Setting up the InfluxDB native collector for MQTT is a simple, three step process. Here, Gary Fowler walks through the configuration process and discusses the different parsing options available to you.

InfluxDB is a schema-less database. But what if you *want* a schema for your time series data? Well, you can choose to enforce a schema at the bucket level. Here, Zoe Steinkamp covers the basics of schemas, and how to go about using explicit schemas in InfluxDB.

If you use Node.js, then the Node.js client library allows you to interact with the InfluxDB platform quickly, using a familiar language. Here, Zoe Steinkamp discusses some of the features of the Node.js client library to help you get started building awesome applications with InfluxDB even faster.

The team at InfluxData has been hard at work building a brand new query experience into the GUI, and recently gave us a look at what's coming.

The 'edge' is the place where the physical world meets the digital world. More and more businesses rely on workloads at the edge, especially in the IoT and IIoT spaces. Define the edge to fit your needs. InfluxDB has the tools and resources to use data at the edge and in the cloud, and to create reliable, durable data pipelines between them.

Flux Engineer Sean Brickley shows some major improvements coming to the Flux language to support more ways to join together multiple tables of data.

Telegraf has over 300 plugins available in four different categories. Here, developer Mya Longmire talks about two of those categories, aggregators and processors, covering what they do and how to use them.

MQTT is one of the most common protocols used in IoT and IIoT. Here, Brian Gilmore and Mya Longmire talk discuss some MQTT basics, how to use MQTT with InfluxDB, and some of the advantages that combining MQTT and InfluxDB bring to IoT and IIoT tech stacks.
