Overview
In, this blog we will see how to install the Flux Extension in VS Code and make connections to InfluxDB and write queries.
Prerequisite
If you are new to InfluxDB check out the below blogs before reading this one 👇
- InfluxDB with some data
- VS Code Text Editor
Objectives
- Installing Flux Extension
- Connecting InfluxDB with VS Code
- Writing Flux Query in VS Code
1. Installing Flux Extension
Open VS Code Editor and then click Extensions and then type Flux like below
Click Install to install the Flux extension
Once the extension is installed successfully you could see the InfluxDB on the sidebar like the below image
Click the ‘+’ button to add a new connection.
2. Connecting InfluxDB with VS Code
Now, we will connect the InfluxDB in VS Code. Click the ‘+’ button or by using the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + p) and then click the Add new connection.
Now select the connection and then add the InfluxDB token and then click the Test connection to check the connection.
Once the connection is successful you could see the buckets and measurements that are available in the given organization like below
3. Writing Flux Query in VS Code
Now, will write the Flux query to check whether we can get the data from InfluxDB.
Create a new file in VS Code Editor with extension as .flux and write your flux query.
from(bucket: "systemmetric")
|> range(start: -1h, stop: now())
|> filter(fn: (r) => r["_measurement"] == "cpu")
|> filter(fn: (r) => r["cpu"] == "cpu-total")
|> filter(fn: (r) => r["_field"] == "usage_user")
|> aggregateWindow(every: 1h, fn: mean, createEmpty: false)
|> yield(name: "mean")
Now run the flux query using the command Ctrl + Alt + E. Now you could see the result like below.
