Add User to InfluxDB User Interface

Posted

When using FactoryTalk View SE version 14 and higher, a local instance of InfluxDB Core is installed and used with DataLogPro.

To access the InfluxDB interface, it is necessary to create a new InfluxDB user and assign the user permission to access.

You will need to open the InfluxDB command line interface (CLI) located in this default location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockwell Software\RSView Enterprise \3rdParty\InfluxData\InfluxCli

Using the InfluxDB CLI, enter the following command to create a new user:

influx user create -n johndoe -p password -o Rockwell

Note: Rockwell is the default organization name that is created when FT View SE is installed. You cannot change this name of the default organization. And you will not be able to create a new organization when using the InfluxDB instance automatically installed with FT View SE.

Next, provide the newly created user with a token for all access permissions:

influx auth create –org Rockwell –user johndoe –all-access

You can now log into the local InfluxDB interface by using a web browser and entering localhost:8086.
