Eclipse Kapua integrates with InfluxDB

Overview

Eclipse Kapua and InfluxDB form a powerful combination for IoT data storage and analytics. Kapua manages device connectivity and initial data ingestion, while InfluxDB provides scalable time-series storage.

Integration Architecture

Devices → Kapua → REST/Line Protocol → InfluxDB → Grafana

• Kapua: Device management, MQTT ingestion, message routing
• InfluxDB: Time-series storage, downsampling, retention policies

Use Cases

• Sensor Analytics: Store high-frequency sensor data from Kapua-managed devices
• Historical Trends: Query months or years of device telemetry
• Predictive Maintenance: Use InfluxDB data for ML model training

Configuration

1. Deploy InfluxDB instance
2. Configure Kapua message routing to forward telemetry
3. Set up InfluxDB buckets and retention policies
4. Connect Grafana to InfluxDB for visualization
