How to Use Big Data to Your Advantage

Users have been generating increasing amounts of data in the past few years, partly due to rapid digitalization since the pandemic. As a result, increasing numbers of analytics applications are capitalizing on these data assets. However, building scalable systems is no trivial task and incidents are inevitable. Complex systems generate data in the form of logs, traces, metrics, and more, which organizations often find themselves sprinting through. Such logs are a powerhouse of valuable information.

Querying InfluxDB IOx Using the New Flight SQL Plugin for Grafana

Grafana has been a staple visualization tool used alongside InfluxDB since its inception. With the release of InfluxDB Cloud powered by IOx, there is now a new way to integrate InfluxDB and Grafana: Flight SQL. Two of our engineers, Brett and Helen, have been working hard to create a new Grafana plugin called Flight SQL. This open-source plugin allows users to perform SQL queries directly against InfluxDB IOx and other storage engines compatible with Apache DataFusion.
