Clawdite v0.2

InfluxDB 2, MinIO Integration, and Unified API Documentation

  3 minute read  

We announce the release of Clawdite v0.2, a significant update focused on making the platform more resilient, modern, and developer-friendly. This release includes deep upgrades to our data infrastructure, enhanced data availability features, and a fully unified API documentation system designed to streamline integration and usage.

Key Highlights

Clawdite v0.2 is primarily a technical refinement release, aimed at making the platform faster, cleaner, and more accessible. While the functional data model from v0.1 remains stable, this version brings a host of improvements across the stack.

Migration to InfluxDB v2

We’ve fully migrated our time-series infrastructure to InfluxDB v2, adopting the latest features and architecture. This upgrade enables:

  • Better performance and scalability,
  • Native support for Flux, the new functional query language,
  • Improved access control and data organization.

This change affects all components relying on historical time-series data, including HDM, Grafana, and HDM-Web.

MinIO Integration for Offline Data Handling

To support scenarios where Gateways operate offline, Clawdite now integrates MinIO, a high-performance object storage system. This allows us to:

  • Store batches of data locally when live transmission is unavailable,
  • Ensure data integrity and continuity, even in intermittent network conditions,
  • Seamlessly ingest stored batches into Clawdite once connectivity is restored.

This makes Clawdite more robust and suitable for real-world industrial environments, where downtime or disconnection may occur.

HDM Updated for InfluxDB v2 and MinIO

The Historical Data Manager (HDM) has been refactored to:

  • Interact with InfluxDB v2 using Flux queries,
  • Retrieve and process offline-stored data from MinIO, ensuring that no operator or sensor data is lost,
  • Provide a unified interface for historical data access regardless of the data’s source.

These changes improve the reliability and transparency of data within the HDT ecosystem.

HDM-Web Now Powered by Flux

The HDM-Web has also been updated to fully support the new Flux query language, replacing the deprecated InfluxQL syntax. This provides:

  • More powerful and flexible query capabilities,
  • Compatibility with InfluxDB v2,
  • Improved query precision and filtering options in the web UI.

Grafana Dashboards Upgraded

Clawdite’s Grafana integration has received a full refresh:

  • Updated to the latest Grafana version,
  • Dashboards restructured to query InfluxDB via Flux,

Unified API Documentation with OpenAPI 3

We’ve taken a major step forward in developer experience by introducing complete API documentation using OpenAPI Specification v3. This includes:

  • A unified Swagger UI entry point that aggregates all Clawdite API specs in one place,
  • Interactive documentation for easier exploration and testing,
  • Improved onboarding for integrators and partners.

What’s Next?

Clawdite v0.2 reflects our commitment to:

  • Operational resilience through smarter data storage and fallback mechanisms,
  • Modernization through upgraded infrastructure and tooling,
  • Accessibility through well-documented, standards-compliant APIs.

As we look ahead to v0.3 and beyond, our roadmap includes:

  • Advanced interfaces for task planning and operator profiling,
  • Extended models for task performance tracking.
