InfluxDB 
InfluxDB is an open source distributed time series database with no external dependencies. It's useful for metrics, events, and analytics with a built in HTTP API so you don't have to write any server side code to get up and running. InfluxDB is designed to answer queries in real-time. That means every data point is indexed as it comes in and is immediately available in queries that should return in < 100ms. It's designed to be scalabe, simple to install and manage, and fast to get data in and out.
Read an overview of the design goals and reasons for the project.
Check out the getting started guide to read about how to install InfluxDB, start writing data, and issue queries in just a few minutes.
See the list of libraries for different langauges. Or see the HTTP API documentation to start writing a library for your favorite language.
Building
Mac OS
- install the build dependencies of the project
brew install protobuf bison flex leveldb go hg bzr - Run
./test.sh
The second step should build the server and run the tests.
Note: if you're on Mac OS Mavericks, you might want to try to install go using brew install go --devel
Linux
- You need to get go from here
- Make sure go is on your PATH
- If you're on a redhat based distro
sudo yum install hg bzr protobuf-compiler flex bison - If you're on a debian based distro
sudo apt-get install hg bzr protobuf-compiler flex bison - Run
./test.sh
