I've been using InfluxDB for almost a year now. At one point around 9 months ago I had given up on it because it was a bit crashy, and the database just was growing too fast. But the promise behind it was too compelling and I started experimenting with newer versions around 6 months ago and it has been just great! Much easier to deal with than Graphite/collectd/carbon, telegraf has not been eating our servers like collectd was, CPU usage is way down... Loving InfluxDB. Still need to implement annotations and SNMP polling in telegraf, but it is awesome. We are even pushing some application stats into it.
- pauldix 10y agoWe updated the SNMP plugin a few weeks ago. Was thanks to a contributor who has been super helpful. Does the updated one do what you need?
- imaginenore 10y agoPlease pay the guy. He is helping your product.
- rrhyne 10y agoSo, super obvious, but thought I'd just mention that influxdb is open source. It's likely that free version helped the contributor with his issue so he contributed back.
- imaginenore 10y agoYou don't think the enterprise users can use his work?
- tinco 10y agoEven if he contributed, I think it's likely that InfluxDB helped they contributor more than he helped InfluxDB.
- grey-area 10y agoThe implication of an MIT license is that anyone can use or sell your work with attribution. If the contributor was not happy with that, or unhappy with getting a free db worked on by other people, they simply wouldn't contribute. Since they did contribute on those terms, we have no reason to think they want to be paid. https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/blob/master/LICENSE
- tomd 10y ago'the guy'? 'he'?
- imaginenore 10y agoFor every woman on github there are 18.3 men. So yes, "he" way way more likely.
