enabledProfilers

enabledProfilers is a list of profilers to enable during execution.

Available profilers

query

Provides statistics about the execution of an entire Flux script. When enabled, results include a table with the following columns:

  • TotalDuration: total query duration in nanoseconds.
  • CompileDuration: number of nanoseconds spent compiling the query.
  • QueueDuration: number of nanoseconds spent queueing.
  • RequeueDuration: number of nanoseconds spent requeueing.
  • PlanDuration: number of nanoseconds spent planning the query.
  • ExecuteDuration: number of nanoseconds spent executing the query.
  • Concurrency: number of goroutines allocated to process the query.
  • MaxAllocated: maximum number of bytes the query allocated.
  • TotalAllocated: total number of bytes the query allocated (includes memory that was freed and then used again).
  • RuntimeErrors: error messages returned during query execution.
  • flux/query-plan: Flux query plan.
  • influxdb/scanned-values: value scanned by InfluxDB.
  • influxdb/scanned-bytes: number of bytes scanned by InfluxDB.

operator

The operator profiler output statistics about each operation in a query. Operations executed in the storage tier return as a single operation. When the operator profile is enabled, results include a table with a row for each operation and the following columns:

  • Type: operation type
  • Label: operation name
  • Count: total number of times the operation executed
  • MinDuration: minimum duration of the operation in nanoseconds
  • MaxDuration: maximum duration of the operation in nanoseconds
  • DurationSum: total duration of all operation executions in nanoseconds
  • MeanDuration: average duration of all operation executions in nanoseconds

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
