Plexus Time Series
Storage for your machine’s data
A time-series store built for hardware. Send readings from drones, robots and sensors, and they’re kept for years, rolled up, and on a dashboard. Nothing to run.
Nothing to run
No database to size, patch or back up. Send data and it's stored, indexed and ready to chart.
Years of history
On Pro, keep raw readings for up to 3 years. Recent data stays hot for fast queries; older data moves to object storage on its own.
Automatic rollups
1-minute and hourly rollups are built as data lands, so a year-long chart loads as fast as the last hour.
Query it over HTTP
Ask for any metric over any time range and get JSON back. Follow new data live over a WebSocket.
Bulk export to CSV and Parquet
Download any device, metric and time range as a file, for notebooks, reports or your own warehouse.
Choose your retention
On Pro, set how long each device's data is kept, from 7 days to 3 years. 50 GB of readings is included; past that, $0.10 per GB-month.
How long data is kept
| Raw readings | Your choice, up to 3 years (7 days hot, then object storage) |
| 1-minute rollups | 90 days |
| Hourly rollups | 5 years |
| Events | 3 years |
The table is Pro. Free keeps the last 7 days of history on up to 3 devices, no card. Pro is $199 a month with every device. 50 GB of readings included, then $0.10 per GB-month. Video is $0.50 per GB-month.

Questions
What is Plexus Time Series?
The storage built into Plexus: a hosted time-series store for machine data. Devices send readings and Plexus keeps them, rolls them up and shows them on dashboards, with nothing for you to run.
How long is my data kept?
On Pro, you choose per device, up to 3 years for raw readings and events; 1-minute rollups are kept 90 days and hourly rollups 5 years. Free keeps the last 7 days.
Can Plexus use a database I already run?
Yes. Plexus can also connect to the PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB, ClickHouse, MySQL or QuestDB you already run and query it live, read-only. Store new devices in Plexus and connect the rest.
How do I get my data out?
Query any metric over the HTTP API and get JSON back, or follow it live over a WebSocket. For files, the export endpoint downloads any device, metric and time range as CSV or Parquet.
