How to Build Grafana Dashboards with InfluxDB, Flux, and InfluxQL
We’re excited about today’s release of Grafana 7.1, which extends Grafana’s built-in InfluxDB datasource to run queries in both the Flux language and InfluxQL. This means it’s super easy to connect Grafana to InfluxDB — whether you use InfluxDB 1.8 or...
TL;DR InfluxDB Tech Tips – How to Interpret an Annotated CSV
In this post we share how to interpret an Annotated CSV, the Flux query result format for InfluxDB. Q: What is an Annotated CSV? A: An Annotated CSV is the output format of a Flux query with InfluxDB 2.0. For example,...
TL;DR InfluxDB Tech Tips Add Temporary Data with Flux
In this post, we share a way to generate a table with Flux. Q: I want to perform a task that executes a join() but I don’t always have data for one of the input tables. How can I create an...
BIRCH for Anomaly Detection with InfluxDB
In this tutorial, we’ll use the BIRCH (balanced iterative reducing and clustering using hierarchies) algorithm from scikit-learn with the ADTK (Anomaly Detection Tool Kit) package to detect anomalous CPU behavior. We’ll use the InfluxDB 2.0 Python Client to query our data...
Anomaly Detection with Median Absolute Deviation
When you want to spot containers, virtual machines (VMs), servers, or sensors that are behaving differently from others, you can use the Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) algorithm to identify when a time series is “deviating from the pack”. In this tutorial,...
WayKonect Uses InfluxDB to Improve Fleet Management
The fleet management industry has been quick to embrace technology. They want to understand the current state of vehicles and drivers to improve operations and safety. Data privacy laws are especially important as fleet managers expand their reach into new territories....

Exploring Geo-Temporal Flux
Flux recently added geo-temporal capabilities to its arsenal, and I have been exploring how to effectively use this new combination of time series and geolocation data. To help get you started, we’ll cover a geo-temporal overview and then look into a...
Production Process Optimization with the inray OPCUA Router and InfluxDB
In a factory environment, collecting data to gain useful insights from various sources is challenging because it requires connecting to many different types of automation systems, plcs and devices that often speak different languages. This is the problem that German industrial...
TL;DR Tech Tips — Flux Time Ranges
In this post, we share some basics about working with time ranges in Flux. Q: What's the role of time ranges in Flux queries? A: Flux requires a time range when querying InfluxDB. “Unbounded” queries are very resource-intensive and as a...
