Introduction

InfluxDB is an open-source time series database developed by InfluxData.

It is written in Go and optimized for fast, high-availability storage and retrieval of time series data in fields such as operations monitoring, application metrics, Internet of Things sensor data, and real-time analytics.

It is often used with Telegraf or Collectd to gather system information.

Delete Data

The DELETE query deletes all points from a series in a database. Unlike DROP SERIES, it does not drop the series from the index and it supports time intervals in the WHERE clause.

The query takes the following form where you must include either the FROM clause or the WHERE clause, or both.

> DELETE FROM <measurement_name> WHERE [<tag_key>='<tag_value>'] | [

Delete all data associated with the measurement h2o_feet:

> DELETE FROM "h2o_feet"

Delete all data associated with the measurement h2o_quality and where the tag randtag equals 3:

> DELETE FROM "h2o_quality" WHERE "randtag" = '3'

We will delete series data which is older than 1000s:

> DELETE FROM mysql_value WHERE time > 1000s
> SELECT * FROM mysql_value LIMIT 10

Delete all data in the database that occur before January 01, 2016:

> DELETE WHERE time < '2016-01-01'

A successful DELETE query returns an empty result.

Delete Series

Drop Data

> drop series from <measurement>;
> drop measurement <measurement>;

Drop Series

Automated Data Deletion

This sets up how long to keep the data, which is like a self cleaning process.

Ubiquiti ER-X Speedtest

ER-X --> Speedtest --> Telegraf --> InfluxDB
  • Speedtest.net is a web service that provides free analysis of Internet access performance metrics.
  • Telegraf is a plugin-driven server agent for collecting & reporting metrics.
  • InfluxDB is a time series database built from the ground up to handle high write and query loads.
