InfluxDB structures data using elements such as timestamps, field keys, field values, tags, etc.
Flux provides functions that let you explore the structure and schema of your data stored in InfluxDB.
Flux is going into maintenance mode and will not be supported in InfluxDB 3.0. This was a decision based on the broad demand for SQL and the continued growth and adoption of InfluxQL. We are continuing to support Flux for users in 1.x and 2.x so you can continue using it with no changes to your code. If you are interested in transitioning to InfluxDB 3.0 and want to future-proof your code, we suggest using InfluxQL.
