Parameters

from

({{< req >}}) Name of the bucket to query.

start

({{< req >}}) Earliest time to include in results.

Results include points that match the specified start time. Use a relative duration, absolute time, or integer (Unix timestamp in seconds). For example, -1h, 2019-08-28T22:00:00Z, or 1567029600. Durations are relative to now().

stop

Latest time to include in results. Default is now().

Results exclude points that match the specified stop time. Use a relative duration, absolute time, or integer (Unix timestamp in seconds). For example, -1h, 2019-08-28T22:00:00Z, or 1567029600. Durations are relative to now().

m

({{< req >}}) Name of the measurement to query.

fields

List of fields to query. Default is[].

Returns all fields when list is empty or unspecified.

where

Single argument predicate function that evaluates true or false and filters results based on tag values. Default is (r) => true.

Records are passed to the function before fields are pivoted into columns. Records that evaluate to true are included in the output tables. Records that evaluate to null or false are not included in the output tables.

host

URL of the InfluxDB instance to query.

See InfluxDB OSS URLs or InfluxDB Cloud regions.

org

Organization name.

token

InfluxDB API token.

Examples

Query a single field

import "contrib/jsternberg/influxdb"

influxdb.select(from: "example-bucket", start: -1d, m: "example-measurement", fields: ["field1"])

Query multiple fields

import "contrib/jsternberg/influxdb"

influxdb.select(
    from: "example-bucket",
    start: -1d,
    m: "example-measurement",
    fields: ["field1", "field2", "field3"],
)

Query all fields and filter by tags

import "contrib/jsternberg/influxdb"

influxdb.select(
    from: "example-bucket",
    start: -1d,
    m: "example-measurement",
    where: (r) => r.host == "host1" and r.region == "us-west",
)

Query data from a remote InfluxDB Cloud instance

import "contrib/jsternberg/influxdb"
import "influxdata/influxdb/secrets"

token = secrets.get(key: "INFLUXDB_CLOUD_TOKEN")

influxdb.select(
    from: "example-bucket",
    start: -1d,
    m: "example-measurement",
    fields: ["field1", "field2"],
    host: "https://us-west-2-1.aws.cloud2.influxdata.com",
    org: "example-org",
    token: token,
