node-red-contrib-stackhero-influxdb-v2 is developed by Stackhero.
If you are looking for powerful managed services, like InfluxDB, you should seriously consider Stackhero 🤓

Usage

We have 2 nodes here. A write node, to send data to InfluxDB and a query node, to retrieve data using the Flux language.

$3

The write node requires a payload object like this one:
``javascript
msg.payload = {
// You bucket
// Optional (it can be defined in the node credentials settings)
bucket: 'myBucket',

// Precision of timestamp
// Optional
// Can be ns (nanoseconds),
// us (microseconds),
// ms (milliseconds),
// s (seconds).
// The default is ns
// Note: if you set the timestamp field to Date.now(), you have to set the precision to ms
precision: 'ms',

// Data to send to InfluxDB
// Can be an array of objects or only one object
data: [
{
measurement: 'machinerySensor',

tags: {
deviceId: 'gyh43',
hardwareVersion: '1.0.2',
softwareVersion: '2.5.1',
location: 'factory-1'
},

fields: {
temperature: 12,
humidity: 46,
vibrations: 18,
batteryVoltage: 3.6
},

timestamp: Date.now()
},

// More data can be send here, simply re add an object
// { ... },
]
};

return msg;
`

The query node requires a topic string containing a Flux query.
`javascript
msg.topic = 'from(bucket: "myBucket") |> range(start: -1h)';
return msg;
`

You can write multiple lines queries like this:
`javascript
msg.topic = [
'from(bucket: "myBucket")',
' |> range(start: -1d, stop: now)',
' |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "machinerySensor")',
' |> filter(fn: (r) => r._field == "vibrations")',
' |> aggregateWindow(every: 1h, fn: mean)',
' |> yield(name: "mean")',

'from(bucket: "myBucket")',
' |> range(start: -1d, stop: now)',
' |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "machinerySensor")',
' |> filter(fn: (r) => r._field == "vibrations")',
' |> aggregateWindow(every: 1h, fn: max)',
' |> yield(name: "max")',
].join('\n');

return msg;
``
