MindsDB

MindsDB is an open-source machine learning platform that enables developers to easily incorporate advanced machine learning capabilities with existing databases.

MindsDB reaches GreptimeDB through the MySQL protocol using its GreptimeDB handler.

The handler ships as a community handler, and community handlers are disabled by default. Enable them before creating the data source, then restart MindsDB:

export MINDSDB_COMMUNITY_HANDLERS=true

Once enabled, configure GreptimeDB as a data source:

CREATE DATABASE greptime_datasource
WITH ENGINE = 'greptimedb',
PARAMETERS = {
  "host": "<host>",
  "port": 4002,
  "database": "<dbname>",
  "user": "<username>",
  "password": "<password>",
  "ssl": True
};

  • <host> is the hostname or IP address of your GreptimeDB instance.
  • <dbname> is the name of the database you want to connect to.
  • <username> and <password> are your GreptimeDB credentials.

MindsDB is a great gateway for many machine learning features, including time-series forecasting, for your time series data stored in our instance. See MindsDB docs for more information.
