InfluxDB equivalent of computed columns?

I was wondering if influx has a version of a computated column/field. I know the aggregation/transformation functions, but in my application, I need to implement the automatic calculation of a formula which will be populated/calculated as new points are added.

Any thoughts?

Thanks !

Hello @rjvt,
Welcome!
Yes, I believe so!
You’ll want to familiarize yourself with
Flux: https://docs.influxdata.com/flux/v0.x/
Tasks: Process data with InfluxDB tasks | InfluxDB OSS 2.0 Documentation
to(): https://docs.influxdata.com/flux/v0.x/stdlib/influxdata/influxdb/to/
and also if you’re looking to create custom aggregators maybe
reduce(): reduce() function | Flux 0.x Documentation

Thank you!

This looks really good! Thanks for guiding me on the documentation, I am still wrapping my head around it.

Thanks!
