Components of Time Series Data
Time series data typically consists of:
- Time: The moment when the data point was recorded.
- Metadata: Descriptive information about the data source, often immutable and used for identification.
- Measurements: The actual observed values corresponding to specific timestamps.
For instance, in weather monitoring, metadata could include details about the sensor and location, while measurements might capture temperature fluctuations over time.

In the realm of data management, time series data presents unique challenges due to its sequential and timestamped nature. MongoDB, a leading NoSQL database, has introduced native support for time series data starting from version 5.0, offering enhanced capabilities in storing and querying this specialized data type.
