DB Alternatives

[GG]

Hi Pavel,

I'm sorry to bother you again, I'm a little bit confused with the databases requirements (mongodb, influxdb and clickhouse).

After upgrading (i think), Grafana was broken, so I ran "sudo ./installer -install_graphic_stack" again, and now i see all 3 databases installed and running. I assume MongoDB is required to keep persistent working state for the application? What about InfluxDB and Clickhouse? Are they alternatives? Are they both storing the same information? Should I use one OR the other? Should I stop one of them? Any recommendation on which one to use with fastnetmon?

Regards,

Gaston

Hello!

Sure, let me clarify.

MongoDB is crucial to store configuration. 

For bandwidth metrics you can use InfluxDB (default setup) or Clickhouse: https://fastnetmon.com/docs-fnm-advanced/traffic-metrics-in-clickhouse/

For big setups we recommend using Clickhouse for metrics as InfluxDB does not scale well.

For flow storage / traffic database you can use only Clickhouse.
