Why teams connect Active Directory and InfluxDB
Close the gap between your application data and your directory: InfluxDB and Active Directory share users, groups, and access in real time, in both directions.
Active Directory is the system of record for who people are and what they can reach: users, the groups they belong to, and the applications assigned to them. InfluxDB holds the operational data those same people show up in, whether an employee or member table that decides who should have an account at all, a customers list, or the rows an application checks before it authorizes an action. The two describe overlapping users and groups, and when a nightly export or a hand-run script is all that connects them, accounts lag joiners and leavers and the application authorizes against a stale picture of who has access.
Stacksync syncs Points, Tags, Fields, Retention policies in InfluxDB with Service principals & applications, Organizational units, Organizational contacts, Users in Active Directory field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, with the directory holding credentials and group membership and the database holding the source list of people who should exist at all, and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, resolving conflicts by rules you set. A person added to a table becomes an account within seconds, a departure disables one just as fast, and the directory's users and groups are always present in your tables as ordinary rows.
Common use cases
- 01 Write events from operational databases or applications into InfluxDB as time-stamped points for monitoring.
- 02 Replicate downsampled aggregates into a data warehouse for long-term BI beyond retention windows.
- 03 Read Devices and service principals into a database for identity, asset, and license inventory across the tenant.
- 04 Two-way sync Users and Groups between Microsoft Entra ID and an HRIS or Postgres so joiners, movers, and leavers provision and deprovision automatically.
Common sync patterns
Read users and groups as ordinary tables
Users, groups, and their memberships from Active Directory land in InfluxDB as rows your application and queries can join, so authorization checks and access reporting run against the database instead of the directory API.
Keep group and role membership aligned
A group or role change made in either system updates the other, so the entitlements an application enforces match what the directory grants.
One profile, kept current
A name, department, email, or manager corrected in either system updates the other, so the profile the directory shows and the data the application reads stop drifting apart.
What you can sync between Active Directory and InfluxDB
Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.
| Active Directory objects | InfluxDB objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Devices Registered and joined device objects; typically read into a database for inventory and compliance reporting. | Buckets / databases Named containers with retention settings that scope reads and writes. | Devices is specific to Active Directory and Buckets / databases to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Directory roles Admin role assignments (directoryRole); read for access reviews and least-privilege governance. | Measurements The table-like grouping for points, typically mapped to a synced dataset. | Directory roles is specific to Active Directory and Measurements to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Service principals & applications App registrations and enterprise apps; read-mostly for entitlement and license inventory. | Points Individual time-stamped records, the unit of write via line protocol. | Service principals & applications is specific to Active Directory and Points to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Organizational units On-prem AD DS containers (LDAP organizationalUnit) used to scope which users and groups a sync includes. | Tags Indexed key-value metadata used for filtering and as sync partition keys. | Organizational units is specific to Active Directory and Tags to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Organizational contacts Directory contact objects (orgContact); synced for shared address-book and CRM person records. | Fields The unindexed numeric or string values carried by each point. | Organizational contacts is specific to Active Directory and Fields to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Users User accounts in Entra ID and on-prem AD DS; synced two-way to create, update attributes, and enable or disable accounts. | Retention policies Automatic expiry rules that determine how long synced history remains queryable. | Users is specific to Active Directory and Retention policies to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Active Directory and InfluxDB
Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.
Active Directory InfluxDB Sub-second propagation
DetectionActive Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (change tracking) for Users and Groups, plus change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) for near-real-time triggers.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to InfluxDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
InfluxDB Active Directory Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls InfluxDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling with time-range queries.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Active Directory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Active Directory: Graph throttles by resource-unit cost per app per tenant in 10-second windows (about 3,500–8,000 units by tenant size); directory delta tokens expire after ~7 days.
- InfluxDB: Subject to the platform's API rate limits on cloud plans; self-hosted deployments are bounded by hardware.

How the Active Directory and InfluxDB connectors work
Active Directory
- Integration surface
- Microsoft Graph REST API (Entra ID / cloud) and LDAP/LDAPS (on-premises AD DS)
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform — an app registration with application or delegated permissions (e.g. User.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All) and admin consent; on-prem AD DS uses a bound service account over LDAPS.
- Change detection
- Microsoft Graph delta query (change tracking) for Users and Groups, plus change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) for near-real-time triggers; on-prem AD DS uses the DirSync control and uSNChanged polling.

FAQ
Active Directory and InfluxDB integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Active Directory and InfluxDB: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Active Directory's Devices and Directory roles), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Change detection on Active Directory: Microsoft Graph delta query (change tracking) for Users and Groups, plus change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) for near-real-time triggers; on-prem AD DS uses the DirSync control and uSNChanged polling. On InfluxDB: Polling with time-range queries; data is timestamped, so incremental reads use time cursors. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the InfluxDB side: Points, Tags, Fields, Retention policies, plus custom fields where InfluxDB exposes them. On the Active Directory side: Service principals & applications, Organizational units, Organizational contacts, Users. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
-
Common patterns for Active Directory and InfluxDB: Read users and groups as ordinary tables; Keep group and role membership aligned; One profile, kept current. Users, groups, and their memberships from Active Directory land in InfluxDB as rows your application and queries can join, so authorization checks and access reporting run against the database instead of the directory API.
