influxdb-client-csharp

This repository contains the reference C# client for the InfluxDB 2.x.

Note: Use this client library with InfluxDB 2.x and InfluxDB 1.8+ (). For connecting to InfluxDB 1.7 or earlier instances, use the influxdb-csharp client library.

This section contains links to the client library documentation.

  • Supports querying using the Flux language over the InfluxDB 1.7+ REST API ()
  • InfluxDB 2.x client
    • Querying data using the Flux language
    • Writing data using
    • InfluxDB 2.x Management API client for managing
      • sources, buckets
      • tasks
      • authorizations
      • health check

The following example demonstrates how to write data to InfluxDB 2.x and read them back using the Flux language:

Installation

.Net CLI
Or when using Package Manager
  1. Install-Package InfluxDB.Client
  1. using System;
  2. using InfluxDB.Client;
  3. using InfluxDB.Client.Api.Domain;
  4. using InfluxDB.Client.Core;
  5. using InfluxDB.Client.Writes;
  6. using Task = System.Threading.Tasks.Task;
  7. namespace Examples
  8. {
  9. public static class QueriesWritesExample
  10. {
  11. private static readonly char[] Token = "".ToCharArray();
  12. public static async Task Main(string[] args)
  13. {
  14. var influxDBClient = InfluxDBClientFactory.Create("http://localhost:8086", Token);
  15. //
  16. // Write Data
  17. //
  18. using (var writeApi = influxDBClient.GetWriteApi())
  19. {
  20. // Write by Point
  21. //
  22. var point = PointData.Measurement("temperature")
  23. .Tag("location", "west")
  24. .Field("value", 55D)
  25. .Timestamp(DateTime.UtcNow.AddSeconds(-10), WritePrecision.Ns);
  26. writeApi.WritePoint("bucket_name", "org_id", point);
  27. //
  28. // Write by LineProtocol
  29. //
  30. writeApi.WriteRecord("bucket_name", "org_id", WritePrecision.Ns, "temperature,location=north value=60.0");
  31. //
  32. // Write by POCO
  33. //
  34. var temperature = new Temperature {Location = "south", Value = 62D, Time = DateTime.UtcNow};
  35. writeApi.WriteMeasurement("bucket_name", "org_id", WritePrecision.Ns, temperature);
  36. }
  37. //
  38. // Query data
  39. //
  40. var flux = "from(bucket:\"temperature-sensors\") |> range(start: 0)";
  41. var fluxTables = await influxDBClient.GetQueryApi().QueryAsync(flux, "org_id");
  42. fluxTables.ForEach(fluxTable =>
  43. {
  44. fluxRecords.ForEach(fluxRecord =>
  45. {
  46. Console.WriteLine($"{fluxRecord.GetTime()}: {fluxRecord.GetValue()}");
  47. });
  48. });
  49. influxDBClient.Dispose();
  50. }
  51. [Measurement("temperature")]
  52. private class Temperature
  53. {
  54. [Column("location", IsTag = true)] public string Location { get; set; }
  55. [Column("value")] public double Value { get; set; }
  56. [Column(IsTimestamp = true)] public DateTime Time;
  57. }
  58. }
  59. }

The following example demonstrates how to use a InfluxDB 2.x Management API. For further information see client documentation.

Installation

Use the latest version:

.Net CLI
Or when using Package Manager
  1. Install-Package InfluxDB.Client
  1. using System;
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;
  3. using System.Linq;
  4. using InfluxDB.Client;
  5. using InfluxDB.Client.Api.Domain;
  6. using Task = System.Threading.Tasks.Task;
  7. namespace Examples
  8. {
  9. public static class ManagementExample
  10. {
  11. public static async Task Main(string[] args)
  12. {
  13. const string url = "http://localhost:8086";
  14. const string token = "my-token";
  15. const string org = "my-org";
  16. using var client = InfluxDBClientFactory.Create(url, token);
  17. // Find ID of Organization with specified name (PermissionAPI requires ID of Organization).
  18. var orgId = (await client.GetOrganizationsApi().FindOrganizationsAsync(org: org)).First().Id;
  19. //
  20. // Create bucket "iot_bucket" with data retention set to 3,600 seconds
  21. //
  22. var retention = new BucketRetentionRules(BucketRetentionRules.TypeEnum.Expire, 3600);
  23. var bucket = await client.GetBucketsApi().CreateBucketAsync("iot_bucket", retention, orgId);
  24. //
  25. // Create access token to "iot_bucket"
  26. //
  27. orgId);
  28. // Read permission
  29. var read = new Permission(Permission.ActionEnum.Read, resource);
  30. // Write permission
  31. var write = new Permission(Permission.ActionEnum.Write, resource);
  32. var authorization = await client.GetAuthorizationsApi()
  33. .CreateAuthorizationAsync(orgId, new List<Permission> { read, write });
  34. //
  35. // Created token that can be use for writes to "iot_bucket"
  36. //
  37. Console.WriteLine($"Authorized token to write into iot_bucket: {authorization.Token}");
  38. }
  39. }
  40. }

for InfluxDB 2.x. This allow you to easily move from InfluxDB 1.x to InfluxDB 2.x Cloud or open source.

APIEndpointDescription
QueryApi.csQuery data in InfluxDB 1.8.0+ using the InfluxDB 2.x API and Flux (endpoint should be enabled by )
WriteApi.csWrite data to InfluxDB 1.8.0+ using the InfluxDB 2.x API
PingAsyncChecks the status of InfluxDB instance and version of InfluxDB.

For detail info see InfluxDB 1.8 example.

The following example demonstrates querying using the Flux language.

Installation

Use the latest version:

.Net CLI
Or when using Package Manager
  1. Install-Package InfluxDB.Client.Flux
  1. using System;
  2. using InfluxDB.Client.Flux;
  3. namespace Examples
  4. {
  5. public static class FluxExample
  6. {
  7. public static void Run()
  8. {
  9. using var fluxClient = FluxClientFactory.Create("http://localhost:8086/");
  10. var fluxQuery = "from(bucket: \"telegraf\")\n"
  11. + " |> filter(fn: (r) => (r[\"_measurement\"] == \"cpu\" AND r[\"_field\"] == \"usage_system\"))"
  12. + " |> range(start: -1d)"
  13. + " |> sample(n: 5, pos: 1)";
  14. fluxClient.QueryAsync(fluxQuery, record =>
  15. {
  16. // process the flux query records
  17. Console.WriteLine(record.GetTime() + ": " + record.GetValue());
  18. },
  19. (error) =>
  20. {
  21. // error handling while processing result
  22. Console.WriteLine(error.ToString());
  23. }, () =>
  24. {
  25. // on complete
  26. Console.WriteLine("Query completed");
  27. }).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
  28. }
  29. }
