InfluxDB Cloud

Caution

We currently don’t support InfluxDb Cloud connections in the Hawkeye dashboard.

Connecting Hawkeye to your InfluxDB environment allows you to collect telemetry data such as time-series metrics, performance statistics, and event logs from your InfluxDB instances. This connection helps monitor your InfluxDB databases in real-time.

To connect to your InfluxDB environment, follow these steps:

Note

For each step, we’ve created a short demo walkthrough and a step-by-step guide. You can check out the demo for a visual guide to setting up your InfluxDB connection!

Step 1: Create an InfluxDB API Token

To securely connect Hawkeye to InfluxDB, you will need to generate an API token with the necessary permissions.

1. Log in to InfluxDB: Go to the InfluxDB Cloud console and log in to your InfluxDB account.

   

2. Navigate to API Tokens: From the console, go to Load Data > API Tokens.

   

3. Generate an API Token:

   • Click on Generate API Token.

     

   • Select Custom API Token to ensure that Hawkeye can collect data from InfluxDB.

     

   • Give the token a name, grant its permissions, and click Generate.

     

4. Copy the API Token: After creating the token, copy it. You will use this token to connect InfluxDB with Hawkeye.

   

Step 2: Add InfluxDB Connection to Hawkeye

With the API token ready, follow these steps to complete the connection setup in the Hawkeye dashboard.

1. Navigate to the connections tab: On the Hawkeye dashboard, go to the Connections section and click on the New Connection card.

   

2. Select InfluxDB connection: From the list of available connections, choose InfluxDB.

3. Enter credentials:

   • Name: Provide a name for the connection, such as “InfluxDB Integration”.
   • Description: Add a brief description of the connection.
   • API Token: Paste the API token you generated in Step 1.
   • URL: Enter the InfluxDB Cloud instance URL.
   • Organization: Specify the InfluxDB organization name.

4. Save the connection: After verifying all credentials, click the Save button.

5. Confirm connection: Once the connection is established successfully, the InfluxDB connection card will appear on your Hawkeye dashboard.
