I have deployed a multinode setup on Kubernetes using the helm chart. Is there any way by which I can increase\decrease the data node by modifying the configuration?

Would love if you could share how you solved the issue it might well help other users :pray: if you have time

@LorraineP : I will happy to share comments on this.

Data nodes can be increased by configuring value.yaml at the time of helm chart installation.
dataNodes: 3

Here the current limitations\features such as adding nodes/removing/reattaching will still applicable.
Refer below discussion on adding/reattching nodes discussion from the post.

You’re awesome! I’ll mark this for our docs team to review, too, so they can decide if to incorporate it into the main documentation.

Thank you! :star_struck:

Hi @LorraineP We did have this information in the documentation about the various parameters that you can set in the values.yaml file: https://docs.timescale.com/install/latest/installation-kubernetes/#install-timescaledb-on-kubernetes. However, specifically for adding or removing nodes I updated the instructions in the documentation in the following PR: https://github.com/timescale/docs/pull/1262
