range() function
The range()
function filters records based on time bounds.
Each input table’s records are filtered to contain only records that exist within the time bounds.
Records with a null
value for their time are filtered.
Each input table’s group key value is modified to fit within the time bounds.
Tables where all records exists outside the time bounds are filtered entirely.
Function type: Transformation
*Output data type: Record
range(
start: -15m,
stop: now()
)
Behavior of start and stop times
Results include records with _time
values greater than or equal to the specified start
time and less than the specified stop
time.
start <= _time < stop
Parameters
start
The earliest time to include in results.
Results include points that match the specified start time.
Use a relative duration, absolute time, or integer (Unix timestamp in seconds).
For example, -1h
, 2019-08-28T22:00:00Z
, or 1567029600
.
Durations are relative to now()
.
Data type: Duration | Time | Integer
stop
The latest time to include in results.
Results exclude points that match the specified stop time.
Use a relative duration, absolute time, or integer (Unix timestamp in seconds).
For example, -1h
, 2019-08-28T22:00:00Z
, or 1567029600
.
Durations are relative to now()
.
Defaults to now()
.
Data type: Duration | Time | Integer
Time values in Flux must be in RFC3339 format.
Examples
Time range relative to now
from(bucket:"example-bucket")
|> range(start: -12h)
// ...
Relative time range
from(bucket:"example-bucket")
|> range(start: -12h, stop: -15m)
// ...
Absolute time range
from(bucket:"example-bucket")
|> range(start: 2018-05-22T23:30:00Z, stop: 2018-05-23T00:00:00Z)
// ...
Absolute time range with Unix timestamps
from(bucket:"example-bucket")
|> range(start: 1527031800, stop: 1527033600)
// ...
