TL;DR InfluxDB Tech Tips - From Subqueries to Flux!

In this post we translate subqueries, using InfluxQL in InfluxDB version 1.x, into Flux, a data scripting and functional query language in InfluxDB version 1.8 and greater in either OSS or Cloud. The subqueries translated here come from this blog. This blog assumes that you have a basic understanding of Flux. If you’re entirely unfamiliar with Flux, I recommend that you check out the following documentation and blogs.

MLTK Smart Workflows

I’m excited to announce the launch of a new series of apps on Splunkbase: MLTK Smart Workflows. These apps are domain-specific workflows, built around specific use cases, that can be used to help you develop a set of machine learning models with your data. In this blog post, I’d like to take you through the process we adopted for developing the workflows.

Storing, Processing and Visualizing Data with the ogamma Visual Logger for OPC and InfluxDB

This article describes an end-to-end solution built with open source components InfluxDB and Grafana and the ogamma Visual Logger for OPC, to collect industrial process control data, analyze it in streaming mode, and visualize it in a dashboard.

Webinar: Achieve comprehensive observability with Sensu and Elasticsearch

The Elasticsearch data platform is ideal for analyzing monitoring and observability data. But if your multi-cloud journey has led you to multiple monitoring and observability tools, you may face challenges getting all that data into Elasticsearch. In this webinar, Sensu Developer Advocate Todd Campbell shows you how to get the most out of your Elasticsearch investment — and achieve deeper visibility — with the Sensu observability pipeline.

Detecting DGA Activity in Network Data with Elastic ML - Oct 1, 2020 Elastic Stockholm Meetup

After infecting a target machine, many malicious programs need to communicate with a command & control server ( C & C) that is controlled by the malware author. In order to avoid detection and subvert defensive measures, malware authors employ domain generation algorithms (DGA), which enable the malware to generate hundreds or thousands of new domains, one of which is then registered by the malware author as the location of the C&C server.

Train, evaluate, monitor, infer: End-to-end machine learning in Elastic

Machine learning pipelines have evolved tremendously in the past several years. With a wide variety of tools and frameworks out there to simplify building, training, and deployment, the turnaround time on machine learning model development has improved drastically. However, even with all these simplifications, there is still a steep learning curve associated with a lot of these tools. But not with Elastic.

Solving Runaway Series Cardinality When Using InfluxDB

In this post, you’ll learn what causes high series cardinality in a time series database and how to locate and eliminate the culprits. First, for those of you just encountering this concept, let’s define it: The number of unique database, measurement, tag set, and field key combinations in an InfluxDB instance. Because high series cardinality is a primary driver of high memory usage for many database workloads, it is important to understand what causes it and how to resolve it.
