InfluxDB 2.0 Python client library

Project description

CircleCI codecov CI status PyPI package Anaconda.org package Supported Python versions Documentation status Slack Status

This repository contains the Python client library for the InfluxDB 2.0.

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-python client library. The API of the influxdb-client-python is not the backwards-compatible with the old one - influxdb-python.

Documentation

This section contains links to the client library documentation.

InfluxDB 2.0 client features

Installation

InfluxDB python library uses RxPY - The Reactive Extensions for Python (RxPY).

Python 3.6 or later is required.

pip install

The python package is hosted on PyPI, you can install latest version directly:

pip install 'influxdb-client[ciso]'

Then import the package:

import influxdb_client

Setuptools

Install via Setuptools.

python setup.py install --user

(or sudo python setup.py install to install the package for all users)

Getting Started

Please follow the Installation and then run the following:

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient, Point
from influxdb_client.client.write_api import SYNCHRONOUS

bucket = "my-bucket"

client = InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token", org="my-org")

write_api = client.write_api(write_options=SYNCHRONOUS)
query_api = client.query_api()

p = Point("my_measurement").tag("location", "Prague").field("temperature", 25.3)

write_api.write(bucket=bucket, record=p)

## using Table structure
tables = query_api.query('from(bucket:"my-bucket") |> range(start: -10m)')

for table in tables:
    print(table)
    for row in table.records:
        print (row.values)


## using csv library
csv_result = query_api.query_csv('from(bucket:"my-bucket") |> range(start: -10m)')
val_count = 0
for row in csv_result:
    for cell in row:
        val_count += 1

Client configuration

Via File

A client can be configured via *.ini file in segment influx2.

The following options are supported:

  • url - the url to connect to InfluxDB

  • org - default destination organization for writes and queries

  • token - the token to use for the authorization

  • timeout - socket timeout in ms (default value is 10000)

  • verify_ssl - set this to false to skip verifying SSL certificate when calling API from https server

  • ssl_ca_cert - set this to customize the certificate file to verify the peer

  • connection_pool_maxsize - set the number of connections to save that can be reused by urllib3

  • auth_basic - enable http basic authentication when talking to a InfluxDB 1.8.x without authentication but is accessed via reverse proxy with basic authentication (defaults to false)

  • profilers - set the list of enabled Flux profilers

self.client = InfluxDBClient.from_config_file("config.ini")
[influx2]
url=http://localhost:8086
org=my-org
token=my-token
timeout=6000
verify_ssl=False

Via Environment Properties

A client can be configured via environment properties.

Supported properties are:

  • INFLUXDB_V2_URL - the url to connect to InfluxDB

  • INFLUXDB_V2_ORG - default destination organization for writes and queries

  • INFLUXDB_V2_TOKEN - the token to use for the authorization

  • INFLUXDB_V2_TIMEOUT - socket timeout in ms (default value is 10000)

  • INFLUXDB_V2_VERIFY_SSL - set this to false to skip verifying SSL certificate when calling API from https server

  • INFLUXDB_V2_SSL_CA_CERT - set this to customize the certificate file to verify the peer

  • INFLUXDB_V2_CONNECTION_POOL_MAXSIZE - set the number of connections to save that can be reused by urllib3

  • INFLUXDB_V2_AUTH_BASIC - enable http basic authentication when talking to a InfluxDB 1.8.x without authentication but is accessed via reverse proxy with basic authentication (defaults to false)

  • INFLUXDB_V2_PROFILERS - set the list of enabled Flux profilers

self.client = InfluxDBClient.from_env_properties()

Profile query

The Flux Profiler package provides performance profiling tools for Flux queries and operations.

You can enable printing profiler information of the Flux query in client library by:

  • set QueryOptions.profilers in QueryApi,

  • set INFLUXDB_V2_PROFILERS environment variable,

  • set profilers option in configuration file.

When the profiler is enabled, the result of flux query contains additional tables “profiler/*”. In order to have consistent behaviour with enabled/disabled profiler, FluxCSVParser excludes “profiler/*” measurements from result.

