Influxdb 3.0 Core Token generation function missing

Configuration
1

Hi,

I’m a bit stuck while adding latest influxdb as an Addon. Installation succeeded, I have access to the Web-Gui of Influxdb. (Assuming 3.0 Core) Creating a database and a user works. But there is no option to create a token. Did I get sth wrong during installation? Asking Miss Google comes up with a CLI-command creating a token, but that doesn’t seem like a reasonable way to go. Can you help me?

info from the logs:

Add-on: InfluxDB
Scalable datastore for metrics, events, and real-time analytics

Add-on version: 5.0.2
You are running the latest version of this add-on.

Home Assistant Core: 2026.3.4
Home Assistant Supervisor: 2026.03.2

The influxdb integration can use core V3, but not the add-on AFAIK…

Versions listed in the App (Add-on):

# Setup base system
ARG BUILD_ARCH=amd64
ARG INFLUXDB_VERSION="1.8.10"
ARG CHRONOGRAF_VERSION="1.10.2"
ARG KAPACITOR_VERSION="1.5.9-1"

Thanks for looking into it. I’m just wondering, as the problem comes from Influxdb side, as there is no possibility to create a token anymore. Maybe I didn’t get the docs page well enough, but token seems to be a mandatory entry in configuration.yaml for influxdb R2 and R3. Feels like Influx removed an option from their web config, as all tutorials are referring to a “security” tab.
If that is the case, R3 could just be used with the cli-Interface, meaning logging in to the docker instance.
Hopefully I’m overlooking sth here.

Just an addendum: R3 is automatically installed by the addon.
Just removed the app and the docker Image is gone.

The Influxdb App (Add-on) only supports influx 1.8.
It likely won’t do what you want it to.
Use the integration.

Now I must confess, I’m lost. Let’s move one step back

Where did I start from: Setting up HA and the wish to keep data for longer periods.
Found influxdb seems to be, what I need. Found the add-on installed that, followed the docs provided with the addon.
So basically I’m not sure, what infuxdb was installed with the addon, I wrongly assumed the latest. (R3)

So your statement says, that the app is installing 1.8, so I need to follow the 1.x configuration options. Is that correct?
