How it connects
What you need
- API tokenSent as a bearer token. InfluxDB 3 needs it on /health; InfluxDB 2 does not.
No account needed.
Network ports to open
8086/TCPInfluxDB 2 API (default port)8181/TCPOnly for InfluxDB 3, whose default port is 8181
Setup steps: Let DumbMonit read InfluxDB's health
InfluxDB 2: nothing to create, /health, /ready and /metrics are open. Leave the credential on No authentication.
InfluxDB 3 asks for a token on /health and /metrics by default: paste a token as API token, or start the server with --disable-authz health,ping,metrics.
In DumbMonit, enter the server address, for example influx.lan, with the port 8086 for InfluxDB 2 or 8181 for InfluxDB 3.
Tick HTTPS if the server, or the reverse proxy in front of it, serves TLS.
Heads-up. InfluxDB 3 answers 401 on /health without a token unless it runs with --disable-authz. The token is only used to read health and metrics.
