So I have an install that is running on solid state storage, and I’m looking for ways to reduce total I/O writes to the disk.
I’ve already setup rrdcached, and that helps but it still wears out an SSD in a few years.
I know this is probably a big ask sorry, I’m not a programmer, just a linux guy.
these were the only ideas I came up with and they were all things I could maybe do outside the code.
I’d still like to have _previous and _current in the database for alerts, but maybe a way to turn off the rest of the data collection for a device?
like the ability to turn off graphs for individual sensors that I don’t need data for?
I thought about maybe have RAM backed RRD files in a zram disk that have a depth of 2 so that you would still have _previous and _current data points?
not sure what would be the easiest given the way the code works, just wanted to throw the idea out there
