InfluxDB binding spec

Detailed documentation on the InfluxDB binding component

Component format

To setup InfluxDB binding create a component of type bindings.influx. See this guide on how to create and apply a binding configuration.

apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: <NAME>
spec:
  type: bindings.influx
  version: v1
  metadata:
  - name: url # Required
    value: <INFLUX-DB-URL>
  - name: token # Required
    value: <TOKEN>
  - name: org # Required
    value: <ORG>
  - name: bucket # Required
    value: <BUCKET>

Warning

The above example uses secrets as plain strings. It is recommended to use a secret store for the secrets as described here.

Spec metadata fields

Binding support

This component supports output binding with the following operations:

• create
• query

Query

In order to query InfluxDB, use a query operation along with a raw key in the call’s metadata, with the query as the value:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3500/v1.0/bindings/myInfluxBinding \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{
        \"metadata\": {
          \"raw\": "SELECT * FROM 'sith_lords'"
        },
        \"operation\": \"query\"
      }"
