High CPU usage by influxdb

Are there any restrictions on any of the containers? Do you have dedicated SSD storage for influxdb containers? Have you looked at dashboards for influxdb’s internal metrics? I took a quick look at the metrics and see some fields for query response times. Just speaking generically, your database should be able to cache a lot of the often queried data in memory and should have at least 4 CPU cores just to start in production. How many queries are you running a second? The metrics has numbers for how many active queries there are.
