SUMMARY
Grafana plays a major role in various IoT applications by providing real-time monitoring and visualization of data from different sources. It is used in smart home monitoring to track parameters such as temperature, humidity, and energy usage; in industrial IoT for monitoring machine performance and detecting anomalies; in environmental monitoring to visualize air quality, weather patterns, or water levels; and in fleet management to track vehicle locations and fuel consumption.
Grafana’s capabilities are also applied to specific domains such as agriculture, water management, and cultural preservation, where it helps optimize irrigation, manage water resources, and maintain appropriate conditions for artifacts. Building a dashboard in Grafana involves connecting data sources, configuring visualizations, and setting up alerts for a comprehensive overview of the monitored system.

IntermediateIntroduction to Time Series Databases
By Beia Consult InternationalTime Series Databases (TSDBs) efficiently store and retrieve time-stamped data for applications like IoT, monitoring, and finance. They come in SQL-based (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) for structured queries and NoSQL-based (e.g., InfluxDB, MongoDB) for scalability and high-velocity data handling. The choice depends on data volume, query complexity, and scalability needs.
