GrafanaCon EU 2018: Using Postgres, Prometheus and Grafana for Storing, Analyzing and Visualizing Metrics

In this talk, we take a somewhat heretical stance in the monitoring world, and describe why and how we chose to use PostgreSQL as a Prometheus backend to support complex queries (and get a full SQL interface).

GrafanaCon EU 2018: The Design of IFQL, the New Influx Functional Query Language

The new InfluxDB query language is functional in nature. Conceptually it looks like D3 or jQuery. Functions are chained off each other. This gives greater flexibility for what the language can do and opens up new possibilities for UI builders. This talk will cover the details of the language and user interface ideas that can pair up nicely with it. We'll look at query examples that perform math on metrics, interpolation, and similarity measures.
