Abstract: A system for storing time series data includes an ingester that prepares metadata indices associated with blocks of incoming time series data and stores the blocks of data in a time series database and the indices in a separate index database. The time series database distributes storage of the data blocks among multiple data nodes. A query layer receives queries and uses the index database to determine which data blocks are needed to process the query, and then requests only those data blocks from the time series database. Processing of the query is performed within the time series database only on those data nodes that contain relevant data, and partial results are passed to an output layer for formation into a final query result.

Abstract: A system for predicting events by associating time series data with other types of non-time series data can include a processor configured to receive a data stream including time series data transmitted from a sensor configured to measure an operating parameter of a component being monitored. The processor identifies sequences of interest in the time series data having predictive value. The processor compares the real-time data stream to a set of known historical patterns that act as effective leading indicators of different alarms and events. The processor extracts any identified sequences of interest from the time series data as an extracted event. The processor quantifies the relationship between the data of the extracted event and the known historical pattern by calculating a confidence level to denote a probability of occurrence of the event by comparing how closely the new time series data matches the data patterns associated with known events.

The processor identifies sequences of interest in the time series data having predictive value. The processor compares the real-time data stream to a set of pre-existing event data that act as effective leading indicators of different alarms and events. The processor extracts any identified sequences of interest from the time series data as an extracted event. The processor quantifies the relationship between the data of the extracted event and the known historical pattern by calculating a confidence level to denote a probability of occurrence of the event by comparing how closely the new time series data matches the data patterns associated with known events.

Abstract: Approaches are provided where, at a local computing device, time series data is received from an industrial component in a first format. This time series data additionally has a tag or identifier appended thereto and a quality setting. The tag is automatically converted to a descriptor used by an analytic system, and the time series data is converted to a format readable by the analytic system. This format is specified by at least a portion of an analytic system blueprint. The time series data is then transmitted to the analytic system such that the time series data and the descriptor are in a format that do not require additional conversions in order to be processed by the analytic system.

Abstract: Approaches are provided for a case management system where one or more exceptions are detected at an industrial machine. A case is then created which represents the one or more exceptions. Additional exceptions may also be linked to the created case which may occur after the creation of the case. The case is stored in an electronic database. One or more first trigger indications are generated which lead to updates to the case at a first time. The case is then responsively updated with first evidence and a first accompanying interpretation. The first update, trigger indications, evidence, and the accompanying interpretation are then linked in an electronic database to form a first linkage which is interpreted such that the evidence, interpretation, and underlying trigger are examined in the context of each other, and an action may be determined to take in mitigating the issue at the industrial machine.

One or more portions of the time series data is automatically retrieved from the transient memories.

Abstract: A data storage policy is determined. Time series data is received and a score for the time series data is determined. The score prioritizes the time series data according to a likelihood the time series data will be needed for future use. Based upon the data storage policy and the score, the time series data is stored at one or more data storage devices. The score is updated over time to reflect changing priorities regarding the use of the data.
