Talk Title: RESTful API – How to Consume, Extract, Store, and Visualize Data with InfluxDB and Grafana

Nowadays, every single modern application, system or solution does expose a RESTful API. On one hand, this is absolutely great and it has led to where we are today, having hundreds of other solutions or applications that can leverage these APIs, extend them, or even build on top of them.

On the other hand, we have difficulty monitoring these new and modern systems, applications or solutions.

In this session, we will learn how to query the data first using Swagger, when available, extract and parse the data that’s useful for us, store it in InfluxDB, and finally how to create beautiful and meaningful dashboards to have everything on a single pane of glass.
