Hi,
we want to “playback” data we recorded some time ago from an influx DB into an influx DB, to emulate sensors so that we can test a software that reads their values from an influx DB. This would work very well with a rather simple SELECT INTO statement, however we need to change the timestamps to current ones, because the software is supposed to ignore old data and work on short recent intervals. A simple offset to the whole time column(s) would be enough, however we could not found a way to do this yet, without reading, changing and re-inserting every single entry. We want to avoid this mainly because of performance considerations.
It seems to be impossible to change time values at all, is that true? Is there a possible workaround for this scenario? Like copying the data without the time column and letting influx generate it on insertion?
Thanks!
