chore(ci): Replaced PR link validation workflow with new workflow from docs-tooling/link-checker/.github-workflows-link-check.yml
chore: organize .gitignore
test: add content to trigger link-checker workflow
This small change tests the pr-link-check.yml workflow
feat: update link-checker workflow and documentation
- Add production config with corrected User-Agent placement
- Remove old link validation actions (replaced by link-checker)
fix: update link-checker workflow configuration
- Update Node.js version to 20 for dependency compatibility
feat: use pre-built link-checker binary from docs-tooling releases
- Replace building from source with downloading from releases
- Use GitHub API to get latest release and binary
- Maintain same artifact structure for downstream job
fix: improve change detection in pr-link-check workflow
- Use GitHub API for reliable PR file detection
- Add debug output to show all changed files
- Fix conditional logic for when jobs should run
docs: update TESTING.md with binary distribution and automated GitHub Actions integration
- Document pre-built binary download as recommended installation method
- Explain automated PR link checking workflow for docs-v2
- Replace manual GitHub Actions example with automated integration details
- Remove exaggerated language and specify actual exclusion types
fix(ci): download link-checker binary from docs-v2 releases
- Change binary source from private docs-tooling to public docs-v2 releases
- Fixes GitHub Actions permission issues accessing private repos
- Binary is now stored as a release asset on docs-v2 itself
test: add test file with valid links to verify workflow passes
test: remove temporary test file for link checker workflow
The test file was only needed to verify the workflow functionality
and should not be part of the documentation.
docs: update TESTING.md to document docs-v2 binary distribution
- Change primary installation method to download from docs-v2 releases
- Explain that binary distribution enables reliable GitHub Actions access
- Update automated workflow description to reflect docs-v2 release usage
- Maintain build-from-source as alternative option
refactor(ci): combine workflow into single job for cleaner PR display
- Merge detect-changes, build-site, and download-link-checker into single job
- All setup steps now run conditionally within one job
- Cleaner PR display shows only 'Check links in affected files'
- Maintains all functionality with improved UX
fix(ci): exclude problematic URLs from link checking
- Add reddit.com exclusions (blocks bots)
- Add support.influxdata.com exclusion (SSL certificate issues in CI)
- Prevents false positive failures in automated link checking

Address reidkaufmann's review comments on query timeout documentation:
Technical accuracy fixes:
- Replace "node/nodes" terminology with "querier/queriers" throughout
- Remove AI hallucination: "query result caching" (doesn't exist in IOx)
- Replace with proper cache recommendations for Enterprise/Core users
- Remove vague "background maintenance" references
- Add specific compaction performance variation cause
- Fix "round-robin or load-balanced" → "round-robin query routing"
Content improvements:
- Enhance checkout line analogy with explanation of noisy neighbors
- Add experimental query guidance for reducing impact on other users
- Replace unactionable solutions with customer-controllable actions
- Restore missing flexibility recommendations and link to the code sample
Technical updates:
- Update code blocks to use new placeholder syntax
- Add related links between cache documentation and timeout strategies
- Fix numbering consistency in Solutions sections
Add 'partial writes' tag to frontmatter for better content discoverability:
- content/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/write-data/troubleshoot.md
- content/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/write-data/troubleshoot.md
- content/influxdb3/clustered/write-data/troubleshoot.md
This helps users find information about partial write scenarios across InfluxDB 3 distributed editions.
- Update clustered, cloud-dedicated, and cloud-serverless to share enhanced troubleshooting content
- Add comprehensive error capturing instructions with curl examples
- Include client library debug logging samples (Python, Go, Java, JavaScript)
- Provide detailed guidelines for reporting persistent write issues to support
- Split HTTP status code tables by product type for clarity
This standardizes troubleshooting across all InfluxDB 3 distributed editions.
