Influx and Infras

There is currently a one-to-one mapping between infras and databases in influx.

One instance of Influx may contain multiple databases, and therefore service multiple infras.

Create a new Infra Database

In your influx instance, databases are conventionally created with a deploy_level as well as an infra reference. This is intended to help with development. With this convention, the command would be

> CREATE DATABASE "<deploy_lelel>_<infra>";

e.g. if creating a production infra titled for an infra named badgerwood:

> CREATE DATABASE "prod_badgerwood";

See the full influx documentation for details on retention policies etc.
