In Telegraf 1.19 we released a new JSON parser (json_v2). The original parser suffered from an inflexible configuration, and there were a handful of pretty common cases where data could not be parsed. While a lot of edge cases for parsing can be resolved using the Starlark processor, it is still a more advanced approach that requires writing scripts. We have made a lot of enhancements to the new JSON parser that can help you easily read in your JSON data into InfluxDB.

As a language for processing time series data, Flux has an important role in how we understand that data. As we create and process data, we do it for ourselves and others. The concept of time and how we as people interact with time isn’t always simple.

Roadmap revealed, insight gained, connections made, and InfluxDB Challenge swag won — that’s a wrap for InfluxDays North America 2021! The conference, which brought together the #InfluxDB community to exchange time series acumen and use cases, is always a reminder of why and how we’ve grown. It included subject-matter-expert led courses, on-demand videos and live sessions.

By developers, for developers – this has always been InfluxData’s approach when building new tools for users, and it’s certainly the case as we roll out the newest round of features and capabilities at this year’s InfluxDays North America. We know that application building isn’t easy and that development cycles are precious. That’s why we focus everything we do around delivering developer happiness.

InfluxDB enhancements enable developers to get started on building real-time applications quickly and to scale SAN FRANCISCO, October 26, 2021 – InfluxData, creator of the leading time series platform InfluxDB, today announced new capabilities for developers to expedite application building as part of InfluxDays North America 2021 Virtual Experience, its annual event for customers, partners and developer community.

Home labs are popular among technology enthusiasts. Often they are unmonitored and even the smallest home lab can benefit from monitoring. This post will show how getting started with an InfluxDB Cloud account and Telegraf can make this super easy! InfluxDB is an open source time series database. As such, InfluxDB is well-suited for operations monitoring, application metrics, IoT sensor data, and real-time analytics.

It can be difficult to facilitate interconnectivity within an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) environment, especially considering the different needs of the business and IT. OPC, or Open Platform Communication, allows for connectivity of data and monitoring across devices.

Telegraf is a plugin-driven agent for collecting, processing, aggregating and writing metrics and events. Telegraf ships as a single binary with no external dependencies that runs with a minimal footprint and a plugin system that supports many popular services. Telegraf is used to collect metrics from the system it runs on, applications, remote IoT devices and many other inputs. Telegraf can also capture data from event-driven operations.

Every government in the world is evaluating the steps necessary to radically reduce carbon emissions. The UK Government has been especially proactive, not just assessing these steps, but rolling out aggressive carbon-control strategies and legislation. Originally, the UK Government’s Climate Change Act 2008 set a goal of an 80 percent reduction in the country’s carbon emissions by 2050.

The InfluxDB UI offers a wide variety of features for time series analysis, data lifecycle management, and time series visualization. The InfluxDB UI also shines when it comes to onboarding new users, whether they’re an InfluxDB OSS or free tier InfluxDB Cloud user. The InfluxDB UI allows you to easily leverage Telegraf, a plugin-driven collection agent for collecting, processing, and writing metrics and events.
