I am trying to make a comparison of write times for different databases storing timeseries, does it make sense to insert to influx e.g. 500k records with timestamps defined? since I see it takes the insertion time as a timestamp so they would all be considered from the same moment and timestamp value would lose its significance I guess?

Can we perform joins in the influx, if yes how can we query the same

Invoking 'influx' on docker just brings a list of commands instead of connecting. How do I connect to the server when in docker?

ESP 32 with used to connect water flow sensor. This sensor value is stored in the InfluxDB database. while the below-shown Arduino code is removed we can get the correct accurate flow rate. But in this code is removed, then data can not be sent to the InfluxDB database. (water flow sensor is connected with an interrupt pin).

if (!client.writePoint(sensor))                                  
  {
   Serial.print("InfluxDB write failed: ");
 

  }



Please give me the correct solution as soon as possible. It will be a big help for me.

Why do I get 'ERR: received status code 401 from server' whenever I try to run a query like 'show users' or anything else ?
Ps: I tried to connect with : 'influx -username Raph -password mypassword, it doesn't change anything

Hi,

Very nice and straight to the point video! 👏🏻I am considering using InfluxDB in a school project and this video made me more confident about that choice.

I am trying to implement a digital running race competiton between a lot of users and was wondering if you could share what you think: Lets say we have a lot of users, and those users want to compete in a running race digitally. Some device would send data on the distance they've covered each second. Would using measure as "race", and host an unique id for that persons race (from a different db) make sense? Would you do it differenly?

I was wondering if you would recommend a InfluxDB for this use case?

[sergioaraujo]

hi, does influxdb integrates with some kind of UI instead of only shell commands?

[jetardeshna]

Awesome video, What do you mean by 'Helpful at all'? This should've been the official documentation my guy.

[godwintheophilus]

I feel influxdb v1 is good..since I am comfortable with sql 😅

[ozaki]

Hey, great guide!

Can you do a simple video showing how to push data into a InfluxBD database using Python?
