Hello everyone, I have a scenario with one InfluxDB and multiple users (belonging to the same organization) writing metrics into it. Each of these users should be able to access at least their own data, but not necessarily someone else's data.
I would like to know what the recommended ways are to deal with such cases: 1) multiple databases? how many databases can one influxDB instance handle? 2) tags? I have read that this is not recommended, due to the fact it's not possible to join by measurements, etc. 3) prefix the tenantId in the measurement (and one single db, multiple tenants) 4) fields? In the case of the "tenantID" as prefix to a measurement (which seems to be one of the recommended ways <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/influxdb/multi-tenant%7Csort:relevance/influxdb/-PsxC6Azl0U/n1EPXU3NpEkJ>), how do I prevent a tenant from querying metrics that should be private? For example, with the following data: tenant1.cpu.load.avg > tenant2.cpu.load.avg > both tentants could be able to execute a query like "Show measurements" and get data that they should not see. If I add a proxy to it, then I would lose the advantages that Influx provides, right? Assuming that the case (1) is feasible, how do you normally handle the reloading of the Influx configuration file? In one of my scenarios, this is necessary because you have to specify the database in the [graphite] section, and if a new user/database is created, then Influx needs to be restarted. Is there another way to do so? I would like to know how in general how to handle such use cases with Influx and Grafana. Do you have any resources about it?
