InfluxDB supports many different tools for querying data, including: - InfluxDB user interface (UI) - [InfluxDB HTTP API](/influxdb/version/reference/api/) - [`influx` CLI](/influxdb/version/tools/influx-cli/) - [Chronograf](/chronograf/v1/) - [Grafana](/influxdb/version/tools/grafana/) - [InfluxDB client libraries](/influxdb/version/api-guide/client-libraries/) This tutorial walks you through the fundamentals of querying data in InfluxDB and focuses primarily on the two languages you can use to query your time series data: - **Flux**: A functional scripting language designed to query and process data from InfluxDB and other data sources. - **InfluxQL**: A SQL-like query language designed to query time series data from InfluxDB. {{% note %}} The examples in this section of the tutorial query the data from written in the [Get started writing data](/influxdb/version/get-started/write/#write-line-protocol-to-influxdb) section. {{% /note %}} ###### On this page: - [Query data with Flux](#query-data-with-flux) - [Flux query basics](#flux-query-basics) - [Execute a Flux query](#execute-a-flux-query) - [Query data with InfluxQL](#query-data-with-influxql) - [InfluxQL query basics](#influxql-query-basics) - [Execute an InfluxQL query](#execute-an-influxql-query) --- ## Query data with Flux Flux is a functional scripting language that lets you query and process data from InfluxDB and [other data sources](/flux/v0/query-data/). {{% note %}} This is a brief introduction to writing Flux queries. For a more in-depth introduction, see [Get started with Flux](/flux/v0/get-started/). {{% /note %}} ### Flux query basics When querying InfluxDB with Flux, there are three primary functions you use: - [from()](/flux/v0/stdlib/influxdata/influxdb/from/): Queries data from an InfluxDB bucket. - [range()](/flux/v0/stdlib/universe/range/): Filters data based on time bounds. Flux requires "bounded" queries—queries limited to a specific time range. - [filter()](/flux/v0/stdlib/universe/filter/): Filters data based on column values. Each row is represented by `r` and each column is represented by a property of `r`. You can apply multiple subsequent filters. To see how `from()` structures data into rows and tables when returned from InfluxDB, [view the data written in Get started writing to InfluxDB](/influxdb/version/get-started/write/#view-the-written-data). {{< expand-wrapper >}} {{% expand "Learn more about how `filter()` works" %}} [`filter()`](/flux/v0/stdlib/universe/filter/) reads each row as a [record](/flux/v0/data-types/composite/record/) named `r`. In the `r` record, each key-value pair represents a column and its value. For example: ```js r = { _time: 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z, _measurement: "home", room: "Kitchen", _field: "temp", _value: 21.0, } ``` To filter rows, use [predicate expressions](/flux/v0/get-started/syntax-basics/#predicate-expressions) to evaluate the values of columns. Given the row record above: ```javascript (r) => r._measurement == "home" // Returns true (r) => r.room == "Kitchen" // Returns true (r) => r._field == "co" // Returns false (r) => r._field == "co" or r._field == "temp" // Returns true (r) => r._value <= 20.0 // Returns false ``` Rows that evaluate to `true` are included in the `filter()` output. Rows that evaluate to `false` are dropped from the `filter()` output. {{% /expand %}} {{< /expand-wrapper >}} #### Pipe-forward operator Flux uses the pipe-forward operator (`|>`) to pipe the output of one function as input the next function as input. #### Query the example data The following Flux query returns the **co**, **hum**, and **temp** fields stored in the **home** measurement with timestamps **between 2022-01-01T08:00:00Z and 2022-01-01T20:00:01Z**. ```js from(bucket: "get-started") |> range(start: 2022-01-01T08:00:00Z, stop: 2022-01-01T20:00:01Z) |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "home") |> filter(fn: (r) => r._field== "co" or r._field == "hum" or r._field == "temp") ``` ### Execute a Flux query Use the **InfluxDB UI**, **`influx` CLI**, or **InfluxDB API** to execute Flux queries. {{< tabs-wrapper >}} {{% tabs %}} [InfluxDB UI](#) [influx CLI](#) [InfluxDB API](#) {{% /tabs %}} {{% tab-content %}} 1. Visit {{% show-in "v2" %}}[localhost:8086](http://localhost:8086){{% /show-in %}} {{% show-in "cloud,cloud-serverless" %}}[cloud2.influxdata.com](https://cloud2.influxdata.com){{% /show-in %}} in a browser to log in and access the InfluxDB UI. 2. In the left navigation bar, click **Data Explorer**. {{< nav-icon "data-explorer" "v4" >}} 3. The InfluxDB Data Explorer provides two options for querying data with Flux: - [Query Builder](#query-builder) _(default)_: Visual query builder that lets you select the time range, measurement, tags, and fields to query. - [Script Editor](#script-editor): In-browser code editor for composing and running Flux scripts. --- #### Query builder **To build and execute a Flux query with the query builder**: 1. In the **{{% caps %}}FROM{{% /caps %}}** column, select the bucket to query. For this tutorial, select the **get-started** bucket. 