InfluxDB v2.0 release notes

v2.0.1 General Availability [2020-11-10]

InfluxDB 2.0 general availability (GA) introduces the first production-ready open source version of InfluxDB 2.0. This release comprises all features and bug fixes included in prior alpha, beta, and release candidate versions.

Known issues

Delete with predicate API not implemented

The delete with predicate API (/api/v2/delete) has not been implemented and currently returns a 501 Not implemented message. This API will be implemented post GA.

Duplicate DBRP mappings per database

When there are multiple DBRP mappings with the same database name in InfluxDB 1.x, SHOW DATABASES incorrectly returns duplicates.

Highlights include:

• Support for upgrading to InfluxDB 2.0:
  • To upgrade from InfluxDB 1.x, see Upgrade from InfluxDB 1.x to InfluxDB 2.0.
  • To upgrade from InfluxDB 2.0 beta 16 or earlier, see Upgrade from InfluxDB 2.0 beta to InfluxDB 2.0.
• Flux, our powerful new functional data scripting language designed for querying, analyzing, and acting on data. This release includes Flux v0.94.0. If you’re new to Flux, check out how to get started with Flux. Next, delve deeper into the Flux standard library reference docs and see how to query with Flux.
• Support for InfluxDB 1.x API compatibility.
• Templates and stacks. Discover how to use community templates and how to manage templates with stacks.

If you’re new to InfluxDB 2.0, we recommend checking out how to get started and InfluxDB key concepts.

v2.0.0 [2020-11-09]

Features

• Improve UI for v1 influx auth commands.
• Upgrade to Flux v0.94.0
• Upgrade flux-lsp-browser to v0.5.22.
• Add RAS Telegraf input plugin.

Bug Fixes

• Remove unused security-script option from influx upgrade command.
• Fix parsing of retention policy CLI arguments in influx setup and influxd upgrade.
• Create CLI configs during upgrade to v2.
• Allow write-only v1 tokens to find database retention policies (DBRPs).
• Update v1 auth description.

v2.0.0-rc.0 [2020-09-29]

Manual upgrade required

To simplify the migration for existing users of InfluxDB 1.x, this release includes significant breaking changes that require a manual upgrade from all alpha and beta versions. For more information, see Upgrade to InfluxDB OSS 2.0rc,

Breaking changes

Manual upgrade

• To continue using data from InfluxDB 2.0 beta 16 or earlier, you must move all existing data out of the ~/.influxdbv2 (or equivalent) path, including influxd.bolt. All existing dashboards, tasks, integrations, alerts, users, and tokens must be recreated. For information on how to migrate your data, see Upgrade to InfluxDB OSS 2.0rc.

Port update to 8086

• Change the default port of InfluxDB from 9999 back to 8086. If you would still like to run on port 9999, you can start influxd with the --http-bind-address option. You must also update any InfluxDB CLI configuration profiles with the new port number.
