### Description
A [QueryNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/query_node/) defines a source and a schedule for
processing batch data.
The data is queried from an InfluxDB database and then passed into the data pipeline.
Example:
```javascript
batch
|query('''
SELECT mean("value")
FROM "telegraf"."default".cpu_usage_idle
WHERE "host" = 'serverA'
''')
.period(1m)
.every(20s)
.groupBy(time(10s), 'cpu')
...
```
In the above example InfluxDB is queried every 20 seconds; the window of time returned
spans 1 minute and is grouped into 10 second buckets.

Properties
----------
Property methods modify state on the calling node.
They do not add another node to the pipeline, and always return a reference to the calling node.
Property methods are marked using the `.` operator.
### Align
Align start and stop times for quiries with even boundaries of the [QueryNode.Every](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/query_node/#every) property.
Does not apply if using the [QueryNode.Cron](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/query_node/#cron) property.
```javascript
query.align()
```
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### AlignGroup
Align the group by time intervals with the start time of the query
```javascript
query.alignGroup()
```
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Cluster
The name of a configured InfluxDB cluster.
If empty the default cluster will be used.
```javascript
query.cluster(value string)
```
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Cron
Define a schedule using a cron syntax.
The specific cron implementation is documented here:
https://github.com/gorhill/cronexpr#implementation
The Cron property is mutually exclusive with the Every property.
```javascript
query.cron(value string)
```
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Every
How often to query InfluxDB.
The Every property is mutually exclusive with the Cron property.
```javascript
query.every(value time.Duration)
```
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Fill
Fill the data.
Options are:
- Any numerical value
- null - exhibits the same behavior as the default
- previous - reports the value of the previous window
- none - suppresses timestamps and values where the value is null
- linear - reports the results of linear interpolation
```javascript
query.fill(value interface{})
```
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### GroupBy
Group the data by a set of dimensions.
Can specify one time dimension.
This property adds a `GROUP BY` clause to the query
so all the normal behaviors when quering InfluxDB with a `GROUP BY` apply.
Use group by time when your period is longer than your group by time interval.
Example:
```javascript
batch
|query(...)
.period(1m)
.every(1m)
.groupBy(time(10s), 'tag1', 'tag2'))
.align()
```
A group by time offset is also possible.
Example:
```javascript
batch
|query(...)
.period(1m)
.every(1m)
.groupBy(time(10s, -5s), 'tag1', 'tag2'))
.align()
.offset(5s)
```
It is recommended to use [QueryNode.Align](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/query_node/#align) and [QueryNode.Offset](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/query_node/#offset) in conjunction with
group by time dimensions so that the time bounds match up with the group by intervals.
To automatically align the group by intervals to the start of the query time,
use [QueryNode.AlignGroup.](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/query_node/#aligngroup) This is useful in more complex situations, such as when
the groupBy time period is longer than the query frequency.
Example:
```javascript
batch
|query(...)
.period(5m)
.every(30s)
.groupBy(time(1m), 'tag1', 'tag2')
.align()
.alignGroup()
```
For the above example, without [QueryNode.AlignGroup,](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/query_node/#aligngroup) every other query issued by Kapacitor
(at :30 past the minute) will align to :00 seconds instead of the desired :30 seconds,
which would create 6 group by intervals instead of 5, the first and last of which
would only have 30 seconds of data instead of a full minute.
If the group by time offset (i.e. time(t, offset)) is used in conjunction with
[QueryNode.AlignGroup,](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/query_node/#aligngroup) the alignment will occur first, and will be offset
the specified amount after.
NOTE: Since [QueryNode.Offset](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/query_node/#offset) is inherently a negative property the second "offset" argument to the "time" function is negative to match.
```javascript
query.groupBy(d ...interface{})
```
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### GroupByMeasurement
If set will include the measurement name in the group ID.
Along with any other group by dimensions.
