With so many different architectures and device types, aggregating telemetry and metrics and viewing that data in a centralized analysis tool is problematic. Onboarding embedded Linux devices into a telemetry service so that metrics can be easily observed is a significant challenge.

There are a lot of ways to get data into InfluxDB, including over a dozen client libraries, hundreds of Telegraf plugins, and Native Collectors. Native Collectors let you directly ingest data from a cloud broker to InfluxDB Cloud so you don’t need to install anything else or write extra code.

According to the Python Developers Survey 2021 Results, the majority of developers don’t actively use frontend tools. This means if you wanted to create interfaces to display machine learning models and other systems you’ve built, you most likely need the assistance of another developer.

One of InfluxData’s main products is InfluxDB Cloud. It’s a cloud-native, SaaS platform for accessing InfluxDB in a serverless, scalable fashion. InfluxDB Cloud is available in all major public clouds. InfluxDB Cloud was built from the ground up to support auto-scaling and handling different types of workloads. Under the hood, InfluxDB Cloud is a Kubernetes-based application consisting of a fleet of micro-services that runs in a multi-cloud, multi-region setup.

Learn how to deploy InfluxDB Cloud’s Native Collectors with Kepware and the Things Network. In Part 1 of the blog series, we discussed connecting Kepware to InfluxDB using the new InfluxDB Cloud feature Native Collectors! As promised, let’s now discuss how to connect an Enterprise IoT platform, The Things Network to InfluxDB. Before we get to the juicy tutorial let’s run through a quick reminder.

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 to meet developers where they are, to ensure their happiness, and accelerate Time to Awesome. This week, we are covering a product release that we think will save you time and effort when using InfluxDB with data retention requirements.

For many workloads, using a time series database is a smart choice that saves time and storage space. Developers and companies have more database choices than ever. Choosing the right database for a project saves time when writing and querying data. As companies work with larger datasets to make increasingly intelligent and automated systems, efficiency is key. For many workloads, using a time series database is a smart choice that saves time and storage space.

Time series analysis is the study of a sequence of data points and records that are collected over a constant period. The analysis indicates how a variable or a group of variables has changed and helps in discovering underlying trends and patterns. Time series data is generally used for forecasting problems by predicting the likelihood of future data based on historical information.

EDR enables developers to use the full capabilities of InfluxDB at the edge. Developers also can use that same data in the cloud for different purposes. Flux is the data scripting and query language for the InfluxDB time series database platform, enabling useful features such as Edge Data Replication (EDR).
