How to Create SQL Percentile Aggregates and Rollups With Postgresql and t-digest

When it comes to data, let’s start with the obvious. Averages suck. As developers, we all know that percentiles are much more useful. Metrics like P90, P95, P99 give us a much better indication of how our software is performing. The challenge, historically, is how to track the underlying data and calculate the percentiles. Today I will show you how amazingly easy it is to aggregate and create SQL based percentile rollups with Postgresql and t-digest histograms!

Getting Started: Writing Data to InfluxDB

This is a beginner’s tutorial for how to write static data in batches to InfluxDB 2.0 using these three methods. Before beginning, make sure you’ve either installed InfluxDB OSS or have registered for a free InfluxDB Cloud account. Registering for an InfluxDB Cloud account is the fastest way to get started using InfluxDB.

Getting Started: Streaming Data into InfluxDB

This is Part Two of Getting Started Tutorials for InfluxDB v2. If you’re new to InfluxDB v2, I recommend first learning about different methods for writing static data in batches to InfluxDB v2 in Part One of this Getting Started series. This is a beginner’s tutorial for how and when to write real-time data to InfluxDB v2. The repo for this tutorial is here. For this tutorial, I used Alpha Vantage’s free “Digital & Crypto Currencies Realtime” API to get the data.

How to "Translate" Grafana Dashboards from Prometheus to Elasticsearch

In the field of open-source metrics and time series monitoring, it is quite clear today that Grafana is the most popular tool of choice. One of Grafana’s main advantages is its storage backend flexibility. It can support almost all the major time series datastores (Prometheus, InfluxDB, Elasticsearch, Graphite etc.), when each datastore has its own query language syntax, and slight differences in the actual Grafana UI and capabilities resulting from these differences.
