duration() function
The duration() function converts a single value to a duration.
Function type: Type conversion
Output data type: Duration

duration() assumes numeric input values are nanoseconds.
String input values must use duration literal representation.
Examples
Flux does not support duration column types. The example below converts an integer to a duration and stores the value as a string.
from(bucket: "sensor-data")
|> range(start: -1m)
|> filter(fn:(r) => r._measurement == "system" )
|> map(fn:(r) => ({ r with uptime: string(v: duration(v: r.uptime)) }))
