About:
InfluxDB is an open-source time series database designed to handle high write and query loads for metrics and events. It features a custom query language called Flux for data analysis and a powerful TSM storage engine optimized for time-stamped data. This version provides efficient storage and retrieval for real-time monitoring and analytics.
Key Features:
  • High-performance time series storage engine
  • Flux query language for powerful data analysis
  • Telegraf agent for seamless data collection
  • Integrated UI for visualization and management
Use Cases:
  • Infrastructure and application performance monitoring
  • Real-time analytics for IoT sensor data
  • Metrics storage for DevOps and observability stacks
Alternatives:
  • Prometheus – Prometheus is pull-based and focused on metrics, while InfluxDB is push-based and handles a broader range of time series data including events.
  • TimescaleDB – TimescaleDB is a PostgreSQL extension offering SQL compliance, whereas InfluxDB uses a proprietary query language (Flux/InfluxQL) and schema-less design.
