Influx TSM - Migration 30 to 40 TB of Data

InfluxDB 2
1

Hi there!

We are currently using an InfluxDB 2.x Cloud TSM instance on AWS.

Now, our customer wants to migrate the InfluxDB 2.x from one server to another as a same InfluxDB 2.x. The total data could be around 30 to 40 TB.

For that I have done a lot of research on that, but end up in some of the following options

  1. Influx backup and restore - Which only have the option to backup and restore the entire data, which is practically not possible for the data we have.
  2. Influx Telegraf - Which one the wonderful tools in InfluxDB, but it does not have an Input Plugin for its own InfluxDB. It has only the output plugin.
  3. Influx query and write - Which is the option currently we have in our hands - as it supports to write across server, ORG and etc. But the cons are it is much slower and the files or .lp format is much larger than the actual data - which forces us to increase the infra we have.
  4. Influxd inspect backup -lp - same as the Influx query and write.

If you have any solution for the above scenario kindly update them ASAP.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Those are valid conclusions.
