I'm running Influx 1.1.1 (and Telegraf 1.1.1), and have been collecting lots of data for a couple of weeks now.
I'd like to delete data from hosts that no longer exist (ie. aren't sending anything new), perhaps after (say) a week or so. That is, I'd like to: 1) Identify which hosts haven't sent any data for longer than time X 2) Delete all the data those hosts sent (but obviously nothing else) I've been playing with Retention Policies, but they seem to act on all data, so will happily remove things older than a certain amount, but not stuff younger than that which hasn't been updated. I'm guessing i'm going to be in to direct queries to do this (Influx queries are a bit new to me) - that being the case, if a query is going to be long/slow/expensive, then can I break it into pieces so it only deletes a chunk of data at a time? Anyone got an approach or some tips how I might achieve this sort of thing? -- Remember to include the version number! --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "InfluxData" group.
