Description

Hello, I'm new to InfluxDB and sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place.

I'm tryng to get Kbps of bytes of the users.

In influxdb I added to my bucket meassurement "deviceX", X means the ID of the Device, and to the tags I have the "user", and in the user I have traffic_in/traffic_out fields, and every 5 minutes I add the current bytes of the user.

I'm trying to get rid of rrdtool...

So, I have the data added every 5 minutes, and now I want to know how to query these bytes to create a graph of Kbps/Mbps/Gbps usage of the users like in RRD.

Sorry my english.

Thank you.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the described InfluxDB bucket layout: deviceX measurements, user tags, and traffic_in/traffic_out fields recorded every five minutes. Determine what query or query guidance is needed to turn those byte samples into user traffic rates comparable to the RRDTool graph; the issue does not name repository files or tests.
