Data logging/ importing from csv files
I've been tasked with finding an alternative solution to using dedicated data historian packages for historizing data. This will grow to be hundreds of data points logged every second into a csv file...
I have multiple devices at remote sites that log time stamped process data (pressure, temperature, etc) every second to a local csv file and periodically push those out to folders in an in house ftp server. Rather than keep accumulating csv files, I'd like to import them into some sort of database where the data can be accessed as necessary. Is Power BI the right tool for this? I know this is kind of vague, but I"m trying to avoid the gotcha's down the road.
