Apache IoTDB (Internet of Things Database) is an integrated data management engine designed for timeseries data, which can provide users specific services for data collection, storage, and analysis. IoTDBs can be extremely useful to organizations that use automated production lines, environment sensors, or robotics equipment to collect data related to their production processes and make sure all equipment involved are working at optimal performance. Although this database is used to store such data, there is still the matter of monitoring the database engine that is used for these organizations to perform analysis on the data they are collecting. With RapDev’s Apache IoTDB integration, engineers, database administrators, and quality analysts can use the metrics extracted to ensure the health of the equipment and processes their applications support are functioning optimally.
Efficient write performance is crucial for real-time data ingestion and storage, as IoT environments generate vast amounts of data at high frequencies. Timely and accurate recording of sensor readings, telemetry, and other critical information is essential for enabling responsive and reliable IoT applications. The ability to swiftly handle write operations ensures that the database can keep pace with the continuous influx of data from diverse sources, preventing bottlenecks and data loss. This integration submits metrics for the writing time cost for write-ahead logging (WAL) operations and client requests so users can guarantee their data is properly making it to the IoTDB in a timely manner so it can be utilized for analysis.
In processes involving IoT devices, where real-time decision-making and analysis are critical, uninterrupted access to the timeseries data being stored within the database is essential. Consistent availability makes sure that stakeholders can query historical data, detect patterns, and derive insights without delays. Whether it's optimizing industrial processes, monitoring environmental conditions, or managing smart infrastructure, the ability to query timeseries data without interruption ensures actionable intelligence from the information being tracked. With the RapDev Apache IoTDB integration, users can monitor the time consumed of loading, reading, filtering, consuming, or constructing timeseries and chunk metadata so they know their data will be available when they need it most.
In Apache IoTDB, the backing JVM serves as the execution environment. Being able to see metrics related to the JVM such as heap utilization, garbage collection, and threads is extremely important when it comes to the overall performance of the system. Our integration collects these metrics, as well as those related to the JVM buffer and young and old memory, so administrators are able to easily view the overall health of the system that serves as the gateway between the data and the tools being used for analysis of that data.
Additionally, monitoring network connections is crucial for assessing communication between the IoTDB instances and the devices connected to them. Being able to view network-related metrics related to number of connections and bytes and packets transmitted can help administrators identify potential connection issues that might be impacting data transmission, thus compromising the real-time data use case that IoTDBs serve.
On top of a standard monitor and dashboard to get users started, the RapDev Apache IoTDB integration also comes with a pre-built Datadog log pipeline. By submitting Apache IoTDB logs to Datadog, information can be analyzed and correlated to the metrics collected to provide additional context to specific issues going on within the system.
