Tracking vessel movements seamlessly with continuous data collection and query execution
We mainly write and read data from InfluxDB. We perform very simple queries to do time series on a key, which is a unique ID of the vessel. We will select a vessel and select from time to time stamp. That’s what we do. InfluxDB’s core functionality is crucial as it allows us to store our data and execute queries with excellent response times.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The machine learning feature is valuable."
"InfluxDB reduced my time to show data without any interruption, also reducing the number of people needed to manage the project; it is very good to have InfluxDB in my project."
"It helps me maintain my solution easily because it is very reliable, so we didn't face any performance issues or crashes regarding our queries; we can get the results very fast."
"InfluxDB works as expected with excellent scalability and stability, which is critical for our application."
"In our case, it started with a necessity to fill the gap that we had in monitoring. We had very reactive monitoring without trend analysis and without some advanced features. We were able to implement them by using a time series database. We are able to have all the data from applications, logs, and systems, and we can use a simple query language to correlate all the data and make things happen, especially with monitoring. We could more proactively monitor our systems and our players' trends."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is we can use InfluxDB to integrate with and plug into any other tools."
"The solution is very powerful."
"InfluxDB's best feature is that it's a cloud offering. Other good features include its time-series DB, fast time-bulk queries, and window operations."
"The platform operates very quickly. It is easy to configure, connect, and query and integrates seamlessly with Grafana."
 

Cons

"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."
"InfluxDB cannot be used for high-cardinality data. It's also difficult and time-consuming to write queries, and there are some issues with bulk API."
"The error logging capability can be improved because the logs are not very informative."
"I chose an 8 out of 10 because there is room for improvement, such as regarding backups and enhanced security through other types of authentication or encrypted data in TLS."
"It is challenging to get long-running backups while running InfluxDB in a Microsoft Azure Kubernetes cluster."
"It is challenging to get long-running backups while running InfluxDB in a Microsoft Azure Kubernetes cluster."
"The solution doesn't have much of a user interface."
"The solution's UI can be more user-friendly."
"InfluxDB is generally stable, but we've encountered issues with the configuration file in our ticket stack. For instance, a mistake in one of the metrics out of a hundred KPIs can disrupt data collection for all KPIs. This happens because the agent stops working if there's an issue with any configuration part. To address this, it is essential to ensure that all configurations are part of the agent's EXE file when provided. This makes it easier to package the agent for server installation and ensures all KPIs are available from the server. Additionally, the agent cannot encrypt and decrypt passwords for authentication, which can be problematic when monitoring URLs or requiring authentication tokens. This requires additional scripting and can prolong service restart times."
