Run inferior influx process in Emacs to interact with Influxdb
git clone http://github.com/Manoj321/influx ~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/influx
Add the following to init.el
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/influx/")
(require 'influx)
M-x run-influx
Once the package is loaded calling run-influx should automatically connect to influx running on localhost. If influx binary is not in path and you would like to connect to a different server do the following.
(setq influx-cli-file-path "/usr/local/bin/influx")
(setq influx-cli-arguments '("-host" "server" "-username" "foo" "-password" "bar" "-precision" "rfc3339"))
