In the spirit of new year's resolutions, InfluxData has put together some advice for working with InfluxDB, maintaining a healthy database, and discovering new tools like Chronograf. Downsampling high precision data can improve query performance, eliminate storage concerns, and enhance graphing tool performance by removing unnecessary data from the database. Focusing on series cardinality is crucial to maintain database health, as extremely high cardinality can kill the InfluxDB process, and strategies such as monitoring, managing, and setting limits can help mitigate this issue. Chronograf offers an application-based view of infrastructure, data visualizations, and a user interface for Kapacitor, simplifying the monitoring solution and allowing users to get started with a free trial. Additionally, InfluxData is offering downloads for the TICK-stack, deploying on servers or cloud platforms, and sharing customer testimonials.
