清除老旧数据。
7. 不间断(continuous queries)自动化查询功能统计聚合数据来使数据查询更有效率。

缺点：

1. 社区版只支持单机部署，集群功能需要使用收费的企业版。
2. InfluxDB中文学习文档较少，对于想要了解该数据库的用户有一定的不便。

二. InfluxDB数据库安装

# mkdir /usr/local/influxdb
# groupadd -r dba
# useradd -r -g dba tnuser
# chown -R tnuser.dba /usr/local/influxdb
# sudo su - tnuser
$ cd /usr/local/influxdb
$ wget https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/releases/influxdb-1.8.0-static_linux_amd64.tar.gz
$ tar -zxf influxdb-1.8.0-static_linux_amd64.tar.gz
$ mv influxdb-1.8.0-1/* .
$ rm -rf influxdb-1.8.0*

修改InfluxDB数据库配置文件,模板文件在数据库安装路径下的etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf

reporting-disabled = true
bind-address = "0.0.0.0:8088"
[meta]
  dir = "/usr/local/influxdb/meta"
  retention-autocreate = true
[data]
  dir = "/usr/local/influxdb/data"
  wal-dir = "/usr/local/influxdb/wal"

使用CentOS7的systemctl管理InfluxDB服务