Example how to enable profilers using API:

q = '''
    from(bucket: stringParam)
      |> range(start: -5m, stop: now())
      |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "mem")
      |> filter(fn: (r) => r._field == "available" or r._field == "free" or r._field == "used")
      |> aggregateWindow(every: 1m, fn: mean)
      |> pivot(rowKey:["_time"], columnKey: ["_field"], valueColumn: "_value")
'''
p = {
    "stringParam": "my-bucket",
}

query_api = client.query_api(query_options=QueryOptions(profilers=["query", "operator"]))
csv_result = query_api.query(query=q, params=p)

Example of a profiler output:

===============
Profiler: query
===============

from(bucket: stringParam)
  |> range(start: -5m, stop: now())
  |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "mem")
  |> filter(fn: (r) => r._field == "available" or r._field == "free" or r._field == "used")
  |> aggregateWindow(every: 1m, fn: mean)
  |> pivot(rowKey:["_time"], columnKey: ["_field"], valueColumn: "_value")

You can also use callback function to get profilers output. Return value of this callback is type of FluxRecord.

Example how to use profilers with callback:

 class ProfilersCallback(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.records = []

    def __call__(self, flux_record):
        self.records.append(flux_record.values)

callback = ProfilersCallback()

query_api = client.query_api(query_options=QueryOptions(profilers=["query", "operator"], profiler_callback=callback))
tables = query_api.query('from(bucket:"my-bucket") |> range(start: -10m)')

for profiler in callback.records:
    print(f'Custom processing of profiler result: {profiler}')

Example output of this callback:

Custom processing of profiler result: {'result': '_profiler', 'table': 0, '_measurement': 'profiler/query', 'TotalDuration': 18843792, 'CompileDuration': 1078666, 'QueueDuration': 93375, 'PlanDuration': 0, 'RequeueDuration': 0, 'ExecuteDuration': 17371000, 'Concurrency': 0, 'MaxAllocated': 448, 'TotalAllocated': 0, 'RuntimeErrors': None, 'flux/query-plan': 'digraph {\r\n  ReadRange2\r\n  generated_yield\r\n\r\n  ReadRange2 -> generated_yield\r\n}\r\n\r\n', 'influxdb/scanned-bytes': 0, 'influxdb/scanned-values': 0}

How to use

Writes

The WriteApi supports synchronous, asynchronous and batching writes into InfluxDB 2.0. The data should be passed as a InfluxDB Line Protocol, Data Point or Observable stream.

The default instance of WriteApi use batching.

The data could be written as

  1. string or bytes that is formatted as a InfluxDB’s line protocol

  2. Data Point structure

  3. Dictionary style mapping with keys: measurement, tags, fields and time or custom structure

  4. NamedTuple

  5. Data Classes

  6. Pandas DataFrame

  7. List of above items

  8. A batching type of write also supports an Observable that produce one of an above item

You can find write examples at GitHub: influxdb-client-python/examples.

Batching

The batching is configurable by write_options:

Property

Description

Default Value

batch_size

the number of data pointx to collect in a batch

1000

flush_interval

the number of milliseconds before the batch is written

1000

jitter_interval

the number of milliseconds to increase the batch flush interval by a random amount

0

retry_interval

the number of milliseconds to retry first unsuccessful write. The next retry delay is computed using exponential random backoff. The retry interval is used when the InfluxDB server does not specify “Retry-After” header.

5000

max_retry_time

maximum total retry timeout in milliseconds.

180_000

max_retries

the number of max retries when write fails

5

max_retry_delay

the maximum delay between each retry attempt in milliseconds

125_000

exponential_base

the base for the exponential retry delay, the next delay is computed using random exponential backoff as a random value within the interval retry_interval * exponential_base^(attempts-1) and retry_interval * exponential_base^(attempts). Example for retry_interval=5_000, exponential_base=2, max_retry_delay=125_000, total=5 Retry delays are random distributed values within the ranges of [5_000-10_000, 10_000-20_000, 20_000-40_000, 40_000-80_000, 80_000-125_000]

Default Tags

Sometimes is useful to store same information in every measurement e.g. hostname, location, customer. The client is able to use static value or env property as a tag value.

