Time Series Database:Usage Limits

Last Updated:Apr 03, 2020

Instance type limits

Currently, the maximum instance type provided by Time Series Database (TSDB) is Ultimate Edition II. If you need instances with larger instance types, submit a ticket.

Use limits

To protect instances, TSDB restricts the usage of resources depending on the instance types. When you use a TSDB instance, do not exceed the corresponding limits to avoid system errors. If an error is returned to the application layer, indicating that the limit is exceeded, upgrade the instance type in the TSDB console. The following table describes the details about the limits on use.

Instance type Maximum number of tags in a timeline Maximum number of timelines covered in a subquery (10,000) Maximum number of data points covered in a subquery (10,000) Maximum number of data points returned by a subquery (10,000) Maximum QPS
Basic Edition I 16 10 700 15 200
Basic Edition II 20 15 700 20 1,000
Basic Edition III 20 20 700 20 1,200
Standard Edition I 20 80 2,000 80 4,000
Standard Edition II 24 120 4,000 160 8,000
Ultimate Edition I 24 160 6,000 180 24,000
Ultimate Edition II 24 200 8,000 200 50,000

Description

  • Subquery: each time series query can contain multiple subqueries to implement batch queries.
  • Number of timelines covered in a subquery: the total number of hit timelines after each subquery is issued to the engine layer.
  • Number of data points covered in a subquery: the total number of data points to be scanned and calculated after each subquery is issued to the storage layer.
  • Number of data points returned by a subquery: the number of data points returned to the application layer by a subquery after time series aggregation.
  • Maximum QPS: the query benchmark for queries per second (QPS) measurement is that a timeline, on which a data record (containing only one tag) is reported every 10 seconds, is scanned within a time range of 5 minutes.

Considerations

If a query contains multiple subqueries and one of the subqueries violates the subquery limits for the instance, the entire query fails and an error is returned. In this case, you can modify the query conditions, or upgrade the instance type.
