Description
Proposal:
Ability to modify wal and configs path via influxdb config file.
Current behavior:
The option to set wal path is missing after migrating from 1.8 to 2.x. The configs directory is new, but no option to set where to be stored.
Desired behavior:
Option in the config where we can define where these paths should be stored.
Alternatives considered:
N/A
Use case:
I want to maintain engine and wal on 2 different disks in order to gather more performance when writing metrics to InfluxDB.
In the old versions, we had the option to use wal-dir parameter and use secondary mount point for writing Write Ahead Log.
In this case I can choose a small size but high I/O disk for wal and a large but standard nvme for engine/data storage.
