How to store Influxdb data to SD card

[mildlyjonathan]

Hi there, does anyone know how to specify storage of influxdb data to the sd card?

As your question is quite general please tell us some more

• Where is your data base tool located?
• Are you creating an own app running on a ctrlX CORE?
• Are you using our ctrlX CORE - InfluxDB App?

we are using node-red for data acquistion and then storing it to ctrlx-core influxdb app, we realised that its storing to the ctrlx core on-board storage and was wondering if its possible to store it onto a SD card instead.

Thanks for the help, we greatly appreciate it

Hello, 

You have to:

1. insert your device
2. format it as EXT4
3. mount it
4. modify the influxdb configuration, upload it and activate it 
5. reboot

I just updated my how-to to include this part:   IIoT: Use ctrlX CORE as a monitoring platform usin...  

Follow the steps and you should be able to  do it.
