About Kapacitor
Kapacitor is a native data processing engine for InfluxDB 1.x and is an integrated component in the InfluxDB 2.0 platform. Kapacitor can process both stream and batch data from InfluxDB, acting on this data in real-time via its programming language TICKscript. Today’s modern applications require more than just dashboarding and operator alerts—they need the ability to trigger actions. Kapacitor’s alerting system follows a publish-subscribe design pattern. Alerts are published to topics and handlers subscribe to a topic. This pub/sub model and the ability for these to call User Defined Functions make Kapacitor very flexible to act as the control plane in your environment, performing tasks like auto-scaling, stock reordering, and IoT device control. Kapacitor provides a simple plugin architecture, or interface, that allows it to integrate with any anomaly detection engine.
