Looking for the "canonical" way to aggregate from multiple influxdb instances to a main/server one

Hi there.

I’m using a recent OSS version, and need multiple instances of InfluxDb to “phone home” with their data. The “client” InfluxDb instances will be doing this periodically, and will not have a stable, continuous connection. The “server” instance can be assumed to be online at all times.

What is the intended/canonical way to do this?

Do I run some script to use the Influx CLI to send backups or similar? Is there a telegraf plugin to do this?

It would be amazing if the method allowed some filtering on the outgoing data…

Thanks!

@Kristian_Lund This is exactly what Edge Data Replication (EDR) was designed for. You can learn more about it in the EDR documentation.
