Influxdb as main Hass.io db

Configuration

I dont know if this is possible
buth how can you convert the complete internal db to influxdb so that it can work with grafana
Do i have to convert the existing database or does there exist a tool to add this internal db to grafana?
i would like to control all sensors in influxdb, if possible

otherwise if not only certain sensors like powermanagement for making monthly graphs

It’s not possible

You can however send the data you need to Influx - see https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/influxdb

Hi tinkerer

Thanks for the swift respons
I quickly read the influx link you provided.
if im correct i can send certain entitys to this influx.
i know how to connect influx with grafana so this would not be a problem :slight_smile: .

My main concern is in this setup data duplication
Currently my internal db is 4gb big and hassio is only running for 2 weeks (really this concerns me what does it al store???)
So if i setup an influx would there be data duplication or not?
or even better would it be stored ONLY on the influx db and not on the internal db

is there a way to view the internal db?
make it smaller perhaps?

Sure, you can exclude entities and reduce the number of days you keep it for, see the recorder docs.

Hi i just was looking op the recorder functionµ
Installed the sql lite addon and saw a lot of useles (like sun.sun) entities that recorded like hell

i will look into this further by the recorder option for maken the db smaller
the grafana/influxpart if i shrinked the db enough i will allow de duplication in influx

many thanks
i see this case as closed!!
