Command Line Interface and CSVs
Available Now: Separate downloadable package for Cloud users
InfluxDB CLI now extends support for CSV files via write command:
• Define and reuse CSV annotations; in-line or via file
• Inject annotation headers
• Skip annotation headers and/or rows with errors
• Specify CSV character encoding
• Use alternative data type formats: numeric, Boolean, and timestamps
• Define and inject constants

What’s Next: InfluxQL in Cloud
InfluxQL support via API allowing:
• Existing v1 client library access
• Dashboard access via Chronograf
• Easier migration for existing customers
1.X Write API support is also planned
Starting: July 1st
