+InfluxDB - Time Series Database
+===============================
+
+Overview
+~~~~~~~~
+
+InfluxDB is a time series database developed by InfluxData. It is
+possible to deploy a single instance without charge. To use the
+clustering features you will require a commercial license.
+
+InfluxDB
+~~~~~~~~
+
+The `recommendation <https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.7/guides/hardware_sizing/#what-kind-of-storage-do-i-need>`_
+is to use flash storage for InfluxDB. If docker is configured to use
+spinning disks by default, or you have some higher performance drives
+available, it may be desirable to control where the docker volume is
+located. This can be achieved by setting a path for
+``influxdb_datadir_volume`` in ``/etc/kolla/globals.yml``:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    influxdb_datadir_volume: /mnt/ssd/influxdb/
+
+The default is to use a named volume, ``influxdb``.

+    to set this to a path on a high performance flash drive.
