Summary

InfluxDB, The United Nations, and Radiation` The author recently attended a workshop at the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, where they represented InfluxData and EclipseIoT. The workshop aimed to teach participants from diverse backgrounds how to use IoT sensors over LoRaWAN to monitor radiation, with a focus on using InfluxDB and its TICK Stack for data collection, management, analysis, and visualization. The author worked with participants to help them build and deploy applications for remote radiation monitoring, including setting up Telegraf to pull data from an MQTT broker into InfluxDB. The workshop was run jointly with the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency, which monitors compliance with nuclear non-proliferation treaties and leakage from nuclear reactors. The event brought together a diverse group of participants who were working on exciting projects related to IoT and radiation monitoring.
