With IaC (Infrastructure as Code) becoming de facto and ubiquitous, decent APIs have long been a must have on product evaluation checklists; there are of course a few exceptions – namely products aimed only at SMB (Small and Medium Business), immature startups, or freeware.
SIGNL4 is a cloud-based mobile alerting and incident response service. Third-party systems like monitoring tools, control systems or IoT sensors detect abnormalities and transmit events to SIGNL4 over the Internet. What if your systems cannot transmit critical events anymore? That might happen when the Internet is down or when the tool itself has a problem. In this case, SIGNL4 would miss critical events and could not turn them into alert notifications to your IT admins, technicians and experts.
If you’re a 1.x user of InfluxDB, you’re most likely more familiar with InfluxQL than you are with Flux. To gain a deep understanding of Flux, it’s important to understand: However, you can still use Flux without studying those topics. In this TL;DR, we’ll convert common InfluxQL queries into Flux and identify patterns between the two languages to help you get started using Flux more easily if you come from a InfluxQL or SQL background.
