InfluxDB Model
The InfluxDB server model contains:
- Databases: A logical container for users, retention policies, continuous queries, and time series data.
- Measurements: The part of InfluxDB’s structure that describes the data stored in the associated fields.
- Fields: The key-value pair in InfluxDB’s data structure that records metadata and the actual data value. Fields are required in InfluxDB’s data structure and they are not indexed.
- Tags: The key-value pair in InfluxDB’s data structure that records metadata. Tags are an optional part of InfluxDB’s data structure but they are useful for storing commonly-queried metadata; tags are indexed so queries on tags are performant.
Here is a typical InfluxDB model:
