### Install InfluxDB (Optional but Recommended)

InfluxDB allows you to track long-term stats beyond what lqos_node_manager can so far.

To install InfluxDB 2.x., follow the steps at [https://portal.influxdata.com/downloads/](https://portal.influxdata.com/downloads/).

For high throughput networks (5+ Gbps) you will likely want to install InfluxDB to a separate machine or VM from that of the LibreQoS server to avoid CPU load.

Restart your system that is running InfluxDB

```shell
sudo reboot
```

Check to ensure InfluxDB is running properly. This command should show "Active: active" with green dot.

```shell
sudo service influxdb status
```

Check that Web UI is running:<br>

```shell
http://SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:8086
```

Create Bucket

- Data > Buckets > Create Bucket

Call the bucket `libreqos` (all lowercase).<br>
Have it store as many days of data as you prefer. 7 days is standard.<>
Import Dashboard `Boards > Create Dashboard > Import Dashboard`
Then upload the file [influxDBdashboardTemplate.json](https://github.com/rchac/LibreQoS/blob/main/src/influxDBdashboardTemplate.json) to InfluxDB.

[Generate an InfluxDB Token](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/security/tokens/create-token/). It will be added to ispConfig.py in the following steps.

```{note}
You may want to install a reverse proxy in front of the web interfaces for influx and lqos. Setting these up is outside the scope of this document, but some examples are [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/), and Nginx [Proxy Manager](https://nginxproxymanager.com/)
```