Example:
```javascript
batch
|query('SELECT sum("value") FROM "telegraf"."autogen"./process_.*/')
.groupByMeasurement()
.groupBy('host')
```
The above example selects data from several measurements matching `/process_.*/ and
then each point is grouped by the host tag and measurement name.
Thus keeping measurements in their own groups.
```javascript
query.groupByMeasurement()
```
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Offset
How far back in time to query from the current time
For example an Offest of 2 hours and an Every of 5m,
Kapacitor will query InfluxDB every 5 minutes for the window of data 2 hours ago.
This applies to Cron schedules as well. If the cron specifies to run every Sunday at
1 AM and the Offset is 1 hour. Then at 1 AM on Sunday the data from 12 AM will be queried.
```javascript
query.offset(value time.Duration)
```
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Period
The period or length of time that will be queried from InfluxDB
```javascript
query.period(value time.Duration)
```
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
Chaining Methods
----------------
Chaining methods create a new node in the pipeline as a child of the calling node.
They do not modify the calling node.
Chaining methods are marked using the `|` operator.
### Alert
Create an alert node, which can trigger alerts.
```javascript
query|alert()
```
Returns: [AlertNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/alert_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Barrier
Create a new Barrier node that emits a BarrierMessage periodically
One BarrierMessage will be emitted every period duration
```javascript
query|barrier()
```
Returns: [BarrierNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/barrier_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Bottom
Select the bottom `num` points for `field` and sort by any extra tags or fields.
```javascript
query|bottom(num int64, field string, fieldsAndTags ...string)
```
Returns: [InfluxQLNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/influx_q_l_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Combine
Combine this node with itself. The data is combined on timestamp.
```javascript
query|combine(expressions ...ast.LambdaNode)
```
Returns: [CombineNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/combine_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Count
Count the number of points.
```javascript
query|count(field string)
```
Returns: [InfluxQLNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/influx_q_l_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### CumulativeSum
Compute a cumulative sum of each point that is received.
A point is emitted for every point collected.
```javascript
query|cumulativeSum(field string)
```
Returns: [InfluxQLNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/influx_q_l_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Deadman
Helper function for creating an alert on low throughput, a.k.a. deadman's switch.
- Threshold -- trigger alert if throughput drops below threshold in points/interval.
- Interval -- how often to check the throughput.
- Expressions -- optional list of expressions to also evaluate. Useful for time of day alerting.
Example:
```javascript
var data = stream
|from()...
// Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
data
|deadman(100.0, 10s)
//Do normal processing of data
data...
```
The above is equivalent to this
Example:
```javascript
var data = stream
|from()...
// Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
data
|stats(10s)
.align()
|derivative('emitted')
.unit(10s)
.nonNegative()
|alert()
.id('node \'stream0\' in task \'{{ .TaskName }}\'')
.message('{{ .ID }} is {{ if eq .Level "OK" }}alive{{ else }}dead{{ end }}: {{ index .Fields "emitted" | printf "%0.3f" }} points/10s.')
.crit(lambda: "emitted" <= 100.0)
//Do normal processing of data
data...
```
The `id` and `message` alert properties can be configured globally via the 'deadman' configuration section.
Since the [AlertNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/alert_node/) is the last piece it can be further modified as usual.
Example:
```javascript
var data = stream
|from()...
// Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
data
|deadman(100.0, 10s)
.slack()
.channel('#dead_tasks')
//Do normal processing of data
data...
```
You can specify additional lambda expressions to further constrain when the deadman's switch is triggered.
Example:
```javascript
var data = stream
|from()...
// Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
// Only trigger the alert if the time of day is between 8am-5pm.
data
|deadman(100.0, 10s, lambda: hour("time") >= 8 AND hour("time") <= 17)
//Do normal processing of data
data...
```
```javascript
query|deadman(threshold float64, interval time.Duration, expr ...ast.LambdaNode)
```
Returns: [AlertNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/alert_node/)
