## Downsampling
|
||||
|
||||
[Downsampling](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#downsampling) is available in [enterprise version of VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html).
|
||||
It is configured with `-downsampling.period` command-line flag. The same flag value must be passed to both `vmstorage`
|
||||
and `vmselect` nodes. Configuring `vmselect` node with `-downsampling.period` command-line flag makes query results more
|
||||
consistent, as `vmselect` will evenly downsample all received data samples if requested time range will intersect with configured
|
||||
`-downsampling.period`. For example, if `-downsampling.period=30d:5m` and user requests `60d` of data then vmselect will downsample
|
||||
all datapoints (newer and older than `30d`) to `5m` intervals. If this flag is omitted for `vmselect`,
|
||||
Downsampling is available in [enterprise version of VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html).
|
||||
It is configured with `-downsampling.period` command-line flag according to [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#downsampling).
|
||||
|
||||
The same flag value must be passed to both `vmstorage` and `vmselect` nodes. Configuring `vmselect` node with `-downsampling.period`
|
||||
command-line flag makes query results more consistent, because `vmselect` uses the maximum configured downsampling interval
|
||||
on the requested time range if this time range covers multiple downsampling levels.
|
||||
For example, if `-downsampling.period=30d:5m` and the query requests the last 60 days of data, then `vmselect`
|
||||
downsamples all the [raw samples](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#raw-samples) on the requested time range
|
||||
using 5 minute interval. If `-downsampling.period` command-line flag isn't set at `vmselect`,
|
||||
then query results can be less consistent because of mixing raw and downsampled data.
