+Securing InfluxDB
+.................
+
+Default InfluxDB is wide open, to limit this a little we need to configure a few users
+
+Create the users needed
+1. Admin
+	CREATE USER gondulAdmin WITH PASSWORD 'FancyPassword' WITH ALL PRIVILEGES
+2. Write only user
+	CREATE USER gondulWrite WITH PASSWORD 'funfunfunWrite'
+	GRANT WRITE ON gondul to gondulWrite
+3. Read only user
+	CREATE USER gondulRead WITH PASSWORD 'funfunfun'
+	GRANT READ ON gondul to gondulRead
+
+Enable authentication
+Enable authentication by setting the auth-enabled option to true in the [http] section of the configuration file for influxDB /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf
+
+Set the influxdb write user and password in /includes/config.pm
+Add the read user to varnish so all read requests are authenticated
+Example varnish config:
+`if (req.url ~ "^/query") {
+        set req.backend_hint = influx;
+	set req.http.Authorization = "Basic Z29uZHVsUmVhZDpmdW5mdW5mdW4=";
+}`
