- Restructure content flow to follow progressive disclosure principles
- Move index type decision to Important callout after basic upgrade steps
- Improve headings with active voice ("Switch index types anytime")
- Enhance callout formatting (Important, Tip, Warning callouts)
- Consolidate Enterprise upgrade information into dedicated section
- Improve information hierarchy and scanability
Changes are primarily formatting and phrasing improvements to enhance
developer experience and follow Google Developer Documentation best practices.
- Make TSI recommendation more actionable by explaining benefits (removes RAM limits, better performance for high-cardinality data)
- Fix "from to" grammar typos in index switching instructions
- Add specific scenarios for when to switch between TSI and inmem index types
- Remove "above" directional language per style guidelines
Source: Verified against InfluxDB v1 documentation via MCP docs verification
- TSI details: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1/concepts/tsi-details/
- TSI overview: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1/concepts/time-series-index/
Addresses customer confusion where scaling CPU alone doesn't improve
compactor performance. Compactor concurrency scales based on memory
allocation, not CPU count, so both resources should be scaled together.

fixes Docker environment variable configuration and Docker Compose examples for InfluxDB 3 Enterprise, along with several documentation improvements. The changes primarily address incorrect environment variable names and missing volume mounts in Docker setup examples.
Corrects the environment variable from INFLUXDB3_LICENSE_EMAIL to INFLUXDB3_ENTERPRISE_LICENSE_EMAIL across Enterprise documentation
Adds missing volume mounts to Docker Compose examples for both Core and Enterprise configurations
The influxdata-archive.key is designed to have a good user experience
during key rotations, but in order to do that, we need to properly
verify the key file's fingerprint and not its sha256sum (since the
primary key's fingerprint won't change with key rotations, but the
sha256sum necessarily will).
Update documentation for this to establish best practice and prepare
users for the upcoming key rotation.
Adjust dockerfiles to use this methodology.
- Verified precision behavior in source code. Added auto-detection note for all APIs: Added a note
explaining that InfluxDB 3 uses timestamp magnitude to
auto-detect precision by default, and users can specify
precision to avoid ambiguity.
- Fix allowed precision values\
- Add examples
Fix `create token --admin` name in frontmatter
Improve schedule trigger docs with more detail:
1. Core API documentation
(/api-docs/influxdb3/core/v3/ref.yml):
- Added missing duration units (weeks, months, years)
- Added "Maximum interval: 1 year"
2. Enterprise API documentation
(/api-docs/influxdb3/enterprise/v3/ref.yml):
- Added missing duration units (weeks, months, years)
- Added "Maximum interval: 1 year"
3. CLI reference documentation
(/content/shared/influxdb3-cli/create/trigger.md):
- Added complete list of supported duration units
- Added "Maximum interval is 1 year" note
All documentation now consistently reflects:
- The complete set of supported duration units for
every triggers
- The 1-year maximum limit for interval-based
scheduling
- Clear examples showing the syntax

- Updates affected links
Migrates v1 OSS and Enterprise sections from the DockerHub README into new pages in docs-v2.
- Add a new section page for Installing and running with Docker.o
1. Created main Docker installation page (docker.md) with:
- Complete Docker setup instructions for Enterprise clusters
- Environment variable configuration options
- Persistent storage examples
- Network setup guidance
- License key requirements using GitHub note callout syntax
2. Enhanced existing installation pages:
- Added Docker installation sections to both meta and data node installation
pages
- Updated the main installation index to include Docker as an option
3. Created Docker troubleshooting guide (docker-troubleshooting.md) with:
- Common Docker-specific issues and solutions
- Debugging commands and best practices
- Positioned next to the Docker installation guide
4. Added proper cross-references:
- Used related frontmatter to link Docker installation to troubleshooting
- Updated navigation and references throughout
The migration preserves all the essential Docker README content while
integrating it properly into the existing InfluxDB Enterprise v1 documentation
structure, following the project's style guidelines and conventions.

Resolves issue #6161 with InfluxDB 3.2 API reference updates.
## API Reference Updates
- Add `hard_delete_at` parameter to database and table deletion endpoints for scheduled hard deletion
- Add update database and update table endpoints with retention period configuration
- Add license endpoint response schema
- Fix request trigger specification format from `path:` to `request:` in Core API
- Fix OpenAPI schema validation error in Enterprise API by removing conflicting type declaration
## Processing Engine Documentation Fixes
- Standardize terminology across documentation:
- "Data write" (not "WAL flush" or "On WAL flush")
- "Scheduled" (not "On Schedule")
- "HTTP request" (not "On Request")
- Fix placeholder inconsistencies: use REQUEST_PATH instead of ENDPOINT_PATH
- Add Enterprise-specific warnings about request trigger format differences
- Update trigger specification format in Enterprise API to use JSON object format
- Add proper table of contents with consistent structure
- Improve distributed cluster configuration documentation
## Enterprise Request Trigger Bug Documentation
Due to a bug in InfluxDB 3 Enterprise, the request trigger specification format differs between CLI and API:
- CLI: `request:<REQUEST_PATH>` (same as Core CLI and API)
- Enterprise API: `{"request_path": {"path": "<REQUEST_PATH>"}}`
This difference is now properly documented with warnings in all relevant sections.
