We had mentioned about Grafana sensor data visualization tool, a data cloud platform for our industrial monitoring solutions in one of our earlier blogs. We were on the scout for a good time-series database that could handle large time-series data for Grafana. Our search ended with a team of Grafana developers working on InfluxDB, an opensource time-series solution that provided the perfect ally to Grafana development and was pretty robust to setup and deploys. Influx does have a UI to add a database if we install the .deb package. InfluxDB provides both cloud and downloadable versions and is flexible enough for complex deployments; it certainly ticked most of our Grafana development team’s boxes.

We also tried to migrate a few of our existing systems running in MongoDB to InfluxDB in industrial monitoring applications. Though there were some challenges few and far between, especially handling the multi-level management. But we guess that was sorted out soon and the transition was complete. One good thing about InfluxDB we noted was that it does have real-time access out of the gate and quickly identify the patterns and find value for your data. We could add more visualization instances in one of our dashboards, and while we earlier used the sleepy mongoose REST interface, InfluxDB programming allowed us the luxury of connecting it directly to our live graph chart by our Grafana developers.
InfluxDB programming for sensor data
InfluxDB has a powerful engine that can handle data coming through our large IoT deployments. It supports millions of writes per second and with the help of native clustering, all single points of failure are eliminated and users can get faster & accurate real-time values. It can accept data via HTTP, TCP, or UDP protocols. The sensor supported includes ELA innovation, Wirepas & Ruuvi.
Grafana development and anomaly detection
Whether it is about measuring indoor air quality, factory monitoring, or industrial elevator maintenance or earthquake warning for predictive analytics, we have the right competencies in integrating data visualisation tools to solve your business problem to ensure 24 x 7 operations.
Having trouble managing millions of data churned out by the sensors? Are you struggling to find a good visualization solution for your machine data? We at Ripples IOT might just have a perfect solution for you. For more info, Contact RipplesIOT
