Issue Summary

I have working Redash instance with mongodb data source.

I am trying to add InfluxDB data source, but it does not present in the “New Data Sources” list.

"redash.query_runner.influx_db" presents in default_query_runners in redash/settings/__init__.py

Do i need to enable it somehow? Can not find any instruction (

@ShPavel Were you able to fix this problem? I’m facing the exact same issue.

When adding a new data source via manage.py ds new I only see these 51 sources and Influx isn’t one of them.

@jesse Any clue about this?

I’ve confirmed that the package influxdb==5.2.3 is installed!

Please don’t tag me in posts like this @szafar. I see everything that posts on the forum already. Tagging like that just clutters my feed.

Make sure you pip install -r requirements_all_ds.txt and check if you are able to add the data source from within Redash (not using the CLI).

Okay, sorry about the tagging.

I’ve installed all the requirements - specifically influxdb.

And I am not able to add the source from UI either. OP has posted a screenshot above. That is exactly how I see it as well. Influxdb is totally missing from the UI and the CLI.

Will it be better to create an issue on GitHub?

I wouldn’t make a GH issue just yet as this doesn’t seem like a bug. I’m able to add InfluxDB sources on a fresh install of Redash in Docker.

How did you install Redash?

And just to be clear: I know you installed influxdb. But did you specifically run pip install -r requirements_all_ds.txt? We pin our dependency versions to make sure everything works together. Just running pip install influxdb isn’t the same thing.

I did actually end up creating an issue and it did turn out to be a code related issue.
