I want to install InfluxDB on Windows for Jmeter. Can any one guide me how it can be done. Because I cannot find any specific link to get a Windows version of InfluxDB. Is Windows supported by InfluxDB ?
Thankyou.
Yes, InfluxDB runs fine on windows as well.
You can get the windows installable here.
Additional Info:
If you are unable to locate the config file, You can make influxdb display the default config.
For ex: influxd.exe config
This command displays all the default values. So create a config file with default values and modify as you need.
Then restart influxdb with below command to make the changes effective.
influxd.exe -config /path/to/config/file
Take a look at Docker and look at the influxDB docker file. You can easy run influxDB on your localhost
If you need a 32bit version, you will need to compile it yourself. This is certainly possible but you will also need golang.
I've not done it myself so I can't be sure of the exact instructions. However there are instructions from the middle of 2015 here: http://mickesommar.com/post/Compile_influxdb_for_windows/
Also the InfluxDB github source contains some example 32bit Docker files (though not for Windows).

I am trying to install Elasticsearch on my computer. I am following this tutorial for the purpose. The steps mentioned in this tutorial works fine in one computer. But when I am trying to install ElasticSearch in another computer, I found that the config file is entirely commented unlike the config file of the previous computer in which I could install the Elastic search. I have tried downloading elasticsearch multiple times, but every time I found that the config file is commented. I have also tried manually pasting the config file in the second system, but that attempt fails as well. Is there any issue with my system that prevents the config file from getting downloaded in the right manner? Also what should be done in my case. Any help in this regard will be of great value.
I have to use d3 graph at my web page. I never worked with d3. That's why, I'm facing some problem using it. Basically, I've to work at dropbox folder. So, my clients can see the worked file locally at their browser. Consider, I put a d3 chart at file.html file and my folder structure is like this
D:\Projects\Dropbox (Company)\MyName\FolderName\file.html
But, I saw that to run and see/show d3 examples I need run web server or run a python server. So, I've downloaded Python 3.4.1 and installed by double click. It's installed at this directory: C:\Python34
After that, I tried to follow d3's documentation for installing python server. So, I opened my cmd and type:
python -m http.server 8888 &
But, it gives me this error:
So, my question is:
How can I install python web server?
After installing that web server, is it possible see the d3 chart via this link: file:///D:/Projects/Dropbox (Company)/MyName/FolderName/file.html or I've put my files inside htdocs and run via http://localhost/folderName/file.html (I don't want to put files inside htdocs. It'll be tough for my clients see the output of the files directly from their pc)?
If it can't be seen without putting inside htdocs folder, I may find solution for running d3.js locally without installing any additional software/server(though I've found this type of solution for some d3.js chart but not for all). Thanks in advance and please don't mind if it's a lame question. Basically, it's my first day working with d3.js and I'm only ameture level skilled with javascript and jQuery.
OK, browsers are designed with security in mind, by default they don't let scripts go and grab a file from anywhere for very good reasons. They allow you to grab a file from the server or through requests. So to share your work with your client you will either need to use a hosting service - I would recommend bl.ocks, design your visualisation so it doesn't require any external data or provide instructions on how to disable browser security. You can read more about this here, here and here.
On python, in many cases python is already installed on people machines, so running a server from python shouldn't be an issue. All you have to do (on a windows machine) is launch your command prompt navigate to your directory and start your python server. Then open a browser and navigate to the localhost. Please note that python needs to be set as an environmental variable (i.e. your system path), the python documentation might help you here.
I need to periodically distribute an updated set of files (DLL, javascript) as a patch release to multiple windows PCs of various versions (vista/XP/7 etc.). Currently I have a link on my website for each user to download the setup.exe file and manually install the patch (replaces the existing DLLs). In order to eliminate the manual process, I'm researching how to run a program automatically on windows (I assume that means a service) which will check my server periodically for an update, download it and automatically trigger the setup.exe (or some similar process to get the patch files replaced).
I'm not a windows developer per se, but have downloaded and tried to check various options (in order to not reinvent the wheel) such as Sparkle, DDay, CSAutoUpdater, Npackd and just started looking into Google Omaha - but most assume that check happens when the windows application is started using their libraries/components. I need to run an autoupdater independently of the app I'm trying to update - so I need to first get all users to run a setup.exe which should install and start my windows service so that it can run with windows daily to run a program to check, download and install the update.
I found some sample code for writing windows service on stackoverflow, codeproject also, but couldn't find how to autoinstall it (ideally with no UAC hassles for newer windows versions). All required using instalutil or some other manual process to install and start the service.
Any guidance on this would be great! Thanks - and apologies to the long winded question. Will update with additional results as I try out other products.
As you mentioned Npackd I would like to describe how this can be done using it.
I agree with selbie that the simplest solution would be to just create a task with Windows scheduler.
For Npackd you would need your own repository - an XML file accessible via HTTP, for example as http://www.yourserver.com/rep.xml . Here is a simple example for a repository: https://gist.github.com/raw/4132983/dabecde48c796d4fdfa2f645bb744ac58640572c/TestRepository.xml . A user would download Npackd (http://code.google.com/p/windows-package-manager/downloads/list) and add the URL to the list of repositories.
I would define 2 packages: one for the program itself and one for the auto-updater. This way if somebody wants to update the program manually, he can do this too.
You could create or delete a Windows task using the command line tool schtasks.exe available on every Windows system.
The update command itself would be also very simple:
npackdcl update --package=<package>
In order to eliminate the manual process, I'm researching how to run a program automatically on windows (I assume that means a service) which will check my server periodically for an update, download it and automatically trigger the setup.exe (or some similar process to get the patch files replaced).
You likely want the Windows Task Scheduler service for the "periodic" part of your statement. You use that to launch whatever code you would need to actually do the "check for update", download, copy, etc... I don't think you need a Windows Service.
You can likely script a Task Scheduler event. Or do it more programmatically with the API.
You can do as follow:
Maintain the version of the of the dll,exe etc in DB.
Check the version of the Installed version with the version in DB, before the application start up.
If the versions are diff, ask the user to update to the latest version from server.
If he clicks on YES. Update the files from server.

