<a name="integrationg_how-services-use-secrets_TIME"></a>

Timestream for InfluxDB is a managed time-series database engine that makes it easy for you to run InfluxDB databases on AWS for real-time time-series applications using open-source APIs. With Timestream for InfluxDB, you can set up, operate, and scale time-series workloads that can answer queries with single-digit millisecond query response time. 

When you create a Timestream for InfluxDB database, Timestream automatically creates a secret to store the admin credentials.
