Tutorial: How to build an InfluxDB query using Flux?
An advanced use case for the new Flux query language
Process historians are used to gather high-resolution sensor data from industrial controllers like PLCs and SCADA systems. Once the data is collected, it is available for further processing and query building. This blog post describes the use of Flux, a new language for querying InfluxDB, the time series database behind Factry Historian.
It is recommended for advanced readers with profound technical knowledge.
Ever since it was first announced in June 2018, we have been eagerly following the development of the Flux query language. We started experimenting with Flux’s capabilities pretty early on and are now confident that it has matured enough for it to be really useful in a production or manufacturing context.
However, we think it can be difficult to translate the theoretical documentation into an approach that solves a real-life challenge.
