New Historian - QuestDB

  1. We do have plans to offer this, but not yet at this time.
  2. It is possible to manually perform a backup of the database, but Ignition will need to be shut down for this. We do have plans for backup / restore functionality for the full database, but not at this time. Another option would be to use ZFS snapshots on Linux.
  3. The initial offering for archiving is to allow for partitions to be restored on an external QuestDB instance. However, not to sound like a broken record, having an integrated solution within Ignition is on the roadmap.
  4. This is not on the roadmap as this can be accomplished using scripting.
  5. Internally we are seeing a 7x throughput improvement for writes compared to a SQL Historian using MSSQL.
