Tutorial

This tutorial shows you how to create a database populated with sample data sets and run sample queries. The sample data sets used in this tutorial are frequently seen in IoT and DevOps scenarios. The IoT data set contains time series data such as the speed, location, and load of a truck, to streamline fleet management and identify optimization opportunities. The DevOps data set contains EC2 instance metrics such as CPU, network, and memory utilization to improve application performance and availability. Here's a video tutorial for the instructions described in this section.

Follow these steps to create a database populated with the sample data sets and run sample queries using the AWS Console:

Using the console

Follow these steps to create a database populated with the sample data sets and run sample queries using the AWS Console:

  1. Open the AWS Console.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Databases

  3. Click on Create database.

  4. On the create database page, enter the following:

    • Choose configuration—Select Sample database.

    • Name—Enter a database name of your choice.

      Note

      After creating a database with sample data sets, to use the sample queries which are available in the console, you can adjust the database name referenced in the query to match the database name you enter here. There are sample queries for each combination of sample data set and type of time series records.

    • Choose sample data sets—Select IoT and DevOps.

    • Choose the type of time series records—Select Multi-measure records.

    • Click on Create database to create a database containing two tables populated with sample data. The table names for sample data sets with multi-measure records are DevOpsMulti and IoTMulti. The table names for sample datasets with single-measure records are DevOps and IoT.

  5. In the navigation pane, choose Query editor

  6. Select Sample queries from the top menu.

  7. Click on one of the sample queries for a data set you chose when creating the sample database. This will take you back to the query editor with the editor populated with the sample query.

  8. Adjust the database name for the sample query.

  9. Click Run to run the query and see query results.

Using the SDKs

Timestream Live Analytics provides a fully functional sample application that shows you how to create a database and table, populate the table with ~126K rows of sample data, and run sample queries. The sample application is available in GitHub for Java, Python, Node.js, Go, and .NET.

  1. Clone the GitHub repository Timestream Live Analytics sample applications following the instructions from GitHub.

  2. Configure the AWS SDK to connect to Amazon Timestream Live Analytics following the instructions described in Using the AWS SDKs .

  3. Compile and run the sample application using the instructions below:
