Setup Timescale for Unified Namespace data logging
- connect
psql -d "postgres://user:password@localhost/postgres"
- check
\dx # list extensions \dt # list all tables
- Create database
# DROP DATABASE unifiednamespace; CREATE DATABASE unifiednamespace OWNER user; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE unifiednamespace TO user; \c unifiednamespace # switch to database
Option A: Simple table (with topic as text column
-- Create table CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS process_value_numeric ( timestamp TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL, topic TEXT NOT NULL, value DOUBLE PRECISION NULL ); -- Create hypertable SELECT create_hypertable('process_value_numeric', 'timestamp'); -- add index CREATE INDEX ON process_value_numeric (topic, timestamp DESC);
- View table information
\d process_value_numeric
Option B: Linked tables (with topic as id)
- create topic table
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS topic ( id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, topic TEXT NOT NULL, UNIQUE(topic) );
- create data tables
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS process_value_numeric ( timestamp TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL, topic_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES topic(id), value DOUBLE PRECISION NULL, UNIQUE(timestamp, topic_id) );
Insert data
- via Node-RED
INSERT INTO process_value (timestamp, topic, value) VALUES ( now(), '{{{ msg.topic }}}', '{{{ msg.payload }}}' );
Get table size
SELECT hypertable_size('process_value');
Query
Grafana timefilter macro
- limits query to timeframe selected in grafana
SELECT * FROM process_value WHERE (topic = 'home/modbus-meter/sensor/total_system_power_w/state' AND $__timeFilter("time"))
