The profiler package provides performance profiling tools for Flux queries and operations.

Profile results are returned as an extra result in the response named according to the profiles which are enabled.

Options

option profiler.enabledProfilers = [""]

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

New in InfluxDB 3.5

Key enhancements in InfluxDB 3.5 and the InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3.

See the Blog Post

InfluxDB 3.5 is now available for both Core and Enterprise, introducing custom plugin repository support, enhanced operational visibility with queryable CLI parameters and manual node management, stronger security controls, and general performance improvements.

InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3 brings powerful new capabilities including Dashboards (beta) for saving and organizing your favorite queries, and cache querying for instant access to Last Value and Distinct Value caches—making Explorer a more comprehensive workspace for time series monitoring and analysis.

InfluxDB Docker latest tag changing to InfluxDB 3 Core

On November 3, 2025, 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
