Configuration example

Use influxdata default main config template (recommended):

manala_influxdb_config_template: config/influxdata/influxdb.conf.j2
manala_influxdb_config:
  reporting-disabled: true
  meta:
    dir: /srv/db/influxdb/meta
  http:
    enabled: true
  udp:
    - enabled: true
      bind-address: :8090
      database: app

Use dict parameters:

manala_influxdb_config:
  reporting-disabled: true
  meta:
    dir: /srv/db/influxdb/meta
  http:
    enabled: true
  udp:
    - enabled: true
      bind-address: :8090
      database: app

Use raw config:

manala_influxdb_config: |
  reporting-disabled = true
  [meta]
    dir = "/srv/db/influxdb/meta"
  [http]
    enabled = true
  [[udp]]
    enabled = true
    bind-address = ":8090"
    database = "app"

Use dict's array parameters (deprecated):

manala_influxdb_config:
  - reporting-disabled: true
  - meta:
    - dir: /srv/db/influxdb/meta
  - http:
    - enabled: true
  - udp:
    - enabled: true
    - bind-address: :8090
    - database: app

Databases & Users & Privileges:

manala_influxdb_databases:
  - my_db
manala_influxdb_users:
  - database: my_db
    name: my_user
