Summary

Introducing Flux Editor in Chronograf` InfluxData has introduced a new language, Flux, to query and manipulate time series data, built from scratch to address shortcomings in InfluxQL. The Flux Editor in Chronograf provides an intuitive interface for users to explore their data, visualize queries, and easily make changes. With features like yield functions, temporary yields, and visual diagramming, Flux aims to simplify complex queries and provide a more powerful toolset for time series data analysis. By leveraging Flux, developers can focus on insights and business value rather than logic for querying and combining data. The editor is available now via the nightly build of Chronograf, allowing users to start exploring this new query language immediately.
