InfluxDB CLI and Configuration Options
Influx DB is an easy-to-use time-series database, that uses a familiar query syntax, allows for regular and irregular time series, and is part of a broad stack of platform components. The TICK stack is a set of four components that together make it quick and easy to collect time series data and graph it for users. One uses the CLI because it's always there, and is much easier than using CURL on the REST API.

Time-series data with InfluxDB, overview
Time-series databases are used for scenarios involving collecting time-stamped data. You probably want to generate summaries (rollups and aggregations), data retention policies, and so forth. That every datum is time-stamped makes it immediately different from regular SQL databases. InfluxDB is an open source time-series database.
