InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
Alternatively, awesome is build on top of lgi which exposes GLib objects introspection. It means you can reach in your lua code some objects/services exposed through GLib. https://github.com/pavouk/lgi
I used this mechanism for my battery widget in awesome https://github.com/Aire-One/awesome-battery_widget. Long story short : I have the upower daemon running on my system, and upowerGLib exposes an API to GLib. It calls a callback function when the battery status change. In my awesome rc.lua, I connect to this callback so the battery widget is automatically always up-to-date with the daemon.
