* fix(influxdb3): document exec-mem-pool-bytes usage for data persistence
Updates documentation to reflect that exec-mem-pool-bytes is used for both
query processing and parquet persistence operations, not just queries.
Based on source code analysis showing the memory pool is used by:
- Query executor for processing queries
- Persister for converting WAL data to Parquet format
Changes:
- Updated config description to include "data operations"
- Added memory usage info to durability docs for Parquet storage
- Added troubleshooting section for memory-related write performance
- Fixed capitalization of "object store" throughout
Addresses DAR #499
Source analysis: influxdb3/src/commands/serve.rs:772-798
Shows separate executors for queries and write path operations,
both using memory pools for data processing.
* fix(influxdb3): broken links to no-sync
* Closes#6509

* chore(docs): Add content/create.md tutorial page for the How to create your own documentation tutorial
chore(scripts): docs:create and docs:edit scripts for content creation and editing
Major improvements to docs:create UX for both Claude Code and external tool integration:
**New `docs` CLI command:**
- Add scripts/docs-cli.js - main CLI with subcommand routing
- Add bin field to package.json for `docs` command
- Usage: `docs create` and `docs edit` (cleaner than yarn commands)
**Smart piping detection:**
- Auto-detect when stdout is piped (\!process.stdout.isTTY)
- When piping: automatically output prompt text (no flag needed)
- When interactive: output prompt file path
- --print-prompt flag now optional (auto-enabled when piping)
**Specify products:**
- simplify link following behavior - treat relative paths as local files, all HTTP/HTTPS as external
- stdin now requires --products flag with product keys
- --products now accepts keys from products.yml (influxdb3_core, telegraf, etc.)
Examples:
--products influxdb3_core
--products influxdb3_core,influxdb3_enterprise
--products telegraf
**Usage examples:**
# Inside Claude Code - automatic execution
docs create drafts/new-feature.md
# Pipe to external AI - prompt auto-detected
docs create FILE --products X | claude -p
docs create FILE --products X | copilot -p
# Pipe from stdin
echo 'content' | docs create --products X | claude -p
Benefits:
- Cleaner syntax (no yarn --silent needed)
- No manual --print-prompt flag when piping
- Consistent with industry tools (git, npm, etc.)
- Backward compatible with yarn commands
WIP: docs:create usage examples
- Redesign of the docs CLI tools for creating and editing content
- Cleaner interface works better for piping output to agents and downstream utilities
- Updates README.md and other authoring docs
This repository includes a `docs` CLI tool for common documentation workflows:
```sh
npx docs create drafts/new-feature.md --products influxdb3_core
npx docs edit https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb3/core/admin/
npx docs placeholders content/influxdb3/core/admin/upgrade.md
npx docs --help
```
**Run test cases:**
```sh
npx docs test
```

* feat(ci): improve linting configuration for instruction files
- Add GitHub-flavored Markdown support with remark-gfm
- Create generic Vale config (.vale-instructions.ini) for instruction files
- Use pattern-based file inclusion instead of explicit file lists
- Mount repository to /workdir in remark-lint container to preserve node_modules
Changes:
- Add remark-gfm to .ci/remark-lint/package.json
- Create .remarkrc.yaml at repository root for instruction files
- Update content/.remarkrc.yaml to include remark-gfm
- Create .vale-instructions.ini for generic writing rules
- Update compose.yaml: mount repo to /workdir (preserves /app/node_modules)
- Update lefthook.yml: use glob patterns for uppercase .md files and .github/**/*.md
- Update DOCS-CONTRIBUTING.md: remove empty CONTRIBUTING.md directory reference
Benefits:
- Automatic inclusion of new instruction files without config updates
- Pattern matching for uppercase .md files (DOCS-*.md, CLAUDE.md, etc.)
- Coverage for .github/, .claude/, api-docs/ directories
- GFM features: tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks, footnotes
- Separate linting rules for instruction files vs product documentation
feat(lint): separate remark-lint auto-fix for instructions vs report-only for content
- Split lint-markdown into two hooks:
- lint-markdown-instructions: Auto-fixes README, DOCS-*.md, .github/**, .claude/**
- lint-markdown-content: Reports issues in content/**, api-docs/** without modifying
- Changed remark-lint volume mount from read_only: true to read_only: false
- Instruction files now behave like Prettier (auto-fix + stage)
- Content files report errors and block commits until manually fixed
* chore(instructions): Add content/shared details, husky/lefthook updates
* feat(influxdb3): Core/Enterprise: Upgrade instance or cluster:- Addresses recent internal requests for upgrade steps- Provide examples for Core or Enterprise single node (instance)- Provide steps recommended by Engineering and examples- Link from related pages

