Increase max number of time series returned in datapoint retrieveLatest API to 1000

Related products:REST API

I have created this Feature Request to track the request raised here and to monitor its progress on behalf of the customers.

Issue

The current limit of 100 in datapoint retrieveLatest API is causing performance issues when serving Angular dashboards due to multiple network calls.

Solution proposed

Increase max number of time series returned in datapoint retrieveLatest API to 1000.

Hi ​@DeelakaCS and thanks for this product idea.

I’ll dig into this request a bit with the team and we’ll see how challenging it might be to implement a 10x increase in returned TS’.

Turns out, this isn’t a simple problem to solve. Our current limit is based on what we believe to be the maximum number of time series we can process in a request without violating SLOs. As a result, to implement an increase we would need to revamp how we handle ingestion and capturing the latest information.

I’m not suggesting we won’t do this, but rather that implementing this for a production solution is very unlikely to represent a quick turnaround.

Sharing a status update on this one.

We’ve reviewed it with the team. We agree this is a valid need, but it’s not something we have capacity to pick up within the next 12 months, given current priorities in the Time Series roadmap. So I’ve moved it to Parked to reflect where it actually stands, rather than leaving it open without a signal.
