Hello

Thanks for the answers.

"The admin UI is difficult to maintain because of browser compatibility
issues. Use the CLI, which is much more predictable and receives regular
updates." and "the CLI is generally a better user experience for most other
tasks."

This also suddenly means we have to give cli access to users who previously
didn't have cli access. Users who aren't confident in using command line
interfaces... My personal feeling is that removing the admin ui is a step
back. Even if it didn't have all the possibilities of the cli, at least it
presented extra options to superusers.

I'll give Chronograf a try when I find some time, but my guess is that
Chronograf is not able to create databases and users, grant permissions,
make continuous queries or retention policies..?

I can understand the issue of feature attention for query creation and
visualization, but maybe it might be an idea to make the admin ui a
separate GitHub project or so? That way admin ui feature requests etc
wouldn't interfere with InfluxDB development.. And about the browser
compatibility issues => I never had any user complaining about browser
issues with the admin ui.

I do have several users who are happy with the admin ui.
