math.mod() function

math.mod() returns a floating-point remainder of x/y.

The magnitude of the result is less than y and its sign agrees with that of x.

Note: math.mod() performs the same operation as the modulo operator (%). For example: 4.56 % 1.23

Function type signature
(x: float, y: float) => float

For more information, see Function type signatures.

Use math.mod in map

import "math"

data
    |> map(fn: (r) => ({_time: r._time, _value: math.mod(x: r.t1, y: r.t2)}))

InfluxDB Docker latest tag changing to InfluxDB 3 Core

On February 3, 2026, the latest tag for InfluxDB Docker images will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments.

If using Docker to install and run InfluxDB, the latest tag will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments. For example, if using Docker to run InfluxDB v2, replace the latest version tag with a specific version tag in your Docker pull command–for example:

docker pull influxdb:2
