Telegraf is a plugin-driven agent for collecting, processing, aggregating and writing metrics and events. Telegraf ships as a single binary with no external dependencies that runs with a minimal footprint and a plugin system that supports many popular services. Telegraf is used to collect metrics from the system it runs on, applications, remote IoT devices and many other inputs. Telegraf can also capture data from event-driven operations.
It can be difficult to facilitate interconnectivity within an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) environment, especially considering the different needs of the business and IT. OPC, or Open Platform Communication, allows for connectivity of data and monitoring across devices.
Every government in the world is evaluating the steps necessary to radically reduce carbon emissions. The UK Government has been especially proactive, not just assessing these steps, but rolling out aggressive carbon-control strategies and legislation. Originally, the UK Government’s Climate Change Act 2008 set a goal of an 80 percent reduction in the country’s carbon emissions by 2050.
The InfluxDB UI offers a wide variety of features for time series analysis, data lifecycle management, and time series visualization. The InfluxDB UI also shines when it comes to onboarding new users, whether they’re an InfluxDB OSS or free tier InfluxDB Cloud user. The InfluxDB UI allows you to easily leverage Telegraf, a plugin-driven collection agent for collecting, processing, and writing metrics and events.
Relational databases are by far the most common type of database, and as software developers it’s safe to say that they are the kind of database most of us got started on, and probably still use on a regular basis. And one thing that they all have in common is the way they structure data. InfluxDB, however, structures data a little bit differently.
Today, many of the internet’s busiest websites and applications rely on NGINX to run smoothly. And many of those websites and apps are run as cloud-native services in Kubernetes. In particular, the NGINX Ingress Controller is a best-in-class traffic management solution for cloud‑native apps in Kubernetes and containerized environments that uses NGINX as a reverse proxy, load balancer, API gateway, cache, or web application firewall.
The yield() function determines which table inputs should be returned in a Flux script. The yield() function also assigns a name to the output of a Flux query. The name is stored in the default annotation. For example, if we query the following table: Without the yield function: The following Annotated CSV output is returned. Notice the default annotation is set to _results by default. Now if we add the yield() function: The following Annotated CSV output is returned.
With Industry 4.0 fundamentally transforming manufacturing systems and processes through IIoT technologies, manufacturers large and small are seeking the most efficient ways to reap its benefits. Potential gains include optimizing operations, generating data-driven insight, creating new revenue streams, and accelerating innovation. To paint the big picture, let’s start with a definition of Industry 4.0, followed by an explanation of what adopting it involves.
InfluxData prides itself on its effort to prioritize developer happiness. This included providing developers with a variety of tools to interact with InfluxDB v2 OSS or InfluxDB Cloud, so they can pick the development style that works best for them. This article assumes you’re using the InfluxDB Cloud Free tier, which is the easiest way to get started and maintain InfluxDB. You can use any of the following tools for your IoT application development.
This article was written by Cameron Pavey, a full-stack dev living and working in Melbourne. Scroll below for this picture and bio. As a developer, it is likely that you will eventually run into a situation where a traditional relational database’s document stores don’t quite cut it. If you need to store points of data over time, you’ll likely need a time series database.
