The `sample` node samples points or batches.
One point will be emitted every count or duration specified.
Example:
```js
stream
|sample(3)
```
Keep every third data point or batch.
Example:
```js
stream
|sample(10s)
```
Keep only samples that land on the 10s boundary.
See [FromNode.Truncate,](/kapacitor/v1.5/nodes/from_node/#truncate) [QueryNode.GroupBy](/kapacitor/v1.5/nodes/query_node/#groupby) time or [WindowNode.Align](/kapacitor/v1.5/nodes/window_node/#align)
for ensuring data is aligned with a boundary.

## 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.
### Quiet
Suppress all error logging events from this node.
```js
sample.quiet()
```
<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.
```js
sample|alert()
```
Returns: [AlertNode](/kapacitor/v1.5/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.
```js
sample|barrier()
```
Returns: [BarrierNode](/kapacitor/v1.5/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.
```js
sample|bottom(num int64, field string, fieldsAndTags ...string)
```
Returns: [InfluxQLNode](/kapacitor/v1.5/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>
### ChangeDetect
Create a new node that only emits new points if different from the previous point.
```js
sample|changeDetect(field string)
```
Returns: [ChangeDetectNode](/kapacitor/v1.5/nodes/change_detect_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.
```js
sample|combine(expressions ...ast.LambdaNode)
```
Returns: [CombineNode](/kapacitor/v1.5/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.
```js
sample|count(field string)
```
Returns: [InfluxQLNode](/kapacitor/v1.5/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.
```js
sample|cumulativeSum(field string)
```
Returns: [InfluxQLNode](/kapacitor/v1.5/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:
```js
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:
```js
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/v1.5/nodes/alert_node/) is the last piece it can be further modified as usual.
Example:
```js
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:
```js
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...
```
```js
sample|deadman(threshold float64, interval time.Duration, expr ...ast.LambdaNode)
```
