====InfluxDB Driver====

===Information===

Loads information from InfluxDB databases.

^Driver Info^Detail^
|Driver Type:|**Historical**|
|Platforms:|**All**|

===Performance Note===

Although InfluxDB has an //extremely// impressive ingestion rate (meaning it can record very large numbers of properties quickly), it has a critical flaw when being used for industrial data - it can't show instantaneous values.

This means that if you've got a sample at 10:00 and another at 11:00, asking for data at 10:20-10:40 will give you **no results**.

Compensating for this issue causes queries to be significantly slower than they should be.
