Here the series are not joining, even though the tag is matching and I have set a tolerance of 14 minutes

Hi , after these steps the join will succeed

  1. replace the 2 .cron() by .every() ( because align() in combination with cron() does not work )
  2. remove the .on() from the join node (joins are based on timestamp or a subset of a group by )
  3. use the same .groupBy() in the two queries

best regards ,

Thanks, @MarcV. I figured out that if I use same .groupBy join works.

However, my intention of doing the join was different.

I’m doing anomaly detection on series generated by series batch query. In the alert I wanted to show the total number of requests I got which is available in counts query.

I thought if I do a join, I will get that value.

Any suggestions on how to get the total number of requests in the alert node?

hi maybe this example can help ?

dbrp "telegraf"."autogen"

var window = 30s

var series = batch
|query('''SELECT usage_idle  FROM  "telegraf"."autogen".cpu ''')
.period(window)
.every(window)
.groupBy('cpu')
.align()
.alignGroup()
.fill(0)
|count('usage_idle')
 .as('countedvalue')
|alert()
.crit(lambda:"countedvalue" > 1 )
.message('the counted field for {{ index .Tags "cpu" }} is : {{ index .Fields "countedvalue" }}')
