Hello,

If possible I would like someone to point me where I can see how to implement real-time event/stream processing.

I only find articles saying that influxdb is perfect for that but without showing how to do it. I want sth similar to the update policies in kusto ADX.

Continuous queries are running on schedule, but I want to process the data when it arrives, without delay, without reprocessing then a second time or missing any.

The data is ingested using the API.

Thank you

Which version of Influx are you using?

If using v2.x, have you set up any Tasks?

Hi, I am using version 2.7.5

Yes I tried to create a task but it seems to run on schedule only.
