Kapacitor 0.2.0, the alerting and data processing engine for time series data, has been released with several key features including stream data from InfluxDB or query from it, trigger events/alerts based on complex criteria, perform transformations using InfluxQL, store transformed data back into InfluxDB, process historical data, and more. This release is a bug fix release, marking the start of regular updates to Kapacitor, with plans to cut a release every month. The next big feature to be added is custom user functions, which will enable users to plugin in their own algorithms for anomaly detection or ETL jobs, with ease of use as a priority and community feedback being used to guide development. The next release is scheduled for January.
