Configure specialized cluster nodes

Learn how to configure specialized nodes in your InfluxDB 3 Enterprise cluster for ingest, query, compaction, and processing workloads with optimal thread allocation.

Run the Processing Engine in a cluster

Configure, start, and troubleshoot Processing Engine plugins in a multi-node InfluxDB 3 Enterprise cluster: how process nodes follow every ingester’s write-ahead log, how --node-spec selects owning schedulers, how runs place across nodes, and how to recognize common misconfiguration errors.

Manage the node lifecycle

Understand how an InfluxDB 3 Enterprise node moves through the running, stopping, stopped, and removing states—how to restart, stop, and permanently remove nodes, and how to keep Helm, Kubernetes, and Ansible deployments on the graceful shutdown path.

Distributed compaction

Run compaction jobs across every compact node in a cluster instead of only the node that holds the compactor lease, using influxdb3 serve --compactor-dispatch-target.

Recover a crashed node

Safely recover an InfluxDB 3 Enterprise node that crashed or was stopped without a graceful stop node: restart it with the same node ID, let it drain its write-ahead log (WAL), stop it gracefully, and then remove it.
