InfluxDB Cloud

Connect InfluxDB to collect time-series metrics, performance statistics, and event logs from your InfluxDB instances.

Step 1: Create an InfluxDB API Token

To securely connect NeuBird to InfluxDB, generate an API token with the necessary permissions.

1. Log in to InfluxDB: Go to the InfluxDB Cloud console and log in to your account.

   

2. Navigate to API Tokens: From the console, go to Load Data > API Tokens.

   

3. Generate an API Token:

   • Click on Generate API Token.

     

   • Select Custom API Token to ensure that NeuBird can collect data from InfluxDB.

     

   • Give the token a name, grant its permissions, and click Generate.

     

4. Copy the API Token: After creating the token, copy it. You will use this token when creating the connection.

   

Note: The steps above apply to InfluxDB v2/v3. If you’re connecting to a legacy InfluxDB v1 instance, there is no API Tokens UI to generate a token from — v1 authenticates with a username and password instead. Skip the steps above and use your InfluxDB v1 credentials directly when creating the connection.
