kapacitor record query

The kapacitor record query command records the result of an InfluxQL query. Once the recording is stopped, the command outputs the recording ID. If no recording ID is specified, Kapacitor assigns a random ID.

The command requires the following:

  • InfluxQL query: Use the -query flag
  • Recording type: Use the -type flag and pass either batch or query

To replay the recording, see kapacitor replay.

Usage

kapacitor record query [flags]
