Hello,

At the institution where I work, we monitor our systems with Centreon and store metrics in InfluxDB. Recently, we are having CRITICAL alerts with the message: Writes Error: 3.15/s  
I am not an InfluxDB or Centreon expert and the technician who set up the system is no longer available.  
The check threshold is 3 and reviewing the previous graphs the value was 2.5/s in average.  
Is it normal to have these errors? If it is, what would be the threshold at which we should be concerned?

Regards,  
emeck

Hello @emeck,  
What version of InfluxDB are you using?  
How are you setting up the checks?
