The vsflux extension is no longer available in the Visual Studio Marketplace. vsflux and the flux-lsp Flux Language Server Protocol plugin are no longer maintained. Their repositories have been archived and are no longer receiving updates.

Telegraf configurations

InfluxDB OSS lets you automatically generate Telegraf configurations or upload custom Telegraf configurations that collect metrics and write them to InfluxDB OSS.

Notebooks

Use notebooks to build and annotate processes and data flows for time series data.

InfluxDB templates

InfluxDB templates are prepackaged InfluxDB configurations that contain everything from dashboards and Telegraf configurations to notifications and alerts.

Install and use the influx CLI

Use the influx and influxd command line interfaces to interact with and manage InfluxDB.

Use the Interactive Flux REPL
