Building an IoT App with InfluxDB Cloud, Python and Flask (Part 3)
Last year I started an IoT project, Plant Buddy. This project entailed soldering some sensors to an Arduino, and teaching that device how to communicate directly with InfluxDB Cloud so that I could monitor those plants. Now I am taking that...
Deploying Services with Docker, NGINX, Route 53 & Let's Encrypt
This article was written by Jeremy White and originally published on April 13, 2021 on the Network to Code blog. Docker is a power tool for deploying applications or services, and there are numerous Docker orchestration tools available that can help...
Introduction to Giraffe
Giraffe is InfluxData’s graphing library, built to use and graph the data coming from InfluxData’s time series database, InfluxDB. Yes, there are other graphing libraries available; but ours is the only one purpose-built to graph line protocol without having to convert...
Scaling Kubernetes Deployments with InfluxDB & Flux
This article was written by InfluxDB Community member and InfluxAce David Flanagan. Eighteen hours ago, I was meeting with some colleagues to discuss our Kubernetes initiatives and grand plan for improving the integrations and support for InfluxDB running on Kubernetes. During...
Downsampling with InfluxDB v2.0
Downsampling is the process of aggregating high-resolution time series within windows of time and then storing the lower resolution aggregation to a new bucket. For example, imagine that you have an IoT application that monitors the temperature. Your temperature sensor might...

Introducing the InfluxDB Template UI: Monitoring Made Simple
At InfluxData, we’re obsessed with time to awesome how quickly can you start working productively with time series data? What can we do to make things better? InfluxDB Templates are a great example of this mindset. Back in April, we announced...
TL;DR InfluxDB Tech Tips How to Extract Values, Visualize Scalars, and Perform Custom Aggregations with Flux and InfluxDB
In this post, we learn how to use the reduce(), findColumn(), and findRecord() Flux functions to perform custom aggregations with InfluxDB. This TL;DR assumes that you have either registered for an InfluxDB Cloud account – registering for a free account is...
Getting Started with Sending StatsD Metrics to Telegraf & InfluxDB
This tutorial will walk you through sending StatsD metrics to Telegraf. StatsD is a simple protocol for sending application metrics via UDP. These metrics can be sent to a Telegraf instance, where they are aggregated and periodically flushed to InfluxDB or...