The expressions:

  • California Miner - static value

  • ${env.hostname} - environment property

Via API
point_settings = PointSettings()
point_settings.add_default_tag("id", "132-987-655")
point_settings.add_default_tag("customer", "California Miner")
point_settings.add_default_tag("data_center", "${env.data_center}")

self.write_client = self.client.write_api(write_options=SYNCHRONOUS, point_settings=point_settings)
self.write_client = self.client.write_api(write_options=SYNCHRONOUS,
                                              point_settings=PointSettings(**{"id": "132-987-655",
                                                                              "customer": "California Miner"}))
Via Configuration file

In a init configuration file you are able to specify default tags by tags segment.

self.client = InfluxDBClient.from_config_file("config.ini")
[influx2]
url=http://localhost:8086
org=my-org
token=my-token
timeout=6000

[tags]
id = 132-987-655
customer = California Miner
data_center = ${env.data_center}

You can also use a TOML format for the configuration file.

Via Environment Properties

You are able to specify default tags by environment properties with prefix INFLUXDB_V2_TAG_.

Examples:

  • INFLUXDB_V2_TAG_ID

  • INFLUXDB_V2_TAG_HOSTNAME

self.client = InfluxDBClient.from_env_properties()

Asynchronous client

Data are writes in an asynchronous HTTP request.

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient, Point
from influxdb_client.client.write_api import ASYNCHRONOUS

client = InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token", org="my-org")
write_api = client.write_api(write_options=ASYNCHRONOUS)

_point1 = Point("my_measurement").tag("location", "Prague").field("temperature", 25.3)
_point2 = Point("my_measurement").tag("location", "New York").field("temperature", 24.3)

async_result = write_api.write(bucket="my-bucket", record=[_point1, _point2])
async_result.get()

client.close()

Synchronous client

Data are writes in a synchronous HTTP request.

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient, Point
from influxdb_client .client.write_api import SYNCHRONOUS

client = InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token", org="my-org")
write_api = client.write_api(write_options=SYNCHRONOUS)

_point1 = Point("my_measurement").tag("location", "Prague").field("temperature", 25.3)
_point2 = Point("my_measurement").tag("location", "New York").field("temperature", 24.3)

write_api.write(bucket="my-bucket", record=[_point1, _point2])

client.close()

Queries

The result retrieved by QueryApi could be formatted as a:

  1. Flux data structure: FluxTable, FluxColumn and FluxRecord

  2. Query bind parameters

  3. csv.reader which will iterate over CSV lines

  4. Raw unprocessed results as a str iterator

  5. Pandas DataFrame

The API also support streaming FluxRecord via query_stream, see example below:

Connect to InfluxDB Cloud

The following example demonstrate a simplest way how to write and query date with the InfluxDB Cloud.

At first point you should create an authentication token as is described here.

After that you should configure properties: influx_cloud_url, influx_cloud_token, bucket and org in a influx_cloud.py example.

The last step is run a python script via: python3 influx_cloud.py.

Advanced Usage

Gzip support

InfluxDBClient does not enable gzip compression for http requests by default. If you want to enable gzip to reduce transfer data’s size, you can call:

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient

_db_client = InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token", org="my-org", enable_gzip=True)

Proxy configuration

You can configure the client to tunnel requests through an HTTP proxy. The following proxy options are supported:

  • proxy - Set this to configure the http proxy to be used, ex. http://localhost:3128

  • proxy_headers - A dictionary containing headers that will be sent to the proxy. Could be used for proxy authentication.

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient

with InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086",
                    token="my-token",
                    org="my-org",
                    proxy="http://localhost:3128") as client:

Delete data

The delete_api.py supports deletes points from an InfluxDB bucket.

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient

client = InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token")

delete_api = client.delete_api()

"""
Delete Data
"""
start = "1970-01-01T00:00:00Z"
stop = "2021-02-01T00:00:00Z"
delete_api.delete(start, stop, '_measurement="my_measurement"', bucket='my-bucket', org='my-org')

"""
Close client
"""
client.close()

InfluxDB 1.8 API compatibility

InfluxDB 1.8.0 introduced forward compatibility APIs for InfluxDB 2.0. This allow you to easily move from InfluxDB 1.x to InfluxDB 2.0 Cloud or open source.

The following forward compatible APIs are available:

API

Endpoint

Description

query_api.py

/api/v2/query

Query data in InfluxDB 1.8.0+ using the InfluxDB 2.0 API and Flux (endpoint should be enabled by flux-enabled option)

write_api.py

/api/v2/write

Write data to InfluxDB 1.8.0+ using the InfluxDB 2.0 API

ping()

/ping

Check the status of your InfluxDB instance

For detail info see InfluxDB 1.8 example.

Handling Errors

Errors happen and it’s important that your code is prepared for them. All client related exceptions are delivered from InfluxDBError. If the exception cannot be recovered in the client it is returned to the application. These exceptions are left for the developer to handle.

Almost all APIs directly return unrecoverable exceptions to be handled this way:

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient
from influxdb_client.client.exceptions import InfluxDBError
from influxdb_client.client.write_api import SYNCHRONOUS

with InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token", org="my-org") as client:
    try:
        client.write_api(write_options=SYNCHRONOUS).write("my-bucket", record="mem,tag=a value=86")
    except InfluxDBError as e:
        if e.response.status == 401:
            raise Exception(f"Insufficient write permissions to 'my-bucket'.") from e
        raise

The only exception is batching WriteAPI (for more info see Batching). where you need to register custom callbacks to handle batch events. This is because this API runs in the background in a separate thread and isn’t possible to directly return underlying exceptions.

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient
from influxdb_client.client.exceptions import InfluxDBError


class BatchingCallback(object):

    def success(self, conf: (str, str, str), data: str):
        print(f"Written batch: {conf}, data: {data}")

    def error(self, conf: (str, str, str), data: str, exception: InfluxDBError):
        print(f"Cannot write batch: {conf}, data: {data} due: {exception}")

    def retry(self, conf: (str, str, str), data: str, exception: InfluxDBError):
        print(f"Retryable error occurs for batch: {conf}, data: {data} retry: {exception}")


with InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token", org="my-org") as client:
    callback = BatchingCallback()
    with client.write_api(success_callback=callback.success,
                          error_callback=callback.error,
                          retry_callback=callback.retry) as write_api:
        pass

HTTP Retry Strategy

By default the client uses a retry strategy only for batching writes (for more info see Batching). For other HTTP requests there is no one retry strategy, but it could be configured by retries parameter of InfluxDBClient.

For more info about how configure HTTP retry see details in urllib3 documentation.

from urllib3 import Retry

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient

retries = Retry(connect=5, read=2, redirect=5)
client = InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token", org="my-org", retries=retries)

Nanosecond precision

The Python’s datetime doesn’t support precision with nanoseconds so the library during writes and queries ignores everything after microseconds.

If you would like to use datetime with nanosecond precision you should use pandas.Timestamp that is replacement for python datetime.datetime object and also you should set a proper DateTimeHelper to the client.

from influxdb_client import Point, InfluxDBClient
from influxdb_client.client.util.date_utils_pandas import PandasDateTimeHelper
from influxdb_client.client.write_api import SYNCHRONOUS

"""
Set PandasDate helper which supports nanoseconds.
"""
import influxdb_client.client.util.date_utils as date_utils

date_utils.date_helper = PandasDateTimeHelper()

"""
Prepare client.
"""
client = InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token", org="my-org")

write_api = client.write_api(write_options=SYNCHRONOUS)
query_api = client.query_api()

"""
Prepare data
"""

point = Point("h2o_feet") \
    .field("water_level", 10) \
    .tag("location", "pacific") \
    .time('1996-02-25T21:20:00.001001231Z')

print(f'Time serialized with nanosecond precision: {point.to_line_protocol()}')
print()

write_api.write(bucket="my-bucket", record=point)

"""

"""
query = '''

        |> range(start: 0, stop: now())
        |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "h2o_feet")
'''
records = query_api.query_stream(query)

for record in records:
    print(f'Temperature in {record["location"]} is {record["_value"]} at time: {record["_time"]}')

"""

client.close()
