Verify possibly-retired InfluxDB _internal fields: httpd.valuesWrittenOK, write.pointsWrittenOK/subWriteDrop/valuesWrittenOK, hh_database #7684

What

content/shared/influxdb-v1/administration/monitor/measurements-internal.md
documents four _internal fields and one Enterprise-only measurement that
are absent on two live InfluxDB v1.12.4 instances (OSS and Enterprise),
tested after fresh write and query activity:

  • httpd.valuesWrittenOK
  • write.pointsWrittenOK
  • write.subWriteDrop
  • write.valuesWrittenOK
  • hh_database (measurement)

The four fields are still documented by the Telegraf influxdb input
plugin README (content/telegraf/v1/input-plugins/influxdb.md), so they
may exist only in older InfluxDB 1.x releases rather than being incorrect.
hh_database requires an active hinted handoff failure between cluster
nodes to reproduce, which wasn't testable with the available single-node
Enterprise setup.

A <!-- VERIFY (live instance) --> comment marks the spot in the doc.

Ask

  • Confirm whether the four fields exist in any currently supported
    InfluxDB 1.x release, and if so, which version(s).
  • Confirm whether hh_database is still emitted by InfluxDB Enterprise
    during hinted handoff, and under what conditions.

Definition of done

  • Fields/measurement confirmed to exist (with version) → uncomment and
    document properly, noting the version floor
  • Fields/measurement confirmed removed/never existed → delete from the
    doc and drop this note
