MonkDB Walk-Through Tutorial

MonkDB Team
November 24, 2025
10 Minutes

The video begins with an installation segment guiding through prerequisites, installing MonkDB on a server (or edge), connecting the Pgwire and REST endpoints, configuring TLS. It then moves into data ingestion, showing how to connect to SCADA/Historian systems, sensor streams, RTLS tags, geospatial maps, documents and vector search inputs. Next it covers schema design and unified storage: how MonkDB handles SQL tables, time-series tables, vector indexes, document stores and geospatial layers all within one engine. The tutorial demonstrates writing queries across modalities (e.g., SQL + vector search for hyperspectral images, time-series analysis for ventilation fans) to extract insights. Further, it shows agent setup defining a MonkAgent, binding it to data sources, encoding domain logic (e.g., airflow/gas rules for mining), configuring decision policies, and deploying the agent in advisory mode. The video then transitions into semi-auto/closed-loop mode—how to shift from recommendations to automatic set­point changes, monitor the loop, capture audit logs. Finally, the tutorial shows dashboard & analytics, M&V reports, compliance logs, traceability of decisions, and outlines best practices for scaling across sites.

Key Learning Outcomes

  • How to install and configure MonkDB edge or on-prem.

  • How to connect multiple data sources (SCADA, sensors, RTLS, documents, vector data) and ingest them.

  • How to design unified multi-modal schemas: combining SQL, time-series, geospatial, vector and documents.

  • How to perform cross-modal queries and advanced analytics (e.g., “find all airflow anomalies in zones with RTLS delays”).

  • How to set up and deploy MonkAgent, encode domain logic, define automation phases (advisory → semi-auto → closed-loop).

  • How to tie actions to safety/compliance policy layers, capturing full audit trails.

  • How to build dashboards and reporting for energy savings, safety incidents, autonomous operations KPIs.

  • Best practices for scaling operations, governance, traceability and enterprise readiness of the engine.
