Upgrade from v2 to v3 (Ubuntu)

,

Hi there,

we currently use Influx v2 (on Ubuntu 22.04) and want to upgrade to v3. As there is currently no migration tool, is there an other practical way for doing so?

Thanks

We are working on a tool internally, however for now you will have to do it manually by exporting the data from v2 and importing using cli into v3. Let me know if any other questions etc. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick answer.

So which is the right way for exporting the data from v2 so that it can be imported into v3?

You can run command to export in v2 like : influxd inspect export-lp and then using influxdb3 cli write that line protocol data:

influxdb3 write
–database DATABASE_NAME
–token AUTH_TOKEN
–file /path/to/your/exported_data.lp

Also depend on the data size, good to do it in batches.

Thank you for the answer, I will give it a try.
