InfluxDB 1.6.2 — release notes InfluxDB Enterprise 1.6.2 — release notes

This is the first official release of InfluxDB Enterprise on the 1.6 line.

Key highlights for the Enterprise release include:

• The Anti-Entropy (AE) service now provides the ability to repair shards and eliminate inconsistencies, in addition to detecting missing shards.
• LDAP is now supported as a backing store for user permissions.
• Additional TLS configuration options are also available allowing for a more precise configuration related to TLS version and specification of allowed ciphers.
• Back-pressure features are available to help prevent clusters from being overwhelmed with writes and hinted-handoff.

Features released with InfluxDB 1.6 OSS and all subsequent defect fixes from versions 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 are available with InfluxDB Enterprise 1.6.2.
