Hello!
I am looking for a way to get every nth point in a given time range. Since I am working with sensor data, chances are, I don’t want to load all the data, just resample the data for creating charts.
The solutions I’ve tried
select * from MEASUREMENT
where time >= FROMms and time <= TOms
and _id % SKIP = REMAINING
1st: Using modulo operation: This solution is OK for small time ranges. InfluxDB is very fast for selecting time ranges, but I believe it then has to check if each point in this time range satisfy the modulo operation or not (i.e. _id % 10 = 0).
2nd: Multiple select queries: Sending multiple requests for every nth element will take a lot of time, and It’s a bad solution anyway.
I appreciate if someone has a solution or any workarounds to this problem.
Thanks!
Omar
