+
+#### Configuration
+
+##### SSL
+
+First, you need to download the certificate bundle on the influxdb host. Below is an example of sending from your local system.
+
+```shell
+# on your local
+# scp the cert or download
+# your cert needs to be bundle that combines the private key, your crt and certificate chain
+# do so with something like below
+cat privkey.pem mysite.crt mysite-ca-bundle.crt > bundle.pem
+scp bundle.pem root@myhost:/tmp
+```
+
+Now, on the influx host, you can configure influxdb config
+
+```shell
+mv /tmp/bundle.pem /opt/influx/ssl/
+chown -R influxdb:influxdb /opt/influx/
+cp /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf{,-bak}
+sed -i s./var/lib/influxdb/meta./opt/influx/data/meta. /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf
+sed -i s./var/lib/influxdb/data./opt/influx/data/data. /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf
+sed -i s./var/lib/influxdb/wal./opt/influx/wal. /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf
+sed -i s,/etc/ssl/influxdb.pem,/opt/influx/ssl/bundle.pem, /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf
+```
+
+##### Authentication configuration
+```shell
+/etc/init.d/influxdb start # start with auth-enabled = false
+```
+
+Now, connect to the influxdb and configure the users. We'll configure one admin user and one non-admin user.
+```shell
+influx
+> create user superadmin with password 'my_password' with all privileges
+> create user nonadmin with password 'na_password'
+> grant all on tsdb_stage to nonadmin
+> grant READ on tsdb_prod to nonadmin
+> grant WRITE on tsdb_dev to nonadmin
+```
+
+Once you have created necessary users, you can re-enable the authentication. You could have chosen to just create admin user first and then create non-admin users after enabling authentication to reduce the window of keeping your influxdb wide open.
+
+```shell
+/etc/init.d/influxdb stop
+sed -i "s/auth-enabled = false/auth-enabled = true/" /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf
+/etc/init.d/influxdb start
+```
+
+That should be all for getting the influxdb up and running on Amazon Linux.
