What is InfluxDb?

Influxdb is a time series database, and part of the tickstack. After installation on Senate, it will be available as <service_name> at the port you choose (8086 by default) to other Senate apps. Enter your Influxdb configuration parameters and click on next. The default configuration has no users or authentication and is only accessible to other Senate apps. It will take about a minute for the process to finish.
