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.

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 onboarding to time series and InfluxDB using Arduino.

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).

IBM engineer Nigel Griffiths built nmon in the 1990s to monitor operating system performance data for AIX. Since its original launch, Griffiths revisited and revamped nmon. For example, he built an open-source version for Linux. Despite drastic change in the very nature of computing and exponential growth in storage, memory, and compute power, it wasn’t until 2018 that Griffiths sought to completely re-write the tool and bring it into alignment with modern computer systems.

If you’re an InfluxDB and InfluxDB UI user, you’ve almost certainly created dashboards. However, if you’re building dozens of dashboards in the InfluxDB UI, you might have come across the need to deep link related dashboards. In this tutorial we’ll learn how we can use the table view with Flux, string interpolation, and variables to deep link users to other dashboards.

G2 has released their Fall 2022 reports, and we are thrilled to share that InfluxDB – the purpose- built time series platform, has once again ranked #1 in the G2 Grid for Time Series Databases. InfluxDB has also held its leading position in the Momentum Grid for Time Series Databases. The Momentum Grid® identifies products that are on a high growth trajectory based on user satisfaction scores, employee growth, and digital presence.

The number of applications and services increases every day as more application architectures move towards microservices or serverless structures. You can process this increasing amount of time series data with real-time aggregation or with a calculation whose output is a measurement or a metric. These metrics need to be monitored so that you can solve issues and make relevant changes in your system quickly. A change in a system can be captured and observed in many ways.

Flux is InfluxDB’s functional data scripting language. It’s made to query, process, analyze, and act on data. It’s very powerful and is built and optimized for time series. There are so many things you can do with Flux it can be hard to know where to start. This August, InfluxDB University launched a free Intermediate Flux course taught by experts that can take your Flux skills up a notch.

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 helps all InfluxDB Cloud UI users get more from their graphs.
