# InfluxDB Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Why??
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scrutiny has many features, but the relevant one to this conversation is the "S.M.A.R.T metric tracking for historical
|
|
|
|
|
trends". Basically Scrutiny not only shows you the current SMART values, but how they've changed over weeks, months (or
|
|
|
|
|
even years).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To efficiently handle that data at scale (and to make my life easier as a developer) I decided to add InfluxDB as a
|
|
|
|
|
dependency. It's a dedicated timeseries database, as opposed to the general purpose sqlite DB I used before. I also did
|
|
|
|
|
a bunch of testing and analysis before I made the change. With InfluxDB the memory footprint for Scrutiny (at idle) is ~
|
|
|
|
|
100mb, which is still fairly reasonable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
InfluxDB is a required dependency for Scrutiny v0.4.0+.
