Data – specifically time series data – continues to be the key ingredient for successful digital transformation. No matter the industry, time series data helps companies understand the activities and output of people, processes and technologies impacting their business. The effective management and use of time series data has emerged as the best path towards this goal.
Time series data differs from “normal” data in an interesting way. The essential characteristic is that the data’s primary point of reference is a timestamp showing at which point in time a sample of data was measured. Time series databases like InfluxDB are helpful for situations that involve this kind of data.
InfluxDB Cloud wins Best Use of the Cloud in the Internet of Things category SAN FRANCISCO, February 8, 2022 – InfluxData, creator of the leading time series platform InfluxDB, today announced InfluxDB Cloud was named a winner in the 2021-22 Cloud Awards category for Best Use of the Cloud in the Internet of Things. Now in its 10th year, the Cloud Awards recognize innovation and excellence in cloud computing among startups and global enterprises.
This article was written by Nicolas Bohorquez. Scroll below for the author’s picture and bio. Time series databases, like InfluxDB, index data by time. They are very efficient at recording constant streams of data, like server metrics, application monitoring data, sensor reports, and any data containing a timestamp. Data in a time series database is always written with the most recent data values but with the previous values not updated.
You just launched your application and it’s attracted more users than you were expecting. Your web server is bombarded with data. Now you need to know more about your users: what is the dominant device they’re using, and how long are they staying on the app? A time series database will help you answer these questions. It allows you to save data for a given point over a specified period of time, which gives you insight into what type of usage you’re getting and when.
One of the great features of the InfluxData cloud platform is that it comes out of the box with all the tools you need to quickly read and write your data to the database. Here, we’ll walk through creating data visualizations with InfluxDB and plotly.js, a JavaScript graphing library built on top of d3.js and stack.gl.
This article explores some of the ways that invalid data can be rejected when writing to InfluxDB and describes a new feature that makes it easier to know when and why that happens.
Founded in 1884 and located in Ghent, Belgium, Algist Bruggeman supplies fresh, liquid, and dried yeast to industrial, semi-artisanal, and artisanal bakeries, as well as to the beer, wine, and pharma industries. Algist Bruggeman is part of the Lesaffre Group, a key global player in fermentation for more than a century. Even with more than a century of industrial production behind it, Algist Bruggeman continues to evolve its manufacturing processes.
In this tutorial you will learn how to use the Flux query language to enrich time series data stored in InfluxDB by combining it with metadata stored in a relational database.
