InfluxDB

Networking

Influxdb is now behind a reverse proxy (traefik). The DNS record influxdb.galaxyproject.eu points to this proxy. To reach the actual service VM, use influxdb.bi.privat.

gxadmin

gxadmin has a mechanism called gxadmin meta influx-post to directly push data

For example gxadmin meta slurp-upto can be used to fill ceratain influx tables. If we loose the influx DB and need to retrospectively fill the tables we can do for example this:

gxadmin meta slurp-initial 2014-01-01 2022-08-08 server-users.upto

This will fill the registered user table and dashboard.
