Buckets & InfluxQL
influx query runs Flux from the CLI — inline as a quoted string or from a file with -f.
The influx query command executes Flux against your InfluxDB, either as inline text or from a saved file.
Inline, you quote the whole script: from(bucket:"metrics") |> range(start:-1h) selects a bucket and filters the last hour.
For longer or version-controlled scripts, -f query.flux runs the Flux stored in a file.
01
influx query runs Flux from the CLI.
02
Inline scripts go in single quotes.
03
-f runs a Flux file.
influx query 'from(bucket:"metrics") |> range(start:-1h)'
influx query -f query.fluxRead the implementation
Connect each part of the code to the concept before you type.
2. Flux source
from(bucket:"metrics") starts the Flux pipeline by selecting a bucket.
from(bucket:"metrics")3. Pipe to range
|> pipes the table into range(), which filters to the last hour.
|> range(start:-1h)4. Run from file
-f runs the Flux script stored in a file instead of inline text.

01
Understand
Read the concept map and follow the code breakdown.
02
Reconstruct
Type the implementation, repair mistakes and work through every recall exercise.
03
Verify
Use the final check without hints; revisit weak concepts in short practice sessions.
