Input and output integration overview
<p>The OPC UA plugin provides an interface for retrieving data from OPC UA server devices, facilitating effective data collection and monitoring.</p>
<p>The Redis plugin enables users to send metrics collected by Telegraf directly to Redis. This integration is ideal for applications that require robust time series data storage and analysis.</p>
Integration details
OPC UA
<p>The OPC UA Plugin retrieves data from devices that communicate using the OPC UA protocol, allowing you to collect and monitor data from your OPC UA servers.</p>
Redis
<p>The Redis Telegraf plugin is designed for writing metrics to RedisTimeSeries, a specialized Redis database module for time series data. This plugin facilitates the integration of Telegraf with RedisTimeSeries, allowing for the efficient storage and retrieval of timestamped data. With RedisTimeSeries, users can take advantage of enhanced capabilities for managing time series data, including aggregated views and range queries. The plugin offers various configuration options to enable the flexibility needed to connect securely to your Redis database, including support for Authentication, Timeouts, data type conversions, and TLS configurations. The underlying technology leverages Redis’ efficiency and scalability, making it an excellent choice for high-volume metric environments, where real-time processing is essential.</p>

Input and output integration examples
OPC UA
<ol> <li> <p><strong>Basic Configuration</strong>: Set up the plugin with your OPC UA server endpoint and desired metrics. This allows Telegraf to start gathering metrics from the configured nodes.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Node ID Setup</strong>: Use the configuration to specify specific nodes, such as temperature sensors, to monitor their values in real-time. For example, configure node <code>ns=3;s=Temperature</code> to gather temperature data directly.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Group Configuration</strong>: Simplify monitoring multiple nodes by grouping them under a single configuration—this sets defaults for all nodes in that group, thereby reducing redundancy in setup.</p> </li> </ol>
Redis
<ol> <li> <p><strong>Monitoring IoT Sensor Data</strong>: Utilize the Redis Telegraf plugin to collect and store data from IoT sensors in real-time. By connecting the plugin to a RedisTimeSeries database, users can analyze trends in temperature, humidity, or other environmental factors. The ability to query historical sensor data efficiently will aid in predictive maintenance and help in resource management.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Financial Market Data Aggregation</strong>: Employ this plugin to track and store time-sensitive financial data from various sources. By sending metrics to Redis, financial institutions can aggregate and analyze market trends or price changes over time, providing them with actionable insights derived from reliable time series analytics.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Application Performance Monitoring (APM)</strong>: Implement the Redis plugin for gathering application performance metrics such as response times and CPU usage. Users can visualize their application’s performance over time with RedisTimeSeries, allowing them to identify bottlenecks and optimize resource allocation swiftly.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Energy Consumption Tracking</strong>: Leverage this plugin to monitor energy usage in buildings over time. By integrating with smart meters and sending data to RedisTimeSeries, municipalities or enterprises can analyze energy consumption patterns, helping to implement energy-saving measures and sustainability practices.</p> </li> </ol>
