Google Cloud Stackdriver and IoTDB Integration

Input and output integration overview

<p>This plugin enables the collection of monitoring data from Google Cloud services through the Stackdriver Monitoring API. It is designed to help users monitor their cloud infrastructure’s performance and health by gathering relevant metrics.</p>

<p>This plugin saves Telegraf metrics to an Apache IoTDB backend, supporting session connection and data insertion.</p>

Integration details

Google Cloud Stackdriver

<p>The Stackdriver Telegraf plugin allows users to query timeseries data from Google Cloud Monitoring using the Cloud Monitoring API v3. With this plugin, users can easily integrate Google Cloud monitoring metrics into their monitoring stacks. This API provides a wealth of insights about resources and applications running in Google Cloud, including performance, uptime, and operational metrics. The plugin supports various configuration options to filter and refine the data retrieved, enabling users to customize their monitoring setup according to their specific needs. This integration facilitates a smoother experience in maintaining the health and performance of cloud resources and assists teams in making data-driven decisions based on historical and current performance statistics.</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>