It seems that the stock bootstrapping process is a bit lacking on Windows.
Linux has cloud-init which will install packages, store files, and run a bash script from user data.
Windows has ec2config but there is currently no support to run a cmd or powershell script when the system is "ready"--meaning that all the initial reboots are completed.
There seem to be third party options. For example RightScale has the RightLink agent which performs this function.
Are there open source options available?
Are there any plans to add this feature to Ec2Config?
Do I have to build this my self?
Am I missing something?
It appears that EC2Config on the Amazon-provided AMIs now supports "User Data Scripts" as of the 11-April-2012 updates.
The documentation has not yet been updated, so it's hard to tell if it supports PowerShell or just cmd.exe scripts. I've posted a question on the AWS forums to try and get some more detail, and will update here when I learn more.
UPDATE: It looks like cmd.exe batch syntax is supported, which can in turn invoke PowerShell. There's a new version of the EC2Config documentation included on the AMI. Quoting from it:
[EC2Config] will read in the user data specified for the instance and then check if it contain the tags <script> and </script>. If it finds both then it will take the information between those two tags and save it to a batch file located in the Settings folder of this application. It will then execute the batch file during the start of an instance.
The batch file will only be created and executed on the first launch of an instance after a sysprep. If you want to have the batch file created and executed again set the Ec2HandleUserdata plugin state to Enabled.
UPDATE 2: My interpretation is confirmed by Shon from the AWS Team
UPDATE 3: And as of the May-2012 AMIs, PowerShell is supported using the <powershell/> tag.
Cloudbase.it have opensourced a python windows service they call cloudbase-init which follows the configdrive and HTTP datasources.

I had to build one myself however it was very easy. Just made a service that reads the user-data when starts up and executes the file as a powershell script.
To get around the issue of not knowing when to start the service I just made the service start type as "delayed-auto" and that seemed to fix the problem. Depending on what you need to do to the system that may or may not work for you however in my case that was all I had to do.
I added a new codeplex project that already has this tool built for windows. Looking forward to some feedback.
http://cloudinitnet.codeplex.com/
We had to build it ourselves; we did it with a custom service and built our own AMIs. There's no provision currently within EC2Config to do it.
Even better, there is no easy way to determine when the instance is "ready". We had to do it by tailing the logfile of EC2Config.
I've recently found nssm (at nssm.cc) which easily wraps a simple batch file (or pretty much anything else) as a service. You can then us sc config servic1 depend= service0 to force the batch file to be run at a particular point in the service initialization sequence. I am using it in between ex2config and sql express to create a folder on d, for instance. You'll have to use the services tool to make it run as network services and change the AppExit property to Ignore using regedit, but it works once you get it all in place.
Is it possible to install the entire database(postgresql8.2) via command prompt or batch file or registry file bypassing the trivial procedure for installation. But then to a question comes that, how can we supply default parameters such as name,password,language,default location of database? Currently I'm working on 'Windows XP' platform.
Thank you.
For 8.3 and lower the obvious answer is: http://pginstaller.projects.pgfoundry.org/ which supports or supported silent installations. For more recent versions, please read: http://forums.enterprisedb.com/posts/list/2135.page
Use of existing installers would simplify your life and be where I would start.
This being said there is no reason you can't generate a script to register dll's properly run initdb, etc. This will take some extra knowledge of both PostgreSQL and Windows, and will be mostly suitable for custom solutions (i.e. not cases where you merely are packaging software that runs with PostgreSQL). I don't think an complete answer can be given here because once you need such a solution you need to design your installation around if. Books could be written on that topic. The docs http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/install-windows.html should get you started however since the only difference really between installing from source and installing from the precompiled source is just that you need to compile the source files first.
Failing that you could take a look at the binary zip packages. Typically these can be extracted and PostgreSQL can be run from inside them.
