Storage and dashboards for hardware teams

See your hardware.
Stay on the mission.

Plexus stores and visualizes your machine's data, so your startup spends its time on the machine, not on building dashboards.

Keep your stack

Store your machine data in Plexus Time Series, our time-series database built for hardware: years of history and nothing to run. Already run Postgres, TimescaleDB or ClickHouse? Plexus can connect to those too, and Prometheus can send to Plexus with remote_write. Either way, alerts reach your team by Slack, email, or an on-call phone call.

Build what you need next

You know your machine best. Describe the chart you're picturing, in your own words, and build it on the data you already have.

Your words

Ask for the view you need. No query language to learn.

Your data

Built on your real telemetry, not a template.

Embed anywhere

Send a link, or put a chart or stat panel inside your own product, site or customer portal.

Watched

Set an alert on anything you build.

Questions

What is Plexus?
Plexus is storage and dashboards for hardware teams. It stores and visualizes data from drones, robots and IoT devices, and alerts your team by Slack, email or an on-call phone call when something needs them. It's made by Plexus Aerospace, Inc. in Omaha.
What hardware does it work with?
Anything that can make an HTTP request. Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson and other Linux boards use the Python SDK (pip install plexus-python). ESP32, Arduino and other microcontrollers send JSON over HTTP. You can also import PX4 flight logs.
Which databases does it connect to?
PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB, ClickHouse, MySQL and QuestDB today, with InfluxDB partly supported. Prometheus can send to Plexus with remote_write. Each integration page says exactly what Plexus reads and what it doesn't.
Do I need my own database?
No. Plexus stores it for you in Plexus Time Series. If you already have one, Plexus can also connect to Postgres, TimescaleDB, ClickHouse, MySQL or QuestDB and chart it next to everything else.
How much does it cost?
Free covers up to 3 devices and 7 days of history, with no card. Pro is $199 a month: every device, the history you choose, alerts, video and sharing. 50 GB of readings included, then $0.10 per GB-month. Video is $0.50 per GB-month.
Where is my data stored, and for how long?
In Plexus Time Series, our storage built for machine data. On Pro you choose how long each device's raw readings are kept, up to 3 years; 1-minute rollups are kept 90 days and hourly rollups 5 years. Free keeps the last 7 days.
How do I get my data out?
Query any metric over the HTTP API and get JSON back, or download any device, metric and time range as a CSV or Parquet file.
How is Plexus different from Grafana?
Grafana is a flexible, mature dashboard builder with a huge plugin ecosystem; you bring the storage, build the dashboards and write the alerts. Plexus is built for hardware: it includes storage, builds the first dashboard from the data your devices send, and ships alerts, including when a device goes offline. You can run both on the same database.
