experimental.chain() function
The experimental.chain()
function is subject to change at any time.
By using this function, you accept the risks of experimental functions.
The experimental.chain()
function runs two queries in a single Flux script
sequentially and outputs the results of the second query.
Flux typically executes multiple queries in a single script in parallel.
Running the queries sequentially ensures any dependencies the second query has on
the results of the first query are met.
Applicable use cases
- Writing to a bucket and querying the written data in a single Flux script or InfluxDB task.
- Execute queries sequentially in testing scenarios.
Function type: Miscellaneous
import "experimental"
experimental.chain(
first: query1,
second: query2
)
Parameters
first
The first query to execute.
Data type: Stream of tables
second
The second query to execute.
Data type: Stream of tables
Examples
Write to a bucket and query the written data
import "experimental"
downsampled_max = from(bucket: "example-bucket-1")
|> range(start: -1d)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "example-measurement")
|> aggregateWindow(every: 1h, fn: max)
|> to(bucket: "downsample-1h-max", org: "example-org")
average_max = from(bucket: "downsample-1h-max")
|> range(start: -1d)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r.measurement == "example-measurement")
|> mean()
experimental.chain(
first: downsampled_max,
second: average_max
)
