Closes#588
* docs(influxdb3): Docker Compose optional plugin directory
- Added inline comments to Docker Compose examples: `# Optional: only
needed for processing engine plugins`
- Appears for both `--plugin-dir` flag and volume mount
- Helps users understand they can skip this if not using plugins
- Better progressive disclosure - users see it's optional without
needing separate explanation
* docs(influxdb3): Replace --plugin-filename with --path
- Uses `--path` for plugins, replacing deprecated `--plugin-filename`
- Replaces "Data write" with "WAL rows" to be consistent with CLI help
docs
* Update content/shared/influxdb3-get-started/processing-engine.md
* fix(deps): add missing yarn.lock updates for puppeteer
The puppeteer dependency was added to package.json in commit 784956a31
but yarn.lock was not updated, causing CI failures with --frozen-lockfile.
* chore(deps): upgrade puppeteer to 24.35.0
- Upgrade puppeteer from 23.11.1 to 24.35.0
- Fix deprecated page.waitForTimeout() - replaced with Promise/setTimeout
- Fix deprecated headless: 'new' - now just uses headless boolean
The 'new' headless mode is now the default in Puppeteer 24.
Closes influxdata/dar/issues/587

* fix(influxdb3): broken links and aliases:
The link in the cloud-serverless schema-design page was pointing to /influxdb3/cloud-serverless/reference/line-protocol/#duplicate-points, but the actual file is located at /influxdb3/cloud-serverless/reference/syntax/line-protocol/
Core/Ent3 aliases were missing trailing slash, preventing navigating directly from other product line protocol docs
* chore: cleanup

* chore: Standard exclude comment format to denote flags, options, etc. that shouldn't be promoted in docs
* chore: exclude internal flags
* chore: Add docs:exclude comments for internal CLI flags, fix linting
- Note internal options that should be ignored by `docs audit` and authors.
- Remove character escaping from GitHub callouts and placeholders
Lint config changes:
- Add explicit exclude for content/**/*.md in lint-markdown-instructions
- Exclude all markdown files from Prettier formatting
Fixes issue where remark-lint was auto-formatting content files and
escaping special characters like [!Note] callouts and underscores.
* fix: cleanup escaping
* chore: 3.7 update
* fix(influxdb3): influxdb3 3.7 release:
- Avoid use of "retention policy" except for the storage engine
- User guide: specific heading, active voice
- Use SOURCE

* 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.
- Adds /reference/internals/data-retention/ for data retention behavior and retention period details
- admin/databases and admin/tables:
- Adds examples for API and retention period
- Adds cautions and behavior notes for Core retention
- reference/cli/influxdb3: Adds usage examples and details
- Closes /influxdata/DAR/issues/548
- Updated /content/influxdb3/core/reference/cli/influxdb3/serve.md with 84 Core-compatible options
- Excluded 21 Enterprise-only options (like cluster-id, license-email, license-file, mode, compaction options, clustering options, etc.)
- All options now link to the Core configuration documentation
- Fixed the environment variables link to point to Core instead of Enterprise
2. Updated Enterprise serve.md Options Section
- Updated /content/influxdb3/enterprise/reference/cli/influxdb3/serve.md with all 105 configuration options
- Includes both Core and Enterprise-only options
- Maintains proper required option markers for node-id and cluster-id
- All options link to the Enterprise configuration documentation
3. Verified Content Consistency
- Core serve.md: Contains examples without cluster-id parameter (appropriate for Core)
- Enterprise serve.md: Contains examples with both node-id and cluster-id parameters, plus Enterprise-specific mode examples
- Both maintain consistent structure and troubleshooting sections appropriate to their respective products
- Environment variables sections correctly reference their respective configuration documentation
4. Allow Vale to accept "parquet" in lowercase when it appears in:
- Command-line options (e.g., --parquet-mem-cache-size)
- Hyphenated configuration names (e.g., parquet-mem-cache-prune-interval)
- Code blocks or inline code (e.g., `parquet`)
Key Changes Made:
- Core: Now includes 84 options (was 69), excluding Enterprise-only features
- Enterprise: Now includes all 105 options (was 78), comprehensive coverage
- Alphabetical ordering: Both option tables are now properly alphabetized
- New options added: Many previously missing options like buffer-mem-limit-mb, tcp-listener-file-path, telemetry-*, wal-replay-*, etc.
- Proper segregation: Core users no longer see Enterprise-only configuration options
- Vale allows Parquet or parquet in the appropriate context
- Fixesinfluxdata/DAR#515: discourages the use of a leading underscore in database and table names in all InfluxDB 3 versions, but doesn't disallow it
- Add detailed naming restrictions reference for all InfluxDB 3 versions
- Add basic guidelines in table and database creation guides.
- Core and Ent table guides are forthcoming in a separate PR
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 "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
