Parameters

start

(Required) Earliest time to include in results.

stop

(Required) Latest time to include in results.

host

InfluxDB Cloud region URL. Default is "".

(Required if executed outside of your InfluxDB Cloud organization or region).

orgID

InfluxDB Cloud organization ID. Default is "".

(Required if executed outside of your InfluxDB Cloud organization or region).

token

InfluxDB Cloud API token. Default is "".

(Required if executed outside of your InfluxDB Cloud organization or region).

raw

Return raw, high resolution usage data instead of downsampled usage data. Default is false.

usage.from() can query the following time ranges:

Data resolutionMaximum time range
raw1 hour
downsampled30 days

Examples

Query downsampled usage data for your InfluxDB Cloud organization

import "experimental/usage"
import "influxdata/influxdb/secrets"

token = secrets.get(key: "INFLUX_TOKEN")

usage.from(start: -30d, stop: now())

Query raw usage data for your InfluxDB Cloud organization

import "experimental/usage"
import "influxdata/influxdb/secrets"

token = secrets.get(key: "INFLUX_TOKEN")

usage.from(start: -1h, stop: now(), raw: true)

Query downsampled usage data for a different InfluxDB Cloud organization

import "experimental/usage"
import "influxdata/influxdb/secrets"

token = secrets.get(key: "INFLUX_TOKEN")

usage.from(
    start: -30d,
    stop: now(),
    host: "https://us-west-2-1.aws.cloud2.influxdata.com",
    orgID: "x000X0x0xx0X00x0",
    token: token,
)

Query number of bytes in requests to the /api/v2/write endpoint

import "experimental/usage"

usage.from(start: -30d, stop: now())
    |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "http_request")
    |> filter(fn: (r) => r._field == "req_bytes")
    |> filter(fn: (r) => r.endpoint == "/api/v2/write")
    |> group(columns: ["_time"])
    |> sum()
    |> group()

Query number of bytes returned from the /api/v2/query endpoint

import "experimental/usage"

usage.from(start: -30d, stop: now())
    |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "http_request")
    |> filter(fn: (r) => r._field == "resp_bytes")
    |> filter(fn: (r) => r.endpoint == "/api/v2/query")
    |> group(columns: ["_time"])
    |> sum()
    |> group()

Query the query count for InfluxDB Cloud query endpoints

The following query returns query counts for the following query endpoints:

  • /api/v2/query: Flux queries
  • /query: InfluxQL queries
import "experimental/usage"

usage.from(start: -30d, stop: now())
    |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "query_count")
    |> sort(columns: ["_time"])

Compare usage metrics to organization usage limits

The following query compares the amount of data written to and queried from your InfluxDB Cloud organization to your organization’s rate limits. It appends a limitReached column to each row that indicates if your rate limit was exceeded.

import "experimental/usage"

limits = usage.limits()

checkLimit = (tables=<-, limit) =>
    tables
        |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with _value: r._value / 1000, limit: int(v: limit) * 60 * 5}))
        |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with limitReached: r._value > r.limit}))

read =
    usage.from(start: -30d, stop: now())
        |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "http_request")
        |> filter(fn: (r) => r._field == "resp_bytes")
        |> filter(fn: (r) => r.endpoint == "/api/v2/query")
        |> group(columns: ["_time"])
        |> sum()
        |> group()
        |> checkLimit(limit: limits.rate.readKBs)

write =
    usage.from(start: -30d, stop: now())
        |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "http_request")
        |> filter(fn: (r) => r._field == "req_bytes")
        |> filter(fn: (r) => r.endpoint == "/api/v2/write")
        |> group(columns: ["_time"])
        |> sum()
        |> group()
        |> checkLimit(limit: limits.rate.writeKBs)

union(tables: [read, write])
