Why InfluxDB
Limitless data collection
Ingest and analyze millions of time series data points per second without limits or caps.
Predict and prevent
Maximize uptime and prevent costly failures with real-time monitoring and preventative insights.
Real-time query
Data is immediately available for querying in InfluxDB, enabling real-time SQL queries and lightning-fast responses.
Learn why InfluxDB
Trusted by hundreds of organizations in nearly every industry across a wide range of use cases, InfluxDB has become the preferred platform for centralized monitoring of metrics, events, and key business indicators.
Why Metrics as a Service?
Metrics as a Service (MaaS) is a concept that combines centralization resource efficiency, overhead offload, and maximum value extraction from the data collected organization-wide. All data converging to one platform, available in one pane, allows much richer visualization and analytics across multiple data sources and types.
Key advantages of MaaS:
- Removes silos’ inefficiencies
- Reduce operational workload while providing agile responses to multiple audiences with diverse monitoring requirements
- Enable data enrichment, correlation, and complex analytics for more insightful information
- Supports real-time stream processing, alerting, and anomaly detection
- Removes barriers to adopting a data-driven culture
What is the InfluxData Metrics as a Service with InfluxDB solution?
Metrics as a Service (MaaS) with InfluxDB gives you functionalities to sustain centralized growth, availability, and durability of the data:
- High availability clustering
- Horizontal scalability
- High ingest/query performance
- Storage efficiency
- Single pane for holistic visualization of key performance indicators.
Furthermore, InfluxDB provides extended functionalities and workflow automation for an easy-to-use, one-stop shop for metrics:
- Real-time stream processing for effective alerting; optimizations at ingest and anomaly detection during integration with Machine Learning frameworks
- Powerful query and scripting engine that performs complex analytics over multiple data sources, enabling early detection of issues and fast root-cause diagnosis
- Automation of data lifecycle management with retention policies, automated rollups, and eviction
Why use the InfluxDB platform for Metrics as a Service?
- Detect anomalies and act while it still matters
- Handle a growing workload of targeted monitoring requirements
- Provide the fastest time to an awesome data-driven culture
There are {{num_plugins}}+ Telegraf plugins and other Community Data Sources integrations using open source client libraries (Java, Javascript, Go, Python, C++, C#).

“InfluxDB is a high-speed read and write database. So, think of it. The data is being written in real time, you can read in real time, and when you’re reading it, you can apply your machine learning model. So, in real time, you can forecast, and you can detect anomalies.”
