Hello,
I am collecting operational data and of a dozen machines in InfluxDB
(several series like temperature, pressure, power, etc.with unique machine
tag keys).
These machines are located in "wild" and mainly connected to the internet
via GSM (edge, 3G).
Connection is often slow and unreliable. For this reason, I am caching data
locally and try to send it to the central server, every 5min (json).
Sometimes, the GSM connection is lost for a longer period of time. In such
cases I just push the previous 24h data, once re-connected to the internet.
To sync an outage of several days is overkill via GSM. Currently, this data
is basically lost.
For that reason I plan to run a local InfluxDB instance in the "wild", too.
Here I have a few question, but couldn't find a proper answer, yet.
1. Sure, I could locally query data and push it to the central server, as I
do today. But, I wonder, if there is a better method?
- Does the commercial version allow partly automatic replication?
- Would Kapacitor maybe helpful in this matter?
2. Let's assume GSM was disconnected for a month and no data of this period
was send to the central server. Some time later, I have physical access to
the machine.
I think somewhere on github I read, that I can't take an 'influxd
backup' on a flash stick and restore it later on the central server, since
the meta data of all other machines would be overwritten. Is this still
true? Is there a workaround?
And in general, what's best practice or your recommendation for such
special scenarios?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Michael
