Getting Started Using Scripts with InfluxDB

Using scripts with a time-series database helps developers streamline application development, scale workloads and build lean integrations. Time-series data is everywhere, and that reality isn’t going to change. The very nature of time-series data means that time-series workloads differ from a lot of other kinds of data. Given the prevalence of time-series data in our modern, connected world, it’s more important than ever to ensure that developers have tools to manage it.

TL;DR Python, Pandas Dataframes, and InfluxDB

InfluxDB has over a dozen client libraries so developers can get started more easily and program in the language they’re most comfortable with. One of our most popular options is the Python client library. InfluxDB supports not just Python but pandas, a tool popular with data scientists for analyzing and manipulating data. You can use the client library to output data from InfluxDB into a DataFrame format pandas can ingest, and you can write pandas DataFrames directly to InfluxDB.

First, we launched the first fully manageable and auto-configurable agent designed to collect telemetry data at scale – Cribl Edge, which enables customers to move data collection, processing, and routing out into the data source itself.

Livin' on the Edge With Cribl Edge 4.0: Featuring Improved Scalability, Enhanced Fleet Management, and AppScope Integration

Cribl CEO Clint Sharp first announced Cribl Edge in March of 2022. Our SVP of Marketing, Abby Strong, complemented the announcement with a well-rounded blog post discussing why Cribl Edge is the first fully manageable and auto-configurable agent designed to collect telemetry data at scale. Even Aerosmith gave the product a shoutout! Well, not really, but wouldn’t it be fun if it was true? 🙂 We’re thrilled to be back with exciting news about the latest release of Cribl Edge (4.0).
