Hi community,
I plan to offer a commercial service (public sector, OSS is mandatory). It includes several wireless (LoRaWAN) sensors sending their data (via telegraf) into an influxdb.
I want to assure as much as possible that:
- I don’t loose any data in the database
- all sensor data is written to the database
- database is always available to read data by downstream tools (e.g. Grafana)
Currently I’m doing daily backups of the database and store it safely.
But maybe I should do more. Some thoughts:
- Running 2 instances of influxdb on different servers and let telegraf fill both databases with the same data?
- Instead of sending the same data to both instances of influxdb, copy (e.g. ones a day) all data from one database to the other?
- Kind of failover strategy between both influxdb instances?
- …
I’m not sure what is actually helpful or worth the effort. I was not able to find documentation about this topic in the influx docs.
Do you have any advice or a link to some information around this topic?
!
