I do not know much about DuckDB but it sure looks awesome.

Something I haven't found yet is a small swiss army knife for time series type of data: system and network monitoring, sensors and market data.

I usually put everything in Prometheus but it is awkward.

I would really love to find something I can query intuitively with SQL, have very basic plotting capability, read/parse some log files, can be queried without having to deal with REST/JSON, and support adding data with pushes.

I am wondering if this is not within DuckDB broad capabilities...



Have a look at https://sql-workbench.com eventually. It runs DuckDB WASM in the browser, and with Perspective, which is used for data visualization, you can also visualize timeseries.

You can either drag & drop data, or use remote data sources via https


You might give QuestDB a try, it supports all the above except native graphing, though it does support Grafana and have a nice query UI. It's lightweight and blazing fast in my experience.


Thanks, it looks awesome !


Duckdb cannot plot on its own. You would need to bring in matplotlib or some alternative.
