# InfluxDB Connection Properties

## `scheme` (string, enum)

Transport scheme to be used

This element must be one of the following enum values:

* `http`
* `https`

Default: `"http"`

Example: `"https"`

## `host` (string, required)

The HTTP host of the InfluxDB server

Example: `"connectware"`

## `port` (integer)

The port of the InfluxDB server

Default: `8086`

Example: `8086`

## `token` (string)

An InfluxDB authentication token

Default: `""`

Example: `"an-influx-auth-token"`

## `probeInterval` (integer)

Time interval to check if connection is still there, in milliseconds

Default: `2000`

Additional restrictions:

* Minimum: `1000`

## `timeout` (integer)

Connection timeout, in milliseconds

Default: `10000`

Example: `10000`

Additional restrictions:

* Minimum: `1000`

## `transportOptions` (object)

Additional connection options for InfluxDB

Default:

```
{}
```

## `org` (string)

Organization for InfluxDB. An Organization is a workspace for a group of users, all objects stored in Influxdb belong to an organization

Default: `"generic"`

## `bucket` (string)

InfluxDB bucket

Default: `"measurement_data"`

## `precision` (string, enum)

Defines the precision to use for timestamps for InfluxDB

This element must be one of the following enum values:

* `ns`
* `us`
* `ms`
* `s`

Default: `"ms"`

## `maxRetryDelay` (integer)

Maximum delay between write retries in milliseconds

Default: `180000`

Example: `180000`

## `minRetryDelay` (integer)

Minimum delay between write retries in milliseconds

Default: `5000`

Example: `5000`

## `retryJitter` (integer)

Random value of up to Retry Jitter is added when attempting the next retry

Default: `200`

Example: `200`

## `maxBufferLines` (integer)

Maximum size of the buffer for items that could not be sent in a previous write

Default: `100000`

Example: `100000`

## `maxRetries` (integer)

Maximum number of retries to attempt a write

Default: `3`

Example: `3`

## `exponentialBase` (integer)

Exponential base of the Retry Jitter used when computing the next delay

Default: `5`

Example: `5`

## `batchSize` (integer)

Maximum points/line to send in a single batch to InfluxDB

Default: `1000`

Example: `1000`

## `flushInterval` (integer)

Maximum time in milliseconds to keep points in an unflushed batch

Default: `10000`

Example: `10000`

Additional restrictions:

* Minimum: `1`

## `connectionStrategy` (object)

If a connection attempt fails, retries will be performed with increasing delay (waiting time) in between. The following parameters control how these delays behave.

Properties of the `connectionStrategy` object:

#### `initialDelay` (integer)

Delay (waiting time) of the first connection retry (in milliseconds). For subsequent retries, the delay will be increased according to the parameter incrementFactor which has a default value of 2.

Default: `1000`

Additional restrictions:

* Minimum: `1000`

#### `maxDelay` (integer)

Maximum delay (waiting time) to wait until the next retry (in milliseconds). The delay (waiting time) for any subsequent connection retry will not be larger than this value. Must be strictly greater than initialDelay.

Default: `30000`

#### `incrementFactor` (integer)

The factor used to increment initialDelay up to maxDelay. For example if initialDelay is set to 1000 and maxDelay to 5000 the values for the delay would be 1000, 2000, 4000, 5000.

Default: `2`

Additional restrictions:

* Minimum: `2`
