Configuration

A kdb Insights Database's configuration is composed of a schema, a stream, and multiple data tiers for real-time and historical data. In kdb Insights Enterprise, a database can be configured using the Web interface, or using package via the CLI.

At a minimum, an kdb Insights Database needs:

• A gateway for routing and an aggregator to aggregate responses.
• A set of labels to organize and route data queries.
• A schema configuration with one or more tables.
• A source stream to ingest data into the database.
• One or more data tiers for querying data.

Once the database has been configured, the database can be deployed.

Configuration methods

In kdb Insights Enterprise, configuration for a database can be submitted through a package. Databases can also be configured using the Web interface.
