Valeiot Data Point

Overview

The Valeiot Data Point is a time-series data structure used to represent a single measurement or observation captured by an external component (such as a device, sensor, log, etc). It is the recommended format for handling large volumes of time-series data—for example, when dealing with millions or even billions of records.

Each Data Point contains the following properties:

• variable (string) – e.g. "temperature" "humidity" "pressure"
• value (any) – e.g. 27.1 "on" null {lat: 0, lng: 0}
• time (RFC3339 timestamp) – e.g. "2025-03-25T21:03:07.550619Z"
  • If left null, the system will automatically use the current timestamp at the moment the data is inserted.

Example 1:

{
  "variable": "temperature",
  "value": 27.1,
  "time": "2023-03-25T21:03:07.550619Z"
}

Example 2:

{
  "variable": "location",
  "value": {
    "lat": 0.00,
    "lng": 0.00
  }
  "time": "2023-03-25T21:03:07.550619Z"
}

 

Working with a different data format?

Valeiot Data Point must follow the presented structure. You should adequate the data before inserting in Valeiot to work. Resources that may be helpful are: Payload Parser and Middleware .

 

Edition

Data Points are immutable and cannot be edited after being created.

Deletion

Data Points can be deleted by specifying a time range and a limit.

Fetching

Data Points can be retrieved by defining a time range and a limit.
