Session Date: Aug 27, 2026
Time: 8:00am (PT) | 3:00pm (GMT) | 4:00pm (BST)
This intermediate training is all about putting InfluxDB’s processing engine to work. With a hands-on walkthrough and demo, we’ll talk about transforming and downsampling your IoT data, then taking a deep dive into the Prophet forecasting plugin. You’ll leave with knowledge of how to set up a working forecasting model and a clear path from reactive monitoring to predictive operations.
What You’ll Learn:
- InfluxDB processing engine fundamentals: Core capabilities of the processing engine, including how to run basic data transformations and downsampling on your IoT data.
- Prophet forecasting plugin: How to set up and configure the Prophet plugin, explore different forecasting models, and apply forecast data in real-world scenarios.
- From reactive to predictive: How to use forecasting data to anticipate issues before they happen, shifting your operations from reactive monitoring to proactive decision-making.
