InfluxDB Native Collector allows users to set up direct, cloud-to-cloud connections between web services and InfluxDB to accelerate data collection. Here, Gary Fowler discusses the basics of the Native Collector feature.

InfluxDB provides many ways to collect data. The newest one is the Native Collector feature. But when should you use the native collector and when should you use a different option, like Telegraf? Gary Fowler uses MQTT to show the different options and why you might choose one over the other.

The team at InfluxData has been hard at work building a brand new query experience into the GUI, and recently gave us a look at what's coming.

The 'edge' is the place where the physical world meets the digital world. More and more businesses rely on workloads at the edge, especially in the IoT and IIoT spaces. Define the edge to fit your needs. InfluxDB has the tools and resources to use data at the edge and in the cloud, and to create reliable, durable data pipelines between them.

Flux Engineer Sean Brickley shows some major improvements coming to the Flux language to support more ways to join together multiple tables of data.

Telegraf has over 300 plugins available in four different categories. Here, developer Mya Longmire talks about two of those categories, aggregators and processors, covering what they do and how to use them.

MQTT is one of the most common protocols used in IoT and IIoT. Here, Brian Gilmore and Mya Longmire talk discuss some MQTT basics, how to use MQTT with InfluxDB, and some of the advantages that combining MQTT and InfluxDB bring to IoT and IIoT tech stacks.

Flux language developer Jonathan Sternberg demonstrates some query performance optimizations being made under the hood that make Flux faster for some of the most common use cases

InfluxDB has a feature that lets users invoke scripts using its API. Here, Jay Clifford explains how to use this feature with custom endpoints to improve the functionality, efficiency, and security of your applications.
