InfluxDB is no longer used since historical graph and charts were removed, but it is still used for storing "notable" events, namely "Slashed" and "IncorrectCFragVerdict", over a period to then display in the "Events" tab, see https://github.com/nucypher/nucypher-monitor/pull/57. Influxdb was used for this purpose because it was already available, but it doesn't have to be.
A plus moving forward is that we have the nucypher subgraph used for the Staking UI that potentially could be leveraged for historical information if needed, maybe including events - but that would need to be addressed in a separate issue.
