Answer 1

Look for ..influxdb-versiona.b.c.dinfluxdb.conf file to enable Admin

It is in HOCON format Look for [admin] section. and uncomment it

from # [admin] to admin

By default, it will be commented "#" is used to comment in HOCON format. Uncomment the binding address and enabled = false

Change the enabled from false to true.

Run the following command

influxd -config influxdb.conf

Acces the Admin interface by using the http://localhost:8083/ url.
