InfluxDB Community Office Hours are one-hour, monthly online sessions, held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 10:00 am Pacific Time, by our Influxers to answer your questions about any topic related to InfluxDB or time series. We host this monthly live webinar so that users can directly ask a panel of Influxers questions and talk in real time. We record these sessions and post them on YouTube. InfluxDB Community Office Hours are part of our commitment to open source, developer happiness, and time to awesome.

Paul will talk about the long-term vision for Flux the language as well as InfluxDB 2.0, Telegraf 2.0 and beyond. He’ll talk about why we’ve decided to create a language, how that plays into polyglot persistence & purpose-built time series databases, and how it enables more complex analytics and processing workloads to drive insights from data not just in InfluxDB, but everywhere.

This talk will show how to use Tasks, Flux, dashboards and monitoring and alerting in InfluxDB 2.0 to create an external service or website monitor. It’ll tie all the work we’ve been doing for the last two years together in a simple example for everyone to use as a template for their own custom monitoring applications built on top of the InfluxDB 2.0 platform.

This talk will go into the details of migrating from TICK to InfluxDB 2.0. We’ll touch on data migration, what to consider when migrating dashboards from InfluxQL to Flux, and considerations for moving from Kapacitor and TICKscript to Tasks and Flux.

An overview of InfluxData - created September 2019

Russ Savage, product manager at InfluxData, gives an overview of InfluxDB Cloud 2.0 including why it was built, what's new, and how to get started.

We were joined by David Simmons for an IoT-themed InfluxDB Community Office Hours!

This month, we were joined by Gunner Aasen, Thom Crowe, Michael Desa, and Jacob Marble from InfluxDB to answer questions from the community. We had discussions about InfluxDB Cloud 2.0 beta, Telegraf, InfluxDB OSS, and Flux.

We are all used to building dashboards for great visualizations, but the issue becomes how to share and collaborate on instrumentation and dashboard design. In this talk, Tim Hall will drill down on dashboard sharing, how to iterate and improve on dashboards within a repository, and lessons learned in sharing and collaborating on dashboards.

David provides a walkthrough of a typical data architecture for an IoT device, followed by how to gather data from the devices in the workshop and display it on a dashboard and trigger alerts based on thresholds that you set.
