So, super obvious, but thought I'd just mention that influxdb is open source. It's likely that free version helped the contributor with his issue so he contributed back.
You don't think the enterprise users can use his work?

Want to hear more about your HTTP analytics. Particularly interested in collecting selenium/sitespeed.io-style page timing metrics. There are a million commercial solutions for this but so few open source options.
Glad you asked! I'm pretty proud of this hack :) uWSGI has a very flexible logging system. You can create a log with just requests, and completely customize the format of the line. On top of that, uWSGI supports creating multiple log targets, and supports logging directly into a UDP socket. If you make it match InfluxDB's line format ( https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.0/write_protocols/li... ), and you set up…

#55While talking about InfluxDB people should not forget about their beta release of clustering to attract more users and then making it just enterprise. And no, it's not an argument that this is the only way to get paid in open source. Users should be careful while adopting InfluxDB as Influxdata does not clearly elaborate their plans on the product.
One of the big problems in the TS world is that KX (KDB) charges an enormous fortune and all the wannabe competitors are salivating at grabbing some of that money.

It's worth noting that Prometheus isn't distributed either. So OSS InfluxDB or that are the same in terms of distributed capabilities.
We're looking into Cyanite as an alternative. It speaks the various Graphite protocols and feeds data into Cassandra, which takes care of the HA concerns. I haven't built it yet but I'm fairly certain we can run it in Kubernetes to make the entire stack HA. http://cyanite.io

We dropped InfluxDB after they introduced their enterprise version. Currently, we are running several nodes of Riemann/Cyanite/Cassandra. It works very well, integration is pretty straight forward.

Yeah, that's kinda a dick move. I was waiting for 1.0 before giving it another real go (after their decision to rewrite everything for 0.9). Looks like I'll be checking out something else now, maybe Prometheus[1] or DalmatinerDB[2] will fit the bill. 1. https://prometheus.io/ 2. https://dalmatiner.io/

There is currently no open source monitoring solutions that support more than a single node.
If you have serious infrastructure, you gotta move to the paid SaaS monitoring solutions which are ALL awesome.: https://www.datadoghq.com/ and https://signalfx.com/
Note: I am not affiliated with any of these services. I just have a very strong interest in nagios/icinga/riemann/graphite/grafana dying since my painful experience of setting up and maintaining them.

This is becoming problematic across the open source DB world. Witness the graph capabilities of Datastax Enterprise on top of Cassandra, and Riak TS also took quite a while to open source the "TS" version, hoping I guess to monetize without having to open source. This makes me worried about adopting in case I later get gotcha'd. I am really looking forward to a truly open source time series database. It's not that I…
