+influxdb (An Open-Source Time Series Database)
+
+InfluxDB is an open source time series database with no external dependencies.
+It's useful for recording metrics, events, and performing analytics.
+
+It supports high write loads, large data set storage, and conserves space thru
+downsampling, automatically expiring and deleting unwanted data as well as
+backup and restore. InfluxDB also makes it easy to analyze data by providing an
+easy-to-use SQL-like query language.
+
+
+Groupname and Username
+
+You must have the "influxdb" group and user to run this script, for example:
+
+ groupadd -g 348 influxdb
+ useradd -u 348 -s /bin/false -d /var/lib/influxdb influxdb
