InfluxDB is an open source time series database for Windows. It includes a wide range of utilities like the graphical user interface and dashboarding tools, as well as the processing and monitoring agent.

Overview

The application features a powerful time series engine that allows you to run and grow large data workloads globally. It gives you the ability to ingest data from millions of sources from both batch and stream.

In contrast to Oracle Database, the UI includes an explorer component, a wide range of dashboarding tools and a script editor. You are able to utilize these instruments to quickly browse through the metric and event data you have collected and apply common transformations.

Telegraf compatibility

Additionally, the software can use a specialized program called Telegraf for collecting and sending both metrics and events from databases, applications, systems and IoT sensors.

Edge and distributed environments

It is worth noting that the program enables you to collect, process and analyze data from edge devices. This means you can optimize your distributed infrastructure. You have the option to use the in-built API to write data from edge to your database or vice versa. This allows you to access any information that you have in your distributed environment.
