Re-explain

InfluxDB's data model consists of:

  1. Measurement: Equivalent to a table in SQL, describes the data being stored
  2. Tags: Indexed metadata key-value pairs (like indexed columns)
  3. Fields: Non-indexed key-value pairs containing the actual data
  4. Timestamp: When the data point was recorded
  5. Series: Unique combination of measurement, tag set, and field key

Example:

weather,location=us-midwest,season=summer temperature=82,humidity=71 1465839830100400200
  • Measurement: weather
  • Tags: location=us-midwest, season=summer
  • Fields: temperature=82, humidity=71
  • Timestamp: 1465839830100400200
