InfluxDB: max-series-per-database incorrect error

3
votes

When trying to put some date into InfluxDB (1.7.3) I am getting error that max-series-per-database is reached:

(“error”:“partial write: max-series-per-database limit exceeded: (1000000) dropped=2")

Meanwhile show series exact cardinality for specific database shows that there are just around 510 000 entries.
Also select count(*) from database gives same result

Any idea I am getting error that max series per database is reached?

upd:
I am using open source version of InfluxDB without clustering
show series cardinality show almost the same result what exact cardinality does

Try increasing max-series-per-database configuration option and see if the error persists.

If you are using enterprise clustering, the exact cardinality may only count series on one region server, while another has the rest 490k series.

Are there other retention policies in the same database?

Also note, that error may be generated based on approximate cardinality.
