- boost 1.57+ (optional – see Transports)
mkdir build && cd build

sudo make installThe InfluxDB library is exported as target InfluxData::InfluxDB.
project(example)
find_package(InfluxDB)
add_executable(example-influx main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(example-influx PRIVATE InfluxData::InfluxDB)This target is also provided when the project is included as a subdirectory.
project(example)
add_subdirectory(influxdb-cxx)
add_executable(example-influx main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(example-influx PRIVATE InfluxData::InfluxDB)// Provide complete URI
auto influxdb = influxdb::InfluxDBFactory::Get("http://localhost:8086?db=test");
influxdb->write(influxdb::Point{"test"}
.addField("value", 10)
.addTag("host", "localhost")
);auto influxdb = influxdb::InfluxDBFactory::Get("http://localhost:8086?db=test");
// Write batches of 100 points
influxdb->batchOf(100);
for (;;) {
influxdb->write(influxdb::Point{"test"}.addField("value", 10));
}When batch write is enabled, call flushBatch() to flush pending batches.
This is of particular importance to ensure all points are written prior to destruction.
auto influxdb = influxdb::InfluxDBFactory::Get("http://localhost:8086?db=test");
influxdb->batchOf(3);
influxdb->write(influxdb::Point{"test"}.addField("value", 1));
influxdb->write(influxdb::Point{"test"}.addField("value", 2));
// Flush batches, both points are written
influxdb->flushBatch();// Available over HTTP only
auto influxdb = influxdb::InfluxDBFactory::Get("http://localhost:8086?db=test");
/// Pass an IFQL to get list of points
std::vector<influxdb::Point> points = influxdb->query("SELECT * FROM test");auto influxdb = influxdb::InfluxDBFactory::Get("http://localhost:8086?db=test");
// Execute a command and receive it's response
const auto response = influxdb->execute("SHOW DATABASES");An underlying transport is fully configurable by passing an URI:
[protocol]://[username:password@]host:port[?db=database]
List of supported transport is following:
| Name | Dependency | URI protocol | Sample URI |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTTP | cURLi) | http/https |
http://localhost:8086?db=<db> |
| UDP | boost | udp |
udp://localhost:8094 |
| Unix socket | boost | unix |
unix:///tmp/telegraf.sock |
i) boost is needed to support queries.
