Hi, Telegraf will cache metrics until it reaches the metric_buffer_limit for each output, and will flush points from the buffer upon successful write. Oldest metrics are dropped first when this buffer fills. The metric_buffer_limit setting is configurable and can be tweaked to counter for longer network connectivity outages. Note that raising this value will raise the potential memory footprint for Telegraf. -- Remember to include the InfluxDB version number with all issue reports --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "InfluxDB" group.