- Specify that catalog modification constraint applies when upgrading from v3.3.x (or earlier) to v3.4.x
- Add troubleshooting section noting that different version transitions may have different constraints
- Direct users to check release notes for version-specific upgrade requirements
Resolves review comment from hiltontj about catalog version boundaries.

* chore(enterprise_influxdb): specify Enterprise v1 and remove new signup notes:
- Removes instructions for new signups at portal.influxdata (at Marketing's request)
- Uses Enterprise v1 in titles and descriptions
- Updates title metadata template to use InfluxDB Enterprise v1
- Updates products.yml to use InfluxDB Enterprise v1
- Removes unused enterprise-name/-link shortcodes
I chose InfluxDB Enterprise v1 over InfluxDB v1 Enterprise due to recent usage patterns and because it's compatible with uses like "InfluxDB Enterprise 1.11.x" without being redundant.

* fix(influxdb3): config options in clustering.md
- Correctly place server options
- Comment out unreleased options
* feat(plugins): add automated plugin documentation sync workflow
- Add GitHub Actions workflow for syncing plugin docs from influxdb3_plugins
- Create issue template for triggering sync requests
- Add Node.js transformation script (port_to_docs.js) with ES modules
- Add mapping configuration (docs_mapping.yaml) for all official plugins
- Add npm scripts for plugin sync operations
- Include comprehensive documentation in helper-scripts/influxdb3-plugins/README.md
The workflow provides:
- Issue-triggered automation with no cross-repo secrets required
- Validation of source READMEs against template requirements
- Content transformation with Hugo shortcodes and GitHub URLs
- Screenshot generation for visual validation
- Automatic PR creation with detailed change summaries
* Updated source paths in docs_mapping.yaml to use ./influxdb3_plugins/ instead of ../influxdb3_plugins/ to match what the
GitHub Actions workflow expects when it clones the
repository:
1. GitHub Actions workflow clones to ./influxdb3_plugins/
2. docs_mapping.yaml references
./influxdb3_plugins/influxdata/[plugin]/README.md
3. Local development can manually clone the repo to the same
location for testing
Tupdated all the source paths in
docs_mapping.yaml to use ./influxdb3_plugins/ instead of
../influxdb3_plugins/. This now matches exactly what the
GitHub Actions workflow expects when it clones the
repository.
The paths are now consistent:
1. GitHub Actions workflow clones to ./influxdb3_plugins/
2. docs_mapping.yaml references
./influxdb3_plugins/influxdata/[plugin]/README.md
3. Local development can manually clone the repo to the same
location for testing
This resolves the inconsistency and makes the automation
more reliable. For local development, developers would
just need to run:
git clone
https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb3_plugins.git
From the docs-v2 root directory, and then they can use the
same paths that the automation uses.

* docs(cli): fix global vs serve-specific flag documentation
- Remove --verbose from global flags (it's serve-specific)
- Document --num-io-threads as global-only flag
- Add clear examples showing correct flag positioning
- Update serve.md files with global flag usage notes
- Fix config-options.md to separate Core/Enterprise examples
Resolves incorrect CLI usage patterns that would cause errors.
Global flags must go before 'serve', serve-specific flags go after.
* docs(cli): remove Tokio runtime options from CLI index pages
- Remove detailed Tokio runtime options tables from CLI index pages
- Replace with simplified global options and link to config-options
- Add examples showing correct global flag positioning
- Fix --verbose usage to be serve-specific (after serve command)
- Add --num-io-threads example as global flag (before serve command)
These detailed options are now documented in config-options.md with
proper global vs serve-specific categorization.
