Downgrade InfluxDB
This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. InfluxDB 3 Core is the latest stable version.
To downgrade from InfluxDB 2.7 to a previous 2.x version,
use the influxd downgrade command to downgrade the metadata schema used by
influxd to match the metadata schema of a older release.
InfluxDB does not guarantee backwards-compatibility with older releases in its embedded metadata stores.
Attempting to start an older influxd binary with a BoltDB or SQLite file that has
been migrated to a newer schema will result in a startup error similar to:
Error: up: reading migrations: migration "...": migration specification not found
To downgrade from InfluxDB 2.7 to a previous 2.x version:
Run
influxd downgradeusing the 2.7influxdbinary. Specify the previous InfluxDB version to downgrade to. For example, to downgrade to InfluxDB 2.0:influxd downgrade 2.0Install the earlier version of InfluxDB by following the InfluxDB v2 installation instructions.
Start InfluxDB with the earlier versioned
influxdbinary.
