To add a data node to an existing cluster, follow the steps below.

  1. Install and start a new data node. Complete steps 1–3 of the data node installation instructions.

  2. To join the new node to the cluster, do one of the following:

    • From a meta node, run:

      sh
      influxd-ctl add-data <new_data_node_host>:<port>
      
    • From a remote server, run:

      sh
      influxd-ctl -bind <existing_meta_node:8091> add-data <new_data_node_host>:<port>
      
  3. (Optional) Rebalance the cluster.
