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?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine InfluxDB's existing authentication and authorization mechanisms. Review any configuration for network level access control. Consider implementing an IP whitelist feature in the HTTP handler or query endpoint.
