Hi,
First of all, I am by no means an expert in databases, so if the question is stupid, just let me knowI have restricted logging for the recorder to avoid that my homeassistant database would grow too much to clog up/fill the system (I´m using Hassio on an RPI3+ wiht 64gb SD card)… Still I would like to learn about some tools and analytics around the database of home assistant, so I was thinking if the following would make sense
- No restriction on logging in the recorder
- If the database size is above a certain size (e.g. 300 MB), then extract the database to a separate file
- If writing successful, then purge the same records from the original database.
- Move that separate file to another location (e.g dropbox)
- Append the separate file in Dropbox to a masterfile in e.g. my Synology NAS or PC to one huge database which can be used for analytics
Like this the RPI has no overload of data and I could still have “infinite” history to analyse.
Would this be something unrealistic?
Thanks!
