# InfluxDB 3 Connection Properties

## `scheme` (string, enum)

Protocol to use for connecting to the InfluxDB 3 server. Choose 'http' for unencrypted or 'https' for encrypted connections.

This element must be one of the following enum values:

* `http`
* `https`

Default: `"http"`

Example: `"https"`

## `host` (string, required)

Hostname or IP address of the InfluxDB 3 server.

Example: `"influxdb3"`

## `port` (integer)

Network port on which the InfluxDB 3 server is listening.

Default: `8181`

Example: `8181`

## `token` (string)

Authentication token used to access the InfluxDB 3 server.

Default: `""`

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

## `authScheme` (string)

Token authentication scheme. Leave unset for InfluxDB Cloud access. Set to 'Bearer' for InfluxDB 3 Core/Enterprise.

Example: `"Bearer"`

## `database` (string)

Name of the InfluxDB 3 database (the equivalent of a bucket in InfluxDB 2.x) used for reads and writes.

Default: `"measurement_data"`

## `precision` (string, enum)

Time precision for timestamps written to InfluxDB. Options: only milliseconds (ms) is supported at the moment

This element must be one of the following enum values:

* `ms`

Default: `"ms"`

## `queryType` (string, enum)

Default query language used for read endpoints when the endpoint does not specify one. InfluxDB 3 uses SQL natively; InfluxQL is offered for compatibility.

This element must be one of the following enum values:

* `sql`
* `influxql`

Default: `"sql"`

## `noSync` (boolean)

When true the server responds before waiting for write-ahead-log persistence (faster, but without persistence confirmation)

Default: `false`

## `acceptPartial` (boolean)

When true the server accepts a batch where some lines are valid and some are not.

Default: `true`

## `gzipThreshold` (integer)

Write request bodies larger than this size (in bytes) are gzip-compressed before being sent.

Default: `1000`

Example: `1000`

## `writeTimeout` (integer)

Maximum time (in milliseconds) to wait for a write request before timing out.

Default: `10000`

Additional restrictions:

* Minimum: `1000`

## `queryTimeout` (integer)

Maximum time (in milliseconds) to wait for a query before timing out.

Default: `60000`

Additional restrictions:

* Minimum: `1000`

## `probeInterval` (integer)

Interval (in milliseconds) at which the connection to InfluxDB 3 is checked for availability via the server '/ping' endpoint.

Default: `2000`

Additional restrictions:

* Minimum: `1000`

## `transportOptions` (object)

Additional HTTP or HTTPS request options passed directly to the underlying Node.js client. When 'scheme' is 'http' the options are forwarded to http.request; when 'https' they are forwarded to https.request. Allows advanced configuration such as custom headers, agents, proxies, or TLS settings.

Default:

```
{}
```

## `batchSize` (integer)

Maximum number of data points to accumulate before flushing them to InfluxDB in a single request. The buffer is also flushed when 'flushInterval' elapses, whichever comes first.

Default: `1000`

Example: `1000`

Additional restrictions:

* Minimum: `1`
* Maximum: `10000`

## `flushInterval` (integer)

Maximum time (in milliseconds) to hold data points in the write buffer before sending them to InfluxDB. The buffer is also flushed when 'batchSize' is reached, whichever comes first.

Default: `3000`

Example: `3000`

Additional restrictions:

* Minimum: `1`

## `connectionStrategy` (object)

Configuration for retrying failed connection attempts using an exponential backoff strategy.

Properties of the `connectionStrategy` object:

#### `initialDelay` (integer)

Delay (in milliseconds) before the first retry attempt after a failed connection.

Default: `1000`

Additional restrictions:

* Minimum: `1000`

#### `maxDelay` (integer)

Maximum delay (in milliseconds) between retry attempts.

Default: `30000`

#### `incrementFactor` (integer)

Multiplier applied to the previous delay to calculate the next retry delay, up to 'maxDelay'.

Default: `2`

Additional restrictions:

* Minimum: `2`

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cybus.io/connectors/enterprise-connectors/influxdb/influxdb3connection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
