IoT device monitoring and analytics
IoT devices continuously generate device status data and business message data. Time Series Database (TSDB) stores and analyzes this data to support real-time device monitoring, business analytics and prediction, and troubleshooting.
IoT devices send data to Alibaba Cloud IoT over MQTT. From there, data flows to TSDB through one of two paths:
Direct path: Alibaba Cloud IoT writes data directly to TSDB.
Stream computing path: Alibaba Cloud IoT forwards data to a message service, which routes it through a stream computing system for real-time computation before writing to TSDB.
Front-end monitoring systems and big data processing systems then query TSDB to display real-time monitoring dashboards and analytics results.
Industrial monitoring for power, chemical, and manufacturing
Power, chemical, and manufacturing industries rely on real-time monitoring to track device status, detect failures early, and analyze business trends.
Devices transmit status and production data through industrial protocols to an industrial device gateway. The gateway forwards data to Alibaba Cloud IoT over MQTT, which routes it through a message service and stream computing system before writing the processed time series data to TSDB for storage and analysis.
System O&M (operations and maintenance) and real-time business monitoring
Monitoring large-scale application clusters and data centers gives teams full visibility into device status, resource usage, and business trends—enabling digital operations and automated development and O&M.
Raw metrics are collected from logs and other sources, processed in real time, and stored in TSDB. Monitoring and analytics systems then query TSDB to power real-time dashboards and alerting.
