--- title: Join data with Flux seotitle: Join data in InfluxDB with Flux list_title: Join description: This guide walks through joining data with Flux and outlines how it shapes your data in the process. menu: influxdb_1_7: name: Join parent: Query with Flux weight: 10 list_query_example: join --- The [`join()` function](/{{< latest "influxdb" "v2" >}}/reference/flux/stdlib/built-in/transformations/join) merges two or more input streams, whose values are equal on a set of common columns, into a single output stream. Flux allows you to join on any columns common between two data streams and opens the door for operations such as cross-measurement joins and math across measurements. To illustrate a join operation, use data captured by Telegraf and and stored in InfluxDB - memory usage and processes. In this guide, we'll join two data streams, one representing memory usage and the other representing the total number of running processes, then calculate the average memory usage per running process. If you're just getting started with Flux queries, check out the following: - [Get started with Flux](/influxdb/v1.7/flux/get-started/) for a conceptual overview of Flux and parts of a Flux query. - [Execute queries](/influxdb/v1.7/flux/guides/execute-queries/) to discover a variety of ways to run your queries. ## Define stream variables In order to perform a join, you must have two streams of data. Assign a variable to each data stream. ### Memory used variable Define a `memUsed` variable that filters on the `mem` measurement and the `used` field. This returns the amount of memory (in bytes) used. ###### memUsed stream definition ```js memUsed = from(bucket: "db/rp") |> range(start: -5m) |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "mem" and r._field == "used" ) ``` {{% truncate %}} ###### memUsed data output ``` Table: keys: [_start, _stop, _field, _measurement, host] _start:time _stop:time _field:string _measurement:string host:string _time:time _value:int ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ---------------------- ---------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------------ -------------------------- 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 10956333056 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:50:10.000000000Z 11014008832 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:50:20.000000000Z 11373428736 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:50:30.000000000Z 11001421824 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:50:40.000000000Z 10985852928 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:50:50.000000000Z 10992279552 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:51:00.000000000Z 11053568000 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:51:10.000000000Z 11092242432 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:51:20.000000000Z 11612774400 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:51:30.000000000Z 11131961344 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:51:40.000000000Z 11124805632 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:51:50.000000000Z 11332464640 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:52:00.000000000Z 11176923136 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:52:10.000000000Z 11181068288 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:52:20.000000000Z 11182579712 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:52:30.000000000Z 11238862848 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:52:40.000000000Z 11275296768 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:52:50.000000000Z 11225411584 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:53:00.000000000Z 11252690944 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:53:10.000000000Z 11227029504 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:53:20.000000000Z 11201646592 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:53:30.000000000Z 11227897856 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:53:40.000000000Z 11330428928 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:53:50.000000000Z 11347976192 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:54:00.000000000Z 11368271872 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:54:10.000000000Z 11269623808 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:54:20.000000000Z 11295637504 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:54:30.000000000Z 11354423296 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:54:40.000000000Z 11379687424 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:54:50.000000000Z 11248926720 2018-11-06T05:50:00.000000000Z 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z used mem host1.local 2018-11-06T05:55:00.000000000Z 11292524544 ``` {{% /truncate %}} ### Total processes variable Define a `procTotal` variable that filters on the `processes` measurement and the `total` field.
