InfluxDB
Store and query time-series data such as sensor readings and server metrics. The historical TechHut monitoring guide uses InfluxDB 2; current Core releases use a different query and storage architecture.
InfluxDB is designed around measurements associated with timestamps, making it useful for data that arrives continuously and needs to be examined over time. A monitoring setup can send measurements into the database and use a dashboard tool to explore them. Understanding which InfluxDB generation you are running matters when following a guide, because its configuration and query workflow need to match your installation.
