Acquire practical, rapid knowledge of InfluxDB, Kapacitor, and Telegraf through example-driven lessons from Mark Vandermeer, with hands-on practice and community engagement.
Explore how InfluxDB, Telegraf, and chronograph support time-stamped data collection, storage, and visualization, and learn setup, configuration, retention policies, and basic line protocol.
Understand how retention policies shape query results, correct data types for inserts, and perform backups, imports, and index management in InfluxDB.
Learn to configure Telegraf to limit fields, test capture at 10-second intervals, and use Kapacitor to record and replay data points for stream and batch tasks.
See how Kapacitor part 1 works with InfluxDB and Telegraf to stream data, log outputs, configure alerts, and perform batch and query operations with every and period.
Learn to build and join data streams with kapacitor part 2, using window, combine, and evil nodes to shape fields, timestamps, and alerts in telegraph and influxdb.
Telegraf collects metrics through input plugins and routes data to output destinations, with processors, aggregators, and filters. Configure interval, collection jitter, omit hostname, and validate configurations with telegraph test.
First of all , do not subscribe if the course costs more than 25€ !
This course is a very good introduction to the concepts of influxDB , all examples are tested on a Linux platform.
It is based on my experience which helped me to earn the InfluxAce title from Influxdata.
It goes from beginner to intermediate level and has even some advanced examples in the Kapacitor lectures.
This course will be updated based on feedback from the students .
Studente that have already enrolled are enthousiastic about it and rate it high.
You will reach an intermediate level in a very efficient and short way by only looking at these lectures.
