Introduction

InfluxDB is a high-performance time-series database optimized for handling metrics and events. Integrating InfluxDB with Spring Boot enables applications to store and query time-series data efficiently. This guide explains how to configure and use InfluxDB in a Spring Boot application with practical examples.

Setting Up InfluxDB with Spring Boot

1. Add Dependencies

To integrate InfluxDB with Spring Boot, include the InfluxDB Java client library in your pom.xml:

Maven Dependency

Gradle Dependency

2. Configure InfluxDB in application.properties

Add the connection details for your InfluxDB instance:

3. Create InfluxDB Configuration Class

Use the InfluxDBClient to establish a connection with InfluxDB.

Configuration Class

Practical Examples

Example 1: Writing Data to InfluxDB

Use the InfluxDBClient to write data points to InfluxDB.

Service to Write Data

Usage

Example 2: Querying Data from InfluxDB

Fetch data using the Flux query language.

Service to Query Data

Usage

Example 3: Using Spring Boot with InfluxDB for Monitoring

Monitor application performance metrics by writing key performance indicators (KPIs) to InfluxDB.

Scheduled Writing of Metrics

Conclusion

Integrating Spring Boot with InfluxDB enables efficient management of time-series data. By leveraging the InfluxDB Java client, you can write and query data seamlessly. The provided examples demonstrate how to set up the connection, write metrics, and query data for analytics, making it easier to build applications that rely on time-series data.
