A easy-use client to influxdb

Overview

This is an InfluxDB driver for Rust.

Status

This project has been able to run properly, PR is welcome.

Usage

Use

[dependencies]
influx_db_client = "^0.7.0"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["rt-multi-thread"] }

http

use influx_db_client::{Client, Point, Points, Precision, point, points};

fn main() {
    // default with "http://127.0.0.1:8086", db with "test"
    let client = Client::default().set_authentication("root", "root");

    let point = point!("test1")
        .add_field("foo", "bar")
        .add_field("integer", 11)
        .add_field("float", 22.3)
        .add_field("'boolean'", false);

    let point1 = Point::new("test1")
        .add_tag("tags", "\\\"fda")
        .add_tag("number", 12)
        .add_tag("float", 12.6)
        .add_field("fd", "'3'")
        .add_field("quto", "\\\"fda")
        .add_field("quto1", "\"fda");

    let points = points!(point1, point);

    tokio::runtime::Runtime::new().unwrap().block_on(async move {
        // if Precision is None, the default is nanosecond
        // Multiple write
        client.write_points(points, Some(Precision::Seconds), None).await.unwrap();

        // query, it's type is Option<Vec<Node>>
        let res = client.query("select * from test1", None).await.unwrap();
        println!("{:?}", res.unwrap()[0].series)
    });
}

Client defaults to reqwest::Client when the default reqwest feature is enabled, but it is generic over the HTTP implementation. If you need a custom transport, implement the transport traits for the APIs you want to support, then create it with Client::new_with_client(...). Borrowing APIs such as ping_borrow, get_version_borrow, query_borrow, query_chunked_borrow, write_point_borrow, write_points_borrow, and the corresponding query-backed *_borrow management APIs require BorrowHttpClient and BorrowHttpResponse. Borrowed chunked queries also require BorrowChunkedHttpResponse. Spawn-safe APIs such as ping, get_version, query, query_chunked, write_point, write_points, and the query-backed management commands require HttpClient and HttpResponse. Spawn-safe chunked queries also require ChunkedHttpResponse. You can implement borrowed-only, spawn-safe-only, or both modes on the same transport type. Borrowing APIs use borrowed HttpRequest data, while spawnable query/write APIs receive owned HttpRequest<'static> values. Chunked responses now expose an async byte stream rather than a blocking reader.

query_chunked is an incompatible API change in this release: it now returns an async stream instead of a synchronous iterator. Add futures = "0.3" if you want to consume it with StreamExt::next:

use futures::StreamExt;
use influx_db_client::{Client, Query};

# #[cfg(feature = "reqwest")] {
# tokio::runtime::Runtime::new().unwrap().block_on(async move {
let client = Client::default();
let mut stream = client.query_chunked("select * from test1", None).await.unwrap();

while let Some(result) = stream.next().await {
    let query: Query = result.unwrap();
    println!("{:?}", query.results);
}
# });
# }

To avoid compiling reqwest, disable default features and provide your own HTTP client:

[dependencies]
influx_db_client = { version = "^0.7.0", default-features = false }

The crate's default reqwest/default-tls path currently resolves to a rustls-based backend. This is an incompatible feature-name update: the previous rustls-tls* feature names were removed.

To build the default reqwest transport with the native-tls backend, disable default features and enable one of the native-tls* features explicitly. On Linux that typically means OpenSSL; on macOS and Windows it uses the platform TLS stack:

[dependencies]
influx_db_client = { version = "^0.7.0", default-features = false, features = ["native-tls"] }

udp

use influx_db_client::{Point, UdpClient, point};

fn main() {
    let mut udp = UdpClient::new("127.0.0.1:8089".parse().unwrap());
    udp.add_host("127.0.0.1:8090".parse().unwrap());

    let point = point!("test").add_field("foo", "bar");

    udp.write_point(point).unwrap();
}

Compatibility

This is the API Document, it may apply to version 1.0 or higher.

I have tested it in version 1.0.2/1.3.5/1.5.

Thanks

Because influent seems to have no longer updated, and only support to the 0.9 version. I read influent.rs and influxdb-python source, and then try to write a library for 1.0+ version for support for my own use.
