Kapacitor documentation

Kapacitor is an open source data processing framework that makes it easy to create alerts, run ETL jobs and detect anomalies. Kapacitor is the final piece of the TICK stack.

Key features

Here are some of the features that Kapacitor currently supports that make it a great choice for data processing.

  • Process both streaming data and batch data.
  • Query data from InfluxDB on a schedule, and receive data via the line protocol and any other method InfluxDB supports.
  • Perform any transformation currently possible in InfluxQL.
  • Store transformed data back in InfluxDB.
  • Add custom user defined functions to detect anomalies.
  • Integrate with HipChat, OpsGenie, Alerta, Sensu, PagerDuty, Slack, and more.

The future of Flux

Flux is going into maintenance mode. You can continue using it as you currently are without any changes to your code.

Flux is going into maintenance mode and will not be supported in InfluxDB 3.0. This was a decision based on the broad demand for SQL and the continued growth and adoption of InfluxQL. We are continuing to support Flux for users in 1.x and 2.x so you can continue using it with no changes to your code. If you are interested in transitioning to InfluxDB 3.0 and want to future-proof your code, we suggest using InfluxQL.
