Time Series Store

Description

Time-series providers register through IFlexTimeSeriesStore. Your application code stays provider-agnostic while the selected provider handles ingestion, querying, and retention.

Infrastructure arrangement

When you add a time-series provider through Flex Studio, Flex generates the provider infrastructure and configuration:

1. Provider files under Infrastructure/Providers/{YourApplication}.DataStoreProviders/TimeSeries/{Provider}/

2. Default configuration under Application/EndPoints/{YourApplication}.EndPoint.CommonConfigs/AppSettings/DataStores/TimeSeries/{Provider}.json

Flex auto-wires generated Queries/Handlers/Plugins that use IFlexTimeSeriesStore—you only register the provider.

Configuration in DI

Register only the provider time-series store you need.

// Pick ONE provider.
services.AddFlexAzureDataExplorerTimeSeriesStore(configuration);
// services.AddFlexInfluxDBTimeSeriesStore(configuration);
// services.AddFlexTimescaleDBTimeSeriesStore(configuration);

appsettings.json

Time-series configuration is read from FlexBase:DataStores:TimeSeries:<Provider>.

Sample usage ({YourApplication})

public class MetricReporter
{
	private readonly IFlexTimeSeriesStore _timeSeries;

	public MetricReporter(IFlexTimeSeriesStore timeSeries)
		=> _timeSeries = timeSeries;

	public Task RecordAsync(MetricPoint point)
		=> _timeSeries.WriteAsync<MetricPoint>(point);
}

public class MetricPoint
{
	public string SeriesId { get; set; }
	public DateTime Timestamp { get; set; }
}

Provider considerations

• Keep secrets (tokens/credentials/connection strings) out of source control.

• Configure retention and batching in the provider section to match your telemetry volume.
