Introduction

This blueprint shows how to configure an InfluxDB time series database integration to stream data from your Particle device to the cloud.

Supported devices

Hardware and supplies

• Particle device (Photon 2, Boron, etc.)
• USB cable

Cloud services and integrations

• Webhook
• Cloud Secrets
• InfluxDB

Project description:

This tutorial walks you through setting up an InfluxDB time series database integration with Particle:

• Creating an InfluxDB bucket and API token
• Configuring Particle Cloud Secrets for secure credential storage
• Setting up a custom webhook to send data to InfluxDB
• Publishing time series data from your device firmware

The firmware periodically publishes JSON data which triggers the webhook to insert records into your InfluxDB instance.
