Hi Gordon, We are using the influxDB backend and we have our retention policies set to:
Every minute for an hour Every 10 minutes for a day Every hour for a year Currently we hover around 8,000 instances. We understand the influxDB driver was taken out of gnocchi, bit annoyed as it wasn’t mentioned on the operators list. We currently have just got it working with version 2.1 of gnocchi and are keen to see if it can be added back into gnocchi. We already use influxDB for other non openstack stuff and so would rather use that as opposed to adding yet another system. Would be interested to know what other operators use gnocchi and what backend they use.
