It isn’t stated explicitly, but these posts (and others) seem to suggest that.

> I am sure you could accomplish this if you write the data yourself to Influx. The better question is why are you trying to do this? Is there a specific reason you are trying to reduce the number of measurements/series? Doing something like this may reduce your total series but I have to imagine it would have a huge performance impact on InfluxDB if you have a ton of data

I’m glad you clarified.
