Kapacitor Description
Kapacitor, a native data processing engine in InfluxDB 1.x, is an integral component of the InfluxDB 2.0 platform. Kapacitor is able to process both batch and stream data from InfluxDB. It can also act on these data in real time via its programming language TICKscript. Modern applications need more than operator alerts and dashboarding. They also require the ability to trigger actions. Kapacitor's alerting system uses a publish-subscribe design. Alerts are sent to topics, and subscribers subscribe to a topic. Kapacitor is very flexible and can be used to control your environment. It can perform tasks such as stock reordering and auto-scaling. Kapacitor has a simple plugin architecture (or interface) that allows it integrate with any anomaly detector engine.
