A computer system comprising:

• one or more computer readable storage devices configured to store one or more software modules including computer executable instructions;
• and
• one or more hardware computer processors in communication with the one or more computer readable storage devices and configured to execute the computer executable instructions in order to cause the computer system to:
• query a first database in a server for available metadata fields associated with a plurality of sets of time series data stored in a second database, the time series data including measurements generated by one or more sensors;
• receive a selection of a metadata filter criteria comprising a subset of the available metadata fields;
• transmit, to the server, an indication of the selected metadata filter criteria for the server to access the first database to identify, based on the available metadata fields stored in the first database, a subset of the plurality of sets of time series data that satisfy the selected metadata filter criteria and information for locating the subset in the second database;
• send, to the server, an indication of an aggregate analysis;
• receive, from the server, a result of the aggregate analysis performed on the subset;
• and
• cause display of a graphical visualization of the result.
