How to connect QlikView/ Qlik Sense to Influx database?

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

Currently Qlik does not provide any dedicated connector to Influx database  (https://www.influxdata.com/products/).

According to InfluxDB help site at https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.2/guides/querying_data/, InfluxDB provides HTTP API interface, which allows querying data by sending GET requests to the database server. You may consider using the built-in REST connector of Qlik Sense to send such GET requests and load data from InfluxDB.

Refer to the help site of Qlik REST connector for more detailed documentation of this connector.

According to https://db-engines.com/en/system/InfluxDB, InfluxDB does not provide ODBC / OLE DB driver. Therefore, using generic OLE DB/ ODBC connection is not an option.

Environment:

• Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows 
• Qlik Cloud 
• Qlik Sense Business 
• QlikView

I see that InfluxDB was not supported directly by Qlik in 2018. Is it today? If it is not supported today, is this connector on your product roadmap? What other time series database connections/connectors are offered by Qlik? Thank you!

Hello @ruchc03 !

A list of available connectors can be found here: About Qlik Connectors.  A native connector for Influx is not currently available.
