InfluxDB is increasingly being used in IoT solutions to store data from connected devices. Now it can also be used on IoT edge gateways as a data historian to analyze, visualize and eventually transmit aggregated IoT data up to a centralized server. In this article we’re going to look at three simple ways you can connect an instance of InfluxDB on your IoT Edge device to another instance of InfluxDB in the cloud.

To run Tracealyzer 4 on Linux, the first thing you will need to install is Mono. For most distributions there’s a package called “mono-complete”, though some distributions and package systems may instead use simply “mono”. There may be additional requirements, in particular for Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora based systems. See below for distribution specific instructions. Mono version 5.14 (or newer) is required for Tracealyzer.

This article takes a look at a few different aspects of C structure initialization. In particular, we’ll look at when it matters, the current state of things in Clang and GCC, recommendations, and the ✨ future ✨. Time to dive into this very niche, but occasionally hazardous corner of the C language!

Back in 2019, David Simmons created an awesome blog introducing LoRaWAN devices and The Things Network. He also showed you how easy it was to connect The Things Network V2 to InfluxDB. Since then, a few things have changed and I thought it was time to revisit the Things Network with a new project.

IoT has rapidly moved from a fringe technology to a mainstream collection of techniques, protocols, and applications that better enable you to support and monitor a highly distributed, complex system. One of the most critical challenges to overcome is processing an ever-growing stream of analytics data, from IoT security data to business insights, coming from each device. Many protocols have been implemented for this, but could logs provide a powerful option for IoT data and IoT monitoring?

InfluxData today announced accelerated momentum in Industrial Data and Internet of Things (IoT) driven by new customers, product enhancements and expanded industrial partnerships fueled by the growth of time series data. Customers including Tesla, Rolls Royce, Airbus, Teck, Graco and Graphite Energy are using InfluxDB to collect industrial data from devices and sensors.
