Should be able to disable admin API

[jvshahid]

is there a way to completely disable the admin interface ?
if not is there a way to bind it to a specific ip address ?

as a temporary solution omitting the admin table in configuration result in binding the server to port 0 which obviously fails ;)

Ah yes, this is definitely something we should support. Added to 0.5.0 milestone.

why not simply consider that if the admin section is missing it should not be enabled ?

I'm not clear what's your question, this issue was closed by a different change. You can see the end result here: https://github.com/influxdb/influxdb/blob/master/config.toml.sample#L17 Basically if the port isn't set then non-ssl binding is disabled. If ssl-port is not set then ssl binding is disabled. If the entire section is missing then the admin interface will be disabled.

Actually I was talking about the api section, but the admin section has the same rules. If the port isn't set, binding doesn't take place.

it answers my question then, I thought this changeset was the one closing the issue, that's... confusing xD
