Question

Hi Everyone I am using signoz since last few days Just a beginner I want to use s3 as storage in signoz I can see it is possible in the documentation but it is mention that s3 can be use as cold storage I want to use as primary Is it possible

Pranay · Answer

When you say S3 as primary do you mean you don t want any data to be stored in disk < Sai Saubhagya> Can you share what is the use case for this Because querying from disks is generally faster than directly from S3

Sai Saubhagya · Answer

< Pranay> Thanks for reply Yes i don t want to store the data in disks Also if you can guide me to increase the storage size of existing disk

Our signoz is running in eks and i have a pvc of 20 GB If i want to increase it to 1TB what should be the steps

Pranay · Answer

< Ankit Nayan> < nitya signoz> Should be able to add more insights on increasing disk size

Pranay · Answer

< Sai Saubhagya> If you want to give some space for disks and set more space for s3 you can set retention period of each of them accordingly say 10 GB In disk and 1TB in S3 As of now I don t think you can do 0 GB in disk But will let Ankit confirm on this as well

nitya-signoz · Answer

Hi Sai it s recommended to keep the hot data on disk You can set the retention period to a day and then move it to S3 You will still be able to query the data as usual with a slight increase in latency
