## Parameters

### start

(Required) Earliest time to include in results.

Use a relative duration, absolute time, or integer (Unix timestamp in seconds). For example, `-1h`, `2019-08-28T22:00:00Z`, or `1567029600`. Durations are relative to `now()`.

### stop

Latest time to include in results. Default is `now()`.

Use a relative duration, absolute time, or integer (Unix timestamp in seconds). For example, `-1h`, `2019-08-28T22:00:00Z`, or `1567029600`. Durations are relative to `now()`

### fn

Predicate function that evaluates true or false.

Records or rows (`r`) that evaluate to `true` are included in output tables. Records that evaluate to *null* or `false` are not included in output tables.

## Examples

### View critical check statuses from the last hour

```js
import "influxdata/influxdb/monitor"

monitor.from(start: -1h, fn: (r) => r._level == "crit")
```
