Reporting
As of version 0.7.1, InfluxDB reports anonymous data once every 24 hours to m.influxdb.com. To minimize our bandwidth usage, we will disable this reporting. Find the file /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf. Change the property reporting-disabled to true.

CREATE USER <username> WITH PASSWORD '<password>' |

https-enabled = true |
