Datius Documentation
Datius is a business telemetry engine: send it typed, tagged signals from anywhere in your stack — a checkout event, a queue wait time, a sensor reading — and query them back as dashboards, live telemetry, and historical reports, all backed by embedded DuckDB over partitioned Parquet files. No external data warehouse required.
How it fits together
Every workspace is an isolated telemetry namespace within an organization. You define signals (a machine key, a data type, and an optional tag schema), ingest events against them via API key, and build dashboards or run ad-hoc reports over the result — the same signal definitions power the dashboard widgets, the Live Telemetry inspector, and the Reports view.
- Ingestion API — a single, high-throughput endpoint for sending one event or a batch, authenticated by a workspace-scoped API key. See Ingestion API.
- Signals — typed, tagged event definitions; see Signal Schemas & Tags.
- Dashboards & Reports — scorecards, charts, and historical breakdowns built directly on top of your signals, no separate modeling step.
- Alert Rules — get notified by webhook or email the moment a single ingested event crosses a threshold you define. See Alert Rules.
