The InfluxData TICK Stack is a complete IoT data platform that can perform various functions such as collecting, aggregating, storing, analyzing, and visualizing data from sensors, acting as a central location for IoT installations. A gateway device is used to collect all the data from sensors in one place before shipping it to the cloud. The InfluxDB Cloud instance acts as a central database for metrics, events, and real-time analytics. The TICK Stack can be easily configured using configuration files, and Telegraf is a plugin-driven agent-based data collection tool that provides an easy interface for building custom plugins. Kapacitor is a stream processing tool used to process, monitor, and alert on time series data. An IoT Gateway device can enable localized data analysis, which is particularly useful for local plant managers who want to analyze data without relying on cloud-based systems. The InfluxData TICK Stack can be built using various devices such as Raspberry Pi, and developers can use the balena.io dashboard to deploy code and complete configuration.
