Is there a way to mirror or scrape data from an InfluxDB 1.8 database to a v 2.7.x database?
If I were given two v. 2 databases I think the case would be covered by the (edge) data replication. But I have a v. 1 and v. 2 database and would like to replicate the data that is written to the v.1 database to the v.2 database - ideally in such a way that if the v.2 database is not reachable the data is buffered and then the update is performed once v.2 comes back online.
The specific use case: v.1. is the InfluxDB of Home Assistant, whose retention duration is 6 months and v.2. is the DB on a separate server with an infinite retention duration. The data flow is expected to be v.1 -> v.2 only. I do not mind if the solution utilises the InfluxDB tools (Kapacitor, Telegraf, Scraping) but the target is to collect the values from the database, not the metrics about the database.
