Where is an advisory for small setup for monitoring collectd/influxdb/grafana

[f1outsourcing]

I would liket to use influxdb in a small setup. Data does not need to be long available (in ram). The grafana dashboard just show data of last 5 minutes. And if we need to have old data displayed, it can be slower, it does not need to come from ram.

I do not want to use GB’s of RAM nor lots of cpu cycles. I have Mysql and Postgres running on the same host. Who also do not consume much memory nor cpu. So why should I accept this from influxdb.

I am using influxdb because it supposed to be more efficient for time series data. So can anyone show me this is indeed the case with 256MB/512MB memory limit.

I would like to bring down the processor usage on influxdb-1.5.2-1.x86_64, how to trace what is going on?

asdfasdfasdfkasjdf;laksdfjasdfj Hello, Hello, what about an alternative time series database server that can do this? Or has better support?

I would like to bring down the memory usage on influxdb-1.5.2-1.x86_64 ( Out of memory: Kill process)

I would like to configure influxdb to use 512MB of memory. Is that even possible? How to do this? What can I do to bring back this memory usage? I am a bit worried that influxdb seems to be very inefficient in a small environment (at least the default configuration), I would be a ‘mess’ on a larger scale deployment. There are here lots of unhandled OOM issues: url Out Of memory when SELECT * FROM LIMIT 1 on 128GB host (Influxdb 1.2.4) url Memory usage on Low-end hardware url InfluxDB v1.3.1…

FYI there are already some posts on the ceph mailing lists advicing to use collectd/graphite/grafana instead of influxdb. Maybe you want to pay attention to small monitoring setups.
