I was doing some preparation to migrate my InfluxDB data to a different host, and I realized that I've been storing metrics since 2020.
* From sensors I no longer have
* From hosts that have been long decommissioned
* From a house that I no longer live
And yet, it hurts me to think of all the data I *should* be cleaning up. Not even corporate infrastructure metrics live that long.
I need to seriously reflect on how to let that go...
@badnetmask Can relate. You鈥榬e not alone 馃槄
@badnetmask Hush Mauricio, there is no reason to worry about this data. Leave it be. It is just a few GB, isn't it? And just imagine, three years down the line, you want to make comparisons between your previous house and the current one? And then you don't have the data anymore? 馃榿
Keep it. You know you want to. 馃槆 馃榿
@mmeier
I was thinking about it, and the best I have done is compare "last year". I'm thinking a 2.5 years history might be enough.
