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>
IoTDB
<p>Apache IoTDB (Database for Internet of Things) is an IoT native database with high performance for data management and analysis, deployable on the edge and the cloud. Its light-weight architecture, high performance, and rich feature set create a perfect fit for massive data storage, high-speed data ingestion, and complex analytics in the IoT industrial fields. IoTDB deeply integrates with Apache Hadoop, Spark, and Flink, which further enhances its capabilities in handling large scale data and sophisticated processing tasks.</p>
