What is InfluxDb2?
Influxdb2 is a time series database, and part of the tickstack. After installation on Senate, it will be available as <service_name> 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.
