Concepts: Data Model
Bucket
• All InfluxDB data is stored in a bucket. A bucket combines the concept of a database
and a retention period (the duration of time that each data point persists).
Measurement
• A name to a group of data at a high level (Table)
Tag set
• A set of key-value pairs to group data at a low level (values are strings)
Field set
• A set of key-value pairs to represent data (values are numerical & strings)
Timestamp
• Time of the data with nanosecond precision
Series
• A unique combination of measure+tags

Node-RED Tips

● Use off-the-peg custom nodes (such as


node-red-contrib-influxdb)
● Create yourself a basic UI using Dashboard early in your
development process
● Use groups in the design interface to make it easier to
organise your flows
● The Exec node make it easy to interact with a device’s
hardware and OS
● https://discourse.nodered.org/ is a great place to get help
