Currently using internally for production level work. They need to spend serious time making it easier to diagnose issues when they happen.

The log is simply not verbose enough and when I hit issues with telegram, kapacitor and influxdb I have to open up a github issue having no idea what is causing the issue.

Still highly recommended they just need to spend time making it easier to identify common problems. It'll help reduce the number of github issues they have opened too.

I'm looking forward to trying it out. I used it at home to build a live weather site for my backyard weather station: https://mhkweather.com

The performance went way down when I moved my DB from a ext4 SSD volume to a four-disk ZFS magnetic volume. I expected some slowdown but not as much as I saw. Looking forward to trying 1.1 to see if it improves things.

Sweet. I had some 'getting oomkilled' problems with boundless queries back when I started using Influx for production early in the year, but it has been rock solid and performant since the later 0.1x releases.

> Support for regular expressions on field keys in the SELECT clause. For example, SELECT /cpu_\d/ FROM cpu

Woohoo! Very nice for making Grafana dashboards.

> The admin UI (port 8083) is now officially deprecated and disabled in this release

Ahh. I must be the only one using it, it gave kind of a good overview of all your collections. A bit of a pain to do from Grafana but oh well.

The admin UI was really good and they started to strip features away from it one by one and now it is disabled. It even could do simple graphs and was very useful for debugging.

That seems to be their uncommunicated plan - to attract users to open source version and then remove features to offer just with enterprise product. They have done it with clustering support where after attracting people with promises they then removed it from open source version. Grafana as a replacement? It really does different things.
