Description

Hi Team,

is there any option to limit specific IP access to InfluxDB?

We are using InfluxDB for telegraf data store, and Grafana to access/GET data from InfluxDB, Now I want to allow only one Grafana server to access/GET influx data.

We can't use user/password for this, so is there any option to restrict influxDB access?

Research direction
The issue requests IP whitelisting for InfluxDB. Start by examining the HTTP server setup in the httpd package. Look for any existing IP filtering or middleware hooks. Review comments for specific requirements. Implement a configuration option to restrict access by IP address. Ensure compatibility with existing authentication methods.
