We love to write and ship code to help developers bring their ideas and projects to life. That’s why we’re constantly working on improving our product in sync with developer needs to ensure their happiness and accelerate Time To Awesome. This month is special. We have many features that we think you will love when onboarding or continuing to use InfluxDB. We launched Native Data Collectors this month.

The first step before working on your time series is finding the right data store. To effectively detect or forecast your data, you will require a data store that can handle a large volume of data at a high ingest rate. Therefore, you might want to look at using a purpose-built time-series database.

Modern-day websites are filled with dashboards featuring enriched charts, line graphs, radar as well as multigraphs. The world is fascinated with such charts and graphs, which deliver much value to millennial web applications. There are many such chart libraries which provide interactive visualization and deliver data insights for users. The charts plot the lines using data points.

A wide variety of industrial processes rely on water, and before it can be used, it needs to be treated to remove dissolved substances. Minerals have to be filtered out so they don’t form scales on equipment as water is heated and cooled, and bacteria needs to be removed in cases involving human health. Ekopak is a Belgian company working to make water treatment more sustainable by using less water and energy where possible.

In this tutorial we’ll learn how to use Python to get time series data from the OpenWeatherMap API and convert it to a Pandas DataFrame. Next we’ll write that data to InfluxDB, a time-series data platform, with the InfluxDB Python Client. We’ll convert the JSON response from our API call to a Pandas DataFrame because I find that that’s the easiest way to write data to InfluxDB.

Whether you’re using InfluxDB to record massive amounts of historical stock market data to analyze the current economic trends or simply to monitor the number of times the lights in your smart home turn on and off to cut down on wasted electricity, a sudden shock or delay in the flow of incoming data can be detrimental to your operation in the majority of scenarios.

Given the global health crises the world has faced over the last few years, the need for expeditious but accurate medical trials has never been more important. The faster clinical trial data is validated, the faster medicines get approved and treatments become available. Pinnacle 21’s customers are driving forces behind creating life-saving treatments.

Efficient manufacturing is important for saving companies time, money, and energy. Making decisions based on data can improve efficiency, but there’s a lot of data to sort through. Manufacturing equipment contains many sensors, especially in the IIoT space. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) was first described by Seiichi Nakajima in the mid-twentieth century as part of his Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) method.

Telegraf is a very powerful open source plugin-based agent that gathers data from stacks, sensors, and systems and sends it to a database. It collects data from an input and sends it to an output, and gives you the option to transform data with aggregators and processors before it reaches its endpoint.

Streaming time series data from brokers and services that are on-premises or in the cloud to a cloud-based database is a resource-intensive process requiring third-party software and heavy customizations. Today we’re announcing InfluxDB Native Collectors to make it easy for developers to collect, process, and analyze data by subscribing directly to supported message brokers.
