I currently have prometheus set as an input, and im using influx for long term storage of my metrics.

When i query in influx the result is 2x of that in prometheus…

my telegraph config is as below, but i cant work out if this is due to the intervals or not… anyone had anything similar?

# Configuration for telegraf agent

[agent]  
interval = "10s"  
round\_interval = true  
metric\_batch\_size = 1000  
metric\_buffer\_limit = 10000  
collection\_jitter = "3s"  
flush\_interval = "10s"  
flush\_jitter = "5s"  
precision = ""  
debug = false  
quiet = true  
logfile = ""  
hostname = ""  
omit\_hostname = true

database = "prometheus"  
retention\_policy = ""  
write\_consistency = "any"  
timeout = “10s”

I’m not sure what could be going on, by 2x of that do you mean that a value of 2 from the source would be stored as a 4 in InfluxDB?

yes so if prometheus is display a value of 2 at time x then influx is showing 4 at time x… not sure if its pulling in the data twice… before i upgraded influx it was 5 times the amount… seems to grow over time…

Are you using an aggregation function when you query the data from InfluxDB? Perhaps multiple sources are being summed?
