Query a Last Value Cache

Use the last_cache() SQL function in the FROM clause of an SQL SELECT statement to query data from the Last Value Cache (LVC).

You must use SQL to query the LVC. InfluxQL does not support the last_cache() function.

last_cache() supports the following arguments:

  • table_name: (Required) The name of the table the LVC is associated with formatted as a string literal.
  • cache_name: The name of the LVC to query formatted as a string literal. This argument is only required if there is more than one LVC associated with the specified table.
SELECT * FROM last_cache('table_name', 'cache_name')
  • Copy
  • Fill window

You can use other SQL clauses to modify query results. For example, you can use the WHERE clause to return the last value for a specific tag set:

SELECT
  room,
  temp
FROM
  last_cache('home', 'homeCache')
WHERE
  room = 'Kitchen'
  • Copy
  • Fill window
