Reads time series from a TimeSeries table filtered by a selector and with timestamps in a specified interval.
This function is similar to range selectors but it’s used to implement instant selectors too.
Syntax
timeSeriesSelector('db_name', 'time_series_table', 'instant_query', min_time, max_time)
timeSeriesSelector(db_name.time_series_table, 'instant_query', min_time, max_time)
timeSeriesSelector('time_series_table', 'instant_query', min_time, max_time)
Arguments
db_name - The name of the database where a TimeSeries table is located.
time_series_table - The name of a TimeSeries table.
instant_query - An instant selector written in PromQL syntax, without @ or offset modifiers.
- `min_time - Start timestamp, inclusive.
- `max_time - End timestamp, inclusive.
Returned value
The function returns three columns:
id - Contains the identifiers of time series matching the specified selector.
timestamp - Contains timestamps.
value - Contains values.
There is no specific order for returned data.
Example
SELECT * FROM timeSeriesSelector(mytable, 'http_requests{job="prometheus"}', now() - INTERVAL 10 MINUTES, now())
