Using influx with maria db

I have my recorder sent to a NAS-based Mariadb and want to use that data in Influx (and later in Grafana) but I can’t seem to find documentation on how this would work. Is what I’m trying to do even supported?

The influxdb database integration runs parallel to the Home Assistant database. So once installed influxdb will be recording identical data to your MariaDB.

That seems to defeat the purpose of having the database off the sdcard for performance/write concerns.

:man_shrugging: That’s how it works.

You can set up infludb externally, e.g. on your NAS as well.

I’ll look into that, thank you.
