Building an AI-Powered Time Series Dashboard for Data Center Ops

Sep 17, 2026 By InfluxData In InfluxData
AI demand is pushing data centers to get bigger, denser, and more distributed, while the data that runs them still often sits in different systems, slowing down operations and hampering efficiency. By leveraging a time series database like InfluxDB to create a single, unified telemetry layer, you can simplify your data stack, comfortably handle the high volume of data, and solve problems faster and more efficiently, helping to minimize waste and maximize efficiency, saving time, electricity, equipment, and money.

Building a Practical Time Series Data Layer for Automotive Manufacturing

Sep 9, 2026 By Cole Bowden In InfluxData
Table of Contents Automotive manufacturing generates data at several operating cadences. Sensors and controllers emit measurements continuously. Equipment and line states change as events. Production and quality systems add context at the part, batch, shift, and plant level. Together, these records describe how a manufacturing process behaves over time.

Democratizing Breach Detection: How SMBs Can Build Their Own Time Series Security Monitor

Aug 27, 2026 By Peter Albert In InfluxData
Summary Small and midsize businesses are often flying blind when it comes to security breach detection. An affordable way to address this issue without the complexity of SIEM is by modeling security events as time series data. This architecture takes audit logs from SaaS platforms and normalizes activities like logins, downloads, and token creation to establish behavior baselines that can be used to detect anomalies indicating security breaches.

A Guide to Downsampling Time Series Data with InfluxDB 3

Aug 19, 2026 By Charles Mahler In InfluxData
Summary Downsampling turns high-frequency time series data into lower-resolution summaries. In InfluxDB 3, you can calculate those summaries by querying with SQL or materialize them on a schedule with the Python Processing Engine. Table of Contents This tutorial demonstrates both approaches using the InfluxDB 3 Processing Engine’s built-in bird tracking simulator plugin. You will generate telemetry, aggregate it into 10-second windows, and validate the result with SQL.
