Docs are missing max-series-per-database setting

[reshujain4u]

{"error":"max series per database exceeded: Metrics,App=Saks,MetricName=average_dom_content_load_time,Metric_Type=EndUser/RB/UserAgent/Mobile/Browser"}

This is what I'm getting, I am pretty new to influx db and Time series database, requirnment is to have mutiple tags like App,Metrics_Type to be feeded into influx db, with Metrics (in case content load time) with value.

It is currnetly auto generating Timeseries, I tried to take configuration using influxd config > /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf.generated

then updated Max-Series DB filed and saved the file, then passon command

influxd -config /etc/influxdb.conf.generated

restarted Influx as port 8086 was used by gafana to query influx db.

Still nothing happens.. Please provide a clear command to disable max series and let infux make unlimited entry... Because this is going to used for atleast 2 years.

URL for relevant page?

What products and version are you using?

Where did you look before opening the issue?

[beckettsean]

Set max-series-per-database to 0 for unlimited series.

Please read the docs about schema design to make sure you are using series responsibly.

[beckettsean]

need to add

[data]
 ...
 max-series-per-database = 1000000
 ...

to http://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.0/administration/config/
