InfluxDB isn’t the best storage backend for NetData. It is much better to use VictoriaMetrics storage backend using the following config:
[backend]
type = prometheus_remote_write
destination = <victoria-metrics-host>:8428
remote write URL path = /api/v1/write
enabled = yes
VictoriaMetrics supports PromQL — much better query language than Flux from InfluxDB. See this article in order to feel the power of PromQL.
Additionally VictoriaMetrics uses less RAM, CPU and storage comparing to InfluxDB — see this and this article for details.
