Ask HN: What TSDB database do you use on embedded Linux systems?

5 points by wojciii 3y ago ↗ HN

Hi,

I'm evaluating TSDB products for use on an embedded platform.

I tried TDengine but it doesn't appear to work on ARM and has some red flags in the way it's built.

I need to save a lot of telemetry (many simple values written every second or so) on the device and expose it using a web interface.

What products have you used for a similar task?

I think ClickHouse should fit.

There are many examples of its usage at the edge: https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/about-us/adopters

E.g., FastNetMon: https://fastnetmon.com/docs-fnm-advanced/fastnetmon-advanced...

PS. I'm the author of ClickHouse.

I forgot to mention that ClickHouse works on ARM.

We build two binaries for ARM: one for modern AArch64 servers and another for older and smaller devices without the support for the latest CPU instructions.

Thank you. This looks interesting and I will evaluate ClickHouse. :)

I'm Pavel from FastNetMon and we do for sure love Clickhouse as TSDB for embedded systems and we have multiple deployments on ARM64.
