InfluxDB Anti-Entropy API

Note: The Anti-Entropy API is available from the meta nodes and is only available when the Anti-Entropy service is enabled in the data node configuration settings. For information on the configuration settings, see Anti-Entropy settings.

Use the Anti-Entropy service in InfluxDB Enterprise to monitor and repair entropy in data nodes and their shards. To access the Anti-Entropy API and work with this service, use influxd-ctl entropy (also available on meta nodes).

InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise are now in Beta

InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise are now available for beta testing, available under MIT or Apache 2 license.

InfluxDB 3 Core is a high-speed, recent-data engine that collects and processes data in real-time, while persisting it to local disk or object storage. InfluxDB 3 Enterprise is a commercial product that builds on Core’s foundation, adding high availability, read replicas, enhanced security, and data compaction for faster queries. A free tier of InfluxDB 3 Enterprise will also be available for at-home, non-commercial use for hobbyists to get the full historical time series database set of capabilities.
