Telegraf has now reached 300+ plugins and is deployed in a wide variety of use cases. In January we released a blog post covering the golden rules for creating configs and optimizing your Telegraf agent. It’s now about time we got our hands dirty covering some of the plugins the community uses the most. In this post, we are going to cover the SNMP Input Plugin.
Telegraf, InfluxData’s open source data collection agent, is a key tool for managing data pipelines. Users around the world rely on Telegraf’s flexibility to collect, clean, transform, and send data. But even with Telegraf’s immense popularity, we continue to look for ways to make it even easier to use. That’s why, when we launched InfluxDB University, we knew that Telegraf would be a key ingredient.
The high volume and high rate of transactions in the adtech market pushes vast amounts of data through the entire ecosystem, 24×7. Regardless of its place in the market – advertiser, ad exchange, ad network, or publisher – each has thousands or even hundreds of thousands of metrics that measure every aspect of the company’s business. Monitoring these metrics can prevent incidents from impacting the business.
Herrenknecht AG is a technology leader in mechanized tunneling systems. Engineers at Herrenknecht set out to build an industrial internet of things (IIoT) platform that provided insight into live and historic data for all their tunnel boring machines (TBMs). These machines have thousands of sensors generating high velocity data, sometimes in remote areas with limited connectivity.
We love to write and ship code to help developers bring their ideas and projects to life. That’s why we’re constantly working on improving our product in sync with developer needs to ensure their happiness and accelerate time to awesome. This is the first in a blog series covering our product’s latest features — features that we think will save you time and effort when building with time series and InfluxDB.
This article was originally published in The New Stack. Given how volatile Bitcoin price is, an automated alerting system can be valuable for preserving our attention and sanity.

Momentum, that is buying an asset that has done well in the past, has been one of the most persistently effective trading strategies — see Clif Asness: “Value and Momentum Everywhere” and Tzouvanas (2019).
The Particle platform enables companies to manage and program their IoT devices, bringing them to market quicker. To accomplish this, Particle developers needed to be able to collect telemetry data from a large number of edge IoT devices to measure performance. A key benefit of the Particle platform is its ability to scale from prototype to enterprise. Developers often prototype IoT devices using microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
