Configuring InfluxDB (Server side)

"q=CREATE USER username WITH PASSWORD 'strongpassword' WITH ALL PRIVILEGES"

Now to access influxDB using CLI:

$ influx -username 'username' -password 'password'

Create your database:

CREATE DATABASE robotdb

Test if it was created properly:

> show databases
name: databases
