InfluxDB can be accessed via port {{ .Values.config.http.bind_address | default 8086 }} on the following DNS name from within your cluster:

  http://{{ include "influxdb.fullname" . }}.{{ .Release.Namespace }}:{{ .Values.config.http.bind_address | default 8086 }}

You can connect to the remote instance with the influx CLI. To forward the API port to localhost:8086, run the following:

  kubectl port-forward --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} $(kubectl get pods --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} -l app={{ include "influxdb.fullname" . }} -o jsonpath='{ .items[0].metadata.name }') 8086:{{ .Values.config.http.bind_address | default 8086 }}

You can also connect to the influx CLI from inside the container. To open a shell session in the InfluxDB pod, run the following:

  kubectl exec -i -t --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} $(kubectl get pods --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} -l app={{ include "influxdb.fullname" . }} -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') /bin/sh

To view the logs for the InfluxDB pod, run the following:

  kubectl logs -f --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} $(kubectl get pods --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} -l app={{ include "influxdb.fullname" . }} -o jsonpath='{ .items[0].metadata.name }')

{{- if .Values.setDefaultUser.enabled }}

To retrieve the default user name:

{{- if .Values.setDefaultUser.user.existingSecret }}

  echo $(kubectl get secret {{ .Values.setDefaultUser.user.existingSecret }} -o "jsonpath={.data['influxdb-user']}" --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} | base64 --decode)

{{- else }}

  echo $(kubectl get secret {{ include "influxdb.fullname" . }}-auth -o "jsonpath={.data['influxdb-user']}" --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} | base64 --decode)

{{- end }}

To retrieve the default user password:

{{- if .Values.setDefaultUser.user.existingSecret }}

  echo $(kubectl get secret {{ .Values.setDefaultUser.user.existingSecret }} -o "jsonpath={.data['influxdb-password']}" --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} | base64 --decode)

{{- else }}

  echo $(kubectl get secret {{ include "influxdb.fullname" . }}-auth -o "jsonpath={.data['influxdb-password']}" --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} | base64 --decode)

{{- end }}
{{- end }}
