We’re running influxdb cloud 2.0. We have an issue where we delete timestamps for a given measurement via the node js api, I double check on the data explorer that the data is deleted. Then 12 hours later (overnight) the data re-appears with only some fields populated. I then delete the data again and it is deleted forever.
Could there be some overnight job which re-adds the data ?
The bucket settings are as follows: Retention: Forever, Schema Type: Implicit.
Thanks for any help, we’ve found influxdb otherwise to be a great tool.
Hello @alex_blaza,
Welcome!
Hmm that is weird. My guess is that its a bug in the UI and not the actual DB.
Like if you were to query with an API or CLI you wouldn’t see that data after you delete it.
Are you relying on the UI?
Can you take a moment to test my hypothesis please?
Sorry for the very slow reply ! We delete using the javascript API but I checked using the linux api as well and we have the issue in both cases.
We are using the cloud UI and the JS API to check the data.
I am also facing the same issue where the data reappears in the measurements shortly after deletion. Have you found the root cause or any solution for this?
Hi @G_shashank_Reddy
Sorry for the slow reply. We haven’t found a solution. I think the problem with us is that we have a field which often contains a very long string. Do you have something similar in your data model ?
What we do now is we have a script that detects the undeleted data and then we manually delete it the 2nd time.
