usage.limits() function

usage.limits() is experimental and subject to change at any time.

usage.limits() returns a record containing usage limits for an InfluxDB Cloud organization.

Example output record

{
    orgID: "123",
    rate: {
        readKBs: 1000,
        concurrentReadRequests: 0,
        writeKBs: 17,
        concurrentWriteRequests: 0,
        cardinality: 10000,
    },
    bucket: {maxBuckets: 2, maxRetentionDuration: 2592000000000000},
    task: {maxTasks: 5},
    dashboard: {maxDashboards: 5},
    check: {maxChecks: 2},
    notificationRule: {maxNotifications: 2, blockedNotificationRules: "comma, delimited, list"},
    notificationEndpoint: {blockedNotificationEndpoints: "comma, delimited, list"},
}
Function type signature
(?host: string, ?orgID: string, ?token: string) => A

Parameters

host

InfluxDB Cloud region URL. Default is "".

(Required if executed outside of your InfluxDB Cloud organization or region).

orgID

InfluxDB Cloud organization ID. Default is "".

Examples

Get rate limits for your InfluxDB Cloud organization

import "experimental/usage"

usage.limits()

Get rate limits for a different InfluxDB Cloud organization

import "experimental/usage"
import "influxdata/influxdb/secrets"

token = secrets.get(key: "INFLUX_TOKEN")

usage.limits(
    host: "https://us-west-2-1.aws.cloud2.influxdata.com",
    orgID: "x000X0x0xx0X00x0",
    token: token,
)

Output organization limits in a table

import "array"
import "experimental/usage"

limits = usage.limits()

array.from(
    rows: [

            limit: limits.bucket.maxRetentionDuration,
        },

            limit: limits.notificationRule.maxNotifications,
        },
    ],
)

Output current cardinality with your cardinality limit

import "experimental/usage"
import "influxdata/influxdb"

limits = usage.limits()
bucketCardinality = (bucket) =>
    (influxdb.cardinality(bucket: bucket, start: time(v: 0))
        |> findColumn(fn: (key) => true, column: "_value"))[0]

buckets()
    |> filter(fn: (r) => not r.name =~ /^_/)
    |> map(fn: (r) => ({bucket: r.name, Cardinality: bucketCardinality(bucket: r.name)}))
    |> sum(column: "Cardinality")
    |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with "Cardinality Limit": limits.rate.cardinality}))
