apache-airflow-providers-influxdb

What it is and what it does

This is an Apache Airflow provider package that extends Airflow with InfluxDB connectivity. It supplies operators and hooks that allow Airflow DAGs to interact with InfluxDB time-series databases—reading metrics, writing observations, or triggering queries as part of data pipelines. The package depends on apache-airflow, influxdb-client, influxdb3-python, and requests, and is maintained as part of the main Apache Airflow project.

Typically used in monitoring and observability workflows where you need Airflow to orchestrate time-series data collection, aggregation, or alerting. Installation is straightforward (pure Python wheel) and the package supports modern Python versions (3.10 through 3.14). It is actively maintained with recent releases and carries no known security vulnerabilities.

Use it for:

• Write Airflow task metrics and execution logs to InfluxDB for centralized monitoring.
• Query historical time-series data from InfluxDB as input to downstream Airflow tasks.
• Orchestrate periodic data ingestion pipelines that read from sensors and write to InfluxDB.
• Build alerting workflows that fetch anomalies from InfluxDB and trigger notifications.
• Aggregate metrics from multiple sources and persist them to InfluxDB via Airflow DAGs.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Integrates InfluxDB time-series database with Apache Airflow, providing operators and hooks to read from and write to InfluxDB instances within Airflow DAGs.

Yes. If you run Apache Airflow and need to integrate InfluxDB into your data pipelines, this is the standard provider package. Low install friction, active maintenance, permissive license, no known vulnerabilities, and part of the official Airflow ecosystem make it a safe choice. Install only if you actually use InfluxDB; it adds a dependency chain that is unnecessary otherwise.

Install

apache-airflow-providers-influxdb on PyPI

pip install apache-airflow-providers-influxdb

uv add apache-airflow-providers-influxdb

poetry add apache-airflow-providers-influxdb

Installing apache-airflow-providers-influxdb

Before you install

Low install friction; pure Python wheel. Requires Apache Airflow >=2.11.0 and active maintenance with recent releases.

License in practice

Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; suitable for most deployment contexts.

Quickstart

pip install apache-airflow-providers-influxdb

from airflow.providers.influxdb.operators.influxdb import InfluxDBOperator
from airflow import DAG

with DAG('my_dag') as dag:
    task = InfluxDBOperator(task_id='write_influxdb', ...)

Requires Apache Airflow >=2.11.0 and Python >=3.10 already installed.

Verify before relying

• Specific operators and hooks available beyond basic read/write capability.
• Whether InfluxDB 2.x and 3.x are both fully supported or if there are version-specific limitations.
• Real-world performance characteristics for large time-series workloads.
