InfluxDB Native Collector allows users to set up direct, cloud-to-cloud connections between web services and InfluxDB to accelerate data collection. Here, Gary Fowler discusses the basics of the Native Collector feature.

Predicting the traffic of our #applications is as challenging as forecasting the weather. Whether it’s a sudden spike in your apps’ traffic, a set of bugs pushed in #production, or even a full-on #cyberattack, unexpected surges can bring significant consequences. We may have the facts to anticipate a solid estimate, but we can’t plan for the anomalies. This is a concern shared by many #blackfire Monitoring customers. And it’s directly linked to ensuring you have the right amount of traces to maintain your applications’ continuous instrumentation—while controlling costs.

In the previous video we saw how to create a template to execute modules for remote monitoring, in this case we will see how to do the same procedure for local modules, executed through the Pandora FMS software agent. See the video: Monitoring remote components.

IT is complicated. The good news is that it no longer has to be. In this video, Resolve CEO Vijay Kurkal explains the advantages that Resolve's automation solutions can bring to IT organizations, from streamlining large amounts of service desk requests and to auto-remediating incidents, with seamless integrations across multi-system siloes.

One of the core features of Cribl Stream is the Replay capability. We pride ourselves on giving customers choice and control over their data. The ability to archive data in cheap object storage, and then providing the ability to reach into the same object storage is one example of this. It’s safe to say that S3 and AWS have become synonymous with the term object storage. It’s like a modern-day Kleenex, or Band-Aid. However, it’s important to remember that there are other, equally featured object storage options available. In this video, we’ll walk through an example of Replay with Azure Blob, and view logs within Humio.

InfluxDB provides many ways to collect data. The newest one is the Native Collector feature. But when should you use the native collector and when should you use a different option, like Telegraf? Gary Fowler uses MQTT to show the different options and why you might choose one over the other.

Setting up the InfluxDB native collector for MQTT is a simple, three step process. Here, Gary Fowler walks through the configuration process and discusses the different parsing options available to you.

InfluxDB is a schema-less database. But what if you *want* a schema for your time series data? Well, you can choose to enforce a schema at the bucket level. Here, Zoe Steinkamp covers the basics of schemas, and how to go about using explicit schemas in InfluxDB.
