Sample data

Sample datasets are used throughout the InfluxDB Cloud Serverless documentation to demonstrate functionality. Use the following sample datasets to replicate provided examples.

Get started home sensor data

Includes hourly home sensor data used in the Get started with InfluxDB Cloud Serverless guide. This dataset includes anomalous sensor readings and helps to demonstrate processing and alerting on time series data. To customize timestamps in the dataset, use the button in the lower right corner of the page. This lets you modify the sample dataset to stay within the retention period of the bucket you write it to.

Time Range

2022-01-01T08:00:00Z to 2022-01-01T20:00:00Z (Customizable)

Schema
  • home (measurement)
    • tags:
      • room
        • Kitchen
        • Living Room
    • fields:
      • co (integer)
      • temp (float)
      • hum (float)

Home sensor actions data

Includes hypothetical actions triggered by data in the Get started home sensor data and is a companion dataset to that sample dataset. To customize timestamps in the dataset, use the button in the lower right corner of the page. This lets you modify the sample dataset to stay within the retention period of the database you write it to.

New in InfluxDB 3.5

Key enhancements in InfluxDB 3.5 and the InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3.

See the Blog Post

InfluxDB 3.5 is now available for both Core and Enterprise, introducing custom plugin repository support, enhanced operational visibility with queryable CLI parameters and manual node management, stronger security controls, and general performance improvements.

InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3 brings powerful new capabilities including Dashboards (beta) for saving and organizing your favorite queries, and cache querying for instant access to Last Value and Distinct Value caches—making Explorer a more comprehensive workspace for time series monitoring and analysis.

For more information, check out:

InfluxDB Docker latest tag changing to InfluxDB 3 Core

On November 3, 2025, the latest tag for InfluxDB Docker images will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments.

If using Docker to install and run InfluxDB, the latest tag will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments. For example, if using Docker to run InfluxDB v2, replace the latest version tag with a specific version tag in your Docker pull command–for example:

docker pull influxdb:2
