Downgrade V2 to V1

Hello,

I have used influxdbv2 but there are many compatibility problems.

So I want to downgrade to V1.
Is there any way like export/import csv, telegraf or any thing else?
The DB has 170GB

Thanks for any hint.

There is no set way, you can try exporting and then importing. Btw have you considered upgrading to InfluxDB v3?

I tried to export V2 and import into V3 using line code export, ie text.
I stopped export after several hours as the data blew up to 10x the database size still with no end in sight.
So I am tempted to say: No, no CSV, line etc export.

Don’t think the DBs are binary compatible in any way either, so unless someone writes a converter, I’d say that there is no way.

We are working on migration tool but it’s not out yet. Another way would be to write a client side code and then use the library to read and write data to the new database.
