• High volume of real-time writes
• Irregular (events) and regular (metrics)
• Retention policies
New workload requirements
• Aggregation and summation time-based functions
• Large range scans of many records
• Ordering, ranking, and limiting
Time-based queries
• Distributed by design
• Fast and consistent
• Always available
Scalability and availability
A modern Open Source Platform
built from the ground up for
metrics and events.
The Modern Engine for Metrics and Events

InfluxData Architectural Overview

Why TICK?
¨ Easy to use
¨ No External Dependencies
¨ Allow for metrics and events (regular and
irregular time-series)
¨ Horizontally Scalable
¨ Full Platform - Not just a single tool
¨ Pull and Push for collecting time series

¨ Plugin-driven server agent for collecting &
reporting metrics
¨ Pull metrics from third party APIs, or even listen
for metrics via a statsd and Kafka consumer
services
¨ Output plugins to send metrics to a variety of
other datastores, services, and message
queues, including
¨ InfluxDB, Graphite, OpenTSDB, Datadog,
Librato, Kafka, MQTT, NSQ, and many
others
¨ Minimal memory footprint
¨ Written entirely in Go. It compiles into a single
binary with no external dependencies

¨ Custom high performance datastore written
specifically for time series data
¨ The TSM engine allows for high ingest speed &
data compression
¨ Written entirely in Go. It compiles into a single
binary with no external dependencies
¨ Expressive SQL-like query language tailored to
easily query aggregated data
¨ Tags allow series to be indexed for fast and
efficient queries
¨ Retention policies efficiently auto-expire stale data
¨ Supports ephemeral time series (1+ Billion time
series) with TSI

Load Write Queries Cardinality

Performance

Hardware Recommendation
Load CPU RAM Disk (IOPS)
Must be SSD
Low 4 Cores 4-8G 500
Moderate 6 Cores 8-16G 500-1K
High 8+ Cores 16G+ 1K

An integrated user experience for the TICK stack:
¨ Administrative capabilities
○ Database creation
○ User management
○ Alert configuration
¨ Data exploration
○ Rapid creation & visualization of queries
○ Custom dashboards using collected
metrics & events
¨ Rapid time to value
○ Pre-built dashboards based on metrics
from Telegraf
¨ Create Kapacitor Tasks
○ Rules
○ TICKscript editor

¨ Open source data processing framework that
makes it easy to create alerts, run ETL jobs and
detect anomalies
¨ Downsample InfluxDB data
¨ Query data from InfluxDB on a schedule, and
receive data
¨ Perform data transformation and enrichment
¨ Store transformed data back in InfluxDB
¨ Add custom user defined functions to detect
anomalies
¨ Compatible with Prometheus scapers
¨ Integrate with HipChat, OpsGenie, Alerta,
Sensu, PagerDuty, Slack, and more

Load Tasks Writes Cardinality
Low < 10 < 100k/sec < 100k
