We’re excited to announce the immediate availability of the next beta release of InfluxDB Enterprise!

What’s InfluxDB Enterprise? It’s the software that turns any 0.13 instance into a production-ready cluster. Rebalancing, monitoring, user and system management all with a slick UI, on YOUR infrastructure.

New in today’s release:

Cluster Rebalancing

Now enabled in the InfluxDB Enterprise web UI is the ability to rebalance the underlying data of a cluster as you add or delete nodes with zero downtime.

Backup and Restore

Also in this release, the ability to backup and restore an entire cluster including nodes and shards.

Table-based Data Explorer

Within the InfluxDB Enterprise data explorer tab you can now get a graphical experience closer to the functionality of the CLI, for example the ability to query for non-numeric values.