2. In the next **filter** column, select **_measurement** from the column dropdown menu, and then select the **home** measurement. 3. _(Optional)_ To query a specific field or fields, in the next **filter** column, select **_field** from the column dropdown menu, and then select the fields to query. In this tutorial, there are three fields: **co**, **hum**, and **temp**. 4. _(Optional)_ To query by specific tag values, in the next **filter** column, select then tag column from the column dropdown menu, and then select the tag values to filter by. In this tutorial, the tag only tag column is **room**. 5. _(Optional)_ In the **{{% caps %}}Aggregate Function{{% /caps %}}** pane, select an aggregate or selector function to use to downsample the data. The default aggregate function is `mean`. 6. In the time range dropdown menu, select **Custom Time Range**, and select the following dates from the date selectors: - **Start**: 2022-01-01 08:00:00 - **Stop**: 2022-01-01 20:00:01 _Note the addition of one second to the stop time. In Flux, stop times are exclusive and will exclude points with that timestamp. By adding one second, the query will include all points to 2022-01-01 20:00:00_. 7. Click **{{% caps %}}Submit{{% /caps %}}** to execute the query with the selected filters and operations and display the result. --- #### Script editor **To write and execute a Flux query with the query builder**: 1. In the Data Explorer, click **{{% caps %}}Script Editor{{% /caps %}}**. 2. Write your Flux query in the Script Editor text field. _**Note**: You can either hand-write the functions or you can use the function list to the right of the script editor to search for and inject functions._ 1. Use `from()` and specify the bucket to query with the `bucket` parameter. For this tutorial, query the **get-started** bucket. 2. Use `range()` to specify the time range to query. The `start` parameter defines the earliest time to include in results. The `stop` parameter specifies the latest time (exclusively) to include in results. - **start**: 2022-01-01T08:00:00Z - **stop**: 2022-01-01T20:00:01Z _Note the addition of one second to the stop time. In Flux, stop times are exclusive and will exclude points with that timestamp. By adding one second, the query will include all points to 2022-01-01 20:00:00_. If you want to use the start and stop times selected in the time selection dropdown menu, use `v.timeRangeStart` and `v.timeRangeStop` as the values for the `start` and `stop` parameters. 3. Use `filter()` to filter results by the **home** measurement. 4. _(Optional)_ Use `filter()` to filter results by a specific field. In this tutorial, there are three fields: **co**, **hum**, and **temp**. 5. _(Optional)_ Use `filter()` to filter results by specific tag values. In this tutorial, there is one tag, **room**, with two potential values: **Living Room** or **Kitchen**. ```js from(bucket: "get-started") |> range(start: 2022-01-01T08:00:00Z, stop: 2022-01-01T20:00:01Z) |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "home") |> filter(fn: (r) => r._field== "co" or r._field == "hum" or r._field == "temp") ``` 3. Click **{{% caps %}}Submit{{% /caps %}}** to execute the query with the selected filters and operations and display the result. {{% /tab-content %}} {{% tab-content %}} 1.

specifically designed to query time series data from InfluxDB 0.x and 1.x. {{% note %}} #### Map databases and retention policies to buckets Because InfluxQL was developed for earlier versions of InfluxDB, it depends on **databases and retention policies** (DBRP) which have been replaced by [buckets](/influxdb/version/get-started/#data-organization) in InfluxDB {{< current-version >}}. To use InfluxQL with InfluxDB {{< current-version >}}, first [map database and retention policy (DBRP) combinations to an InfluxDB bucket](/influxdb/version/query-data/influxql/dbrp/). {{% /note %}} ### InfluxQL query basics When querying InfluxDB with InfluxQL, the most basic query includes the following statements and clauses: - `SELECT`: Specify which fields and tags to query. - `FROM`: Specify the measurement to query. Use the measurement name or a fully-qualified measurement name which includes the database and retention policy. For example: `db.rp.measurement`. - `WHERE`: _(Optional)_ Filter data based on fields, tags, and time. The following InfluxQL query returns the **co**, **hum**, and **temp** fields and the **room** tag stored in the **home** measurement with timestamps **between 2022-01-01T08:00:00Z and 2022-01-01T20:00:00Z**. ```sql SELECT co,hum,temp,room FROM "get-started".autogen.home WHERE time >= '2022-01-01T08:00:00Z' AND time <= '2022-01-01T20:00:00Z' ``` {{% note %}} These are just the fundamentals of the InfluxQL syntax.
