Summary

InfluxDB is an open source time series database designed to handle high write and query loads, capable of storing metrics, events, logs, traces from various systems and industries. Sensu is a monitoring event pipeline that collects, processes, and routes different event types, including discovery, availability, telemetry, and alerts. Grafana is an open source metric analytics and visualization suite used for visualizing time series data for infrastructure and application analytics. InfluxDB and Sensu can work together to create a complete, scalable monitoring solution by ingesting metrics into InfluxDB through the Sensu event pipeline, allowing for data extraction, storage, instrumenting, and visualizing of metric data. The combination provides a robust monitoring solution encompassing event monitoring, data ingestion, and dashboarding, suitable for dynamic, distributed environments.
