Integration details
ctrlX Data Layer
<p>The ctrlX Telegraf plugin provides a means to gather data from the ctrlX Data Layer, a communication middleware designed for professional automation applications. This plugin allows users to connect to ctrlX CORE devices, enabling the collection and monitoring of various metrics related to industrial and building automation, robotics, and IoT. The configuration options allow for detailed specifications of connection settings, subscription properties, and sampling rates, facilitating effective integration with the ctrlX Data Layer to meet customized monitoring needs, while leveraging the unique capabilities of the ctrlX platform.</p>
Apache Inlong
<p>This Inlong plugin is designed to publish metrics to an Apache InLong instance, which facilitates the management of data streams in a scalable manner. Apache InLong provides a robust framework for efficient data transmission between various components in a distributed environment. By leveraging this plugin, users can effectively route and transmit metrics collected by Telegraf to their InLong data-proxy infrastructure. As a key component in a data pipeline, the Inlong Output Plugin helps ensure that data is consistently formatted, streamed correctly, and managed in compliance with the standards set by Apache InLong, making it an essential tool for organizations looking to enhance their data analytics and reporting capabilities.</p>

Input and output integration examples
ctrlX Data Layer
<ol> <li> <p><strong>Industrial Automation Monitoring</strong>: Utilize this plugin to continuously monitor key performance indicators from a manufacturing system controlled by ctrlX CORE devices. By subscribing to specific data nodes that provide real-time metrics such as resource availability or machine uptime, manufacturers can dynamically adjust their operations for increased efficiency and minimal downtime.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Energy Consumption Analysis</strong>: Collect energy consumption data from IoT-enabled ctrlX CORE platforms in a smart building setup. By analyzing trends and patterns in energy use, facility managers can optimize operating strategies, reduce energy costs, and support sustainability initiatives, making informed decisions about resource allocation and predictive maintenance.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Predictive Maintenance for Robotics</strong>: Gather telemetry data from robotics applications deployed in warehousing environments. By monitoring vibration, temperature, and operational parameters in real-time, organizations can predict equipment failures before they occur, leading to reduced maintenance costs and enhanced robotic system uptime through timely interventions.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Cross-Platform Data Integration</strong>: Connect data gathered from ctrlX CORE devices into a centralized Cloud data warehouse using this plugin. By streaming real-time metrics to other systems, organizations can create a unified view of operational performance across various manufacturing and operational systems, enabling data-driven decision-making across diverse platforms.</p> </li> </ol>
Apache Inlong
<ol> <li> <p><strong>Real-time Metrics Monitoring</strong>: Integrating the Inlong plugin with a real-time monitoring dashboard allows teams to visualize system performance continuously. As metrics flow from Telegraf to InLong, organizations can create dynamic panels in their monitoring tools, providing instant insights into system health, resource utilization, and performance bottlenecks. This setup encourages proactive management and swift identification of potential issues before they escalate into critical failures.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Centralized Data Processing</strong>: Use the Inlong plugin to send Telegraf metrics to a centralized data processing pipeline that processes large volumes of data for analysis. By directing all collected metrics through Apache InLong, businesses can streamline their data workflows and ensure consistency in data formatting and processing. This centralized approach facilitates easier data integration with business intelligence tools and enhances decision-making through consolidated data insights.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Integration with Machine Learning Models</strong>: By feeding metrics collected through the Inlong Output Plugin into machine learning models, teams can enhance predictive analytics capabilities. For instance, metrics can be analyzed to predict system failures or performance trends. This application allows organizations to leverage historical data and infer future performance, helping them optimize resource allocation and minimize downtime using automated alerts based on model predictions.</p> </li> </ol>
