InfluxDB Tech Tips: Configuring Telegraf & Kapacitor When auth is Enabled on InfluxDB & Tips on Chronograf` InfluxDB users can now configure their Telegraf and Kapacitor instances to connect to an authenticated InfluxDB instance. To do this, they need to specify their InfluxDB username and password in the Telegraf and Kapacitor configuration files. The status icon on Chronograf's Host List page indicates whether Chronograf has received data from a host's Telegraf instance within the past minute. Currently, Chronograf supports five visualization types: line, stacked, step-plot, singleStat, and line+stat. Users can deploy InfluxDB on their servers or in the cloud for free trials, and share their success stories to receive rewards.
