InfluxDB community showcase

A la hora de hacer upgrade de InfluxDB siempre tendremos como referencia principal la documentación del producto que es bastante clara para los distintos escenarios en los que nos podemos encontrar.

Great new feature of the InfluxDB v2 time series databases and its Flux language : the gateways to SQL databases engines (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server…). More databases drivers to come in future releases.

Currently: Version 35. You are welcome to join in the testing. Now nearing production use status.

nextract pulls data from the Hardware Management Console (HMC) via the HMC REST API and is written in Python 3.

I thought to share my setup if someone wants to run the same, having bluewalker scanning continously and sending results to local telefraf unix socket, which listens to this and forwards the stuff to influxdb.

Simple Arduino client for writing and reading data from InfluxDB, no matter whether it is a local server or InfluxDB Cloud. The library supports authentication, secure communication over TLS, batching, automatic retrying on server back-pressure and connection failure.

Here is the thing, let’s setup a InfluxDB v2 in Kubernetes. Fast and simple and just with 3 YAML files.

In this post let see how we can do Obervability using InfluxDB Cloud. For this experiment we are going to use Two x86 and One ARM system.

In this video we deepen the INFLUXDB database v. 1.8 used as an Openhab persistence engine, talking about retention policy and historical aggregations, with the aim to optimize the amount of stored data.

Keeping an eye on my ISP’s performance. For a bit more than two years now I’ve been closely monitoring my network uplink. In the past I had a ton of issues with up- or download speeds not being what I paid for, packet loss issues and outright full-blown outages.

Weather monitoring using Grafana, influxDB and rtl_433.

nextract plus gathers data from the HMC REST API and places it into InfluxDB ready for graphing with Grafana.

We report on our experiences with installing and running Starlink on the corporate network. This report will be updated with new findings along the road.

nextract_plus is a Python program that extracts the Power Systems Hardware Management Console (HMC) HMC PCM Performance Statistics about POWER Servers, VIOS and LPARs and outputs the data into InfluxDB which can then be displayed with Grafana.
