Hi,

until now I was able to skirt the more advanced concepts of influxdb.  
Not anymore.

I have a database with measurements and timeseries that have to be filtered.

I have a kapacitor-python-udf setup that filters the data as it is submitted but ignores old data.

That is not (always) a viable option, as I will have to resample the entire database with a different kernel in the future.  
Likewise I do not wish to execute some one-shot-“select \* into” query.

My hope is that I can define a continuous query and by extension some kapacitor code that resamples the entire database until (the burst-wise advancing now).

Is that possible.  
Sorry If my request is imprecise.
