How can i reduce the memory footprint of influxdb ?
What are the configurable parameters to do so ?
Maybe leveldb cache size ? How ?

Give us some details:

  1. How much memory is your Influx application using?

  2. How are you measuring this?

  3. How much memory is there in the system it’s running on?

  4. What operating system is it running on?

  5. Does the memory usage remain constant or does it change over a period of
    time?

  6. How much data are you storing in InfluxDB?

  7. How quickly are you writing new data into InfluxDB?

  8. What do you mean by “too much” (memory) - what problem is caused by Influx’s
    memory usage?

If you can think of any other information about your system which would help
us to understand what it’s doing, pleae let us know that too.

  1. How much memory is your Influx application using?
    9GB Virtual Memory ; Resident Memory makes jumps , harder to say

  2. How are you measuring this?
    top/htop

  3. How much memory is there in the system it’s running on?
    8G

  4. What operating system is it running on?
    FreeBSD

  5. Does the memory usage remain constant or does it change over a period of
    time?
    Resident fluctuates

  6. How much data are you storing in InfluxDB?
    Connected to Prometheus&Telegraf&Netdata monitoring

  7. How quickly are you writing new data into InfluxDB?
    Each 5 seconds

  8. What do you mean by “too much” (memory) - what problem is caused by Influx’s
    memory usage?
    Influxd is the process on the system that eats the most memory
    (together with the web browser)
    So system goes quickly swapping.
