InfluxDB Templates have been introduced as a way to package up everything needed to monitor a particular technology into a single configuration file, allowing experts to share their expertise with others and newcomers to set up monitoring in just minutes. The new InfluxDB Template UI allows users to import templates directly into their InfluxDB Cloud instance without needing to use the influx CLI command, making it easier for users to get started with monitoring their applications. With over 40 templates available for popular technologies such as AWS, Zookeeper, and Docker, InfluxDB Templates aim to close the gap between InfluxDB's flexibility and dedicated monitoring platforms. By using InfluxDB Templates, users can accelerate their time to awesome by shaving hours off configuration time spent setting up data acquisition, alerting, and other monitoring tasks. The new templates UI also enables users to easily create and share their own custom templates, making it easier for the community to contribute and improve the platform.
