|
Use the **Series File Compaction tool** to compact your series file and reduce its size on disk.
|
|
This is useful for series files that grow quickly, for example, when series are frequently created and deleted.
|
|
|
|
**To compact a series file:**
|
|
|
|
1. Stop the `influxd` process.
|
|
|
|
2. Run the following command, including your **data directory** and **WAL directory**:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Syntax
|
|
influx_inspect buildtsi -compact-series-file -datadir <data_dir> -waldir <wal_dir>
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
influx_inspect buildtsi -compact-series-file -datadir /data -waldir /wal
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Restart the `influxd` process.
|
|
|
|
4. **_(InfluxDB Enterprise only)_** On each data node:
|
|
1. Complete steps 1-3.
|
|
2. Wait for the [hinted handoff queue (HHQ)](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/concepts/clustering/#hinted-handoff)
|
|
to write all missed data to the node.
|
|
3. Continue to the next data node.
