Course details
Time series data—a data set that tracks a sample over time—is constantly being generated all around us. From data that powers financial markets and health and science institutions, to our cars, personal technology, and smart home devices, time series data allows us to gain insights into data from moment to moment or aggregate data to learn about trends based on a period of time. In this course, Jess Ingrassellino shows you how to gain insights into time series data by using InfluxDB, a database designed to ingest, analyze, and visualize time series data. Jess shows you how to navigate the InfluxDB cloud UI, covers several methods for bringing your data into InfluxDB, and then explains how to query your data to get meaningful insights.
