I wrote a python program to enter historical data into influxdb.
Everything seems to be ok, but I am not sure if the time field is incorrect. The time is supposed to be YYYY,MM,DD,HH,MM as integers.
This is an example of the json that I am sending to influxdb,
[{'fields': {'High': 72.06, 'Close': 72.01, 'Volume': 6348, 'Open': 72.01, 'Low': 72.01}, 'tags': {'country': 'US', 'symbol': 'AAXJ', 'type': 'ETF', 'exchange': 'NASDAQ'}, 'time': datetime.dat
e(2017, 9, 7, 15, 35), 'measurement': 'quote'}]
However, when I query the data, I get a strange number for the time like this:
time Close High Low Open Volume country exchange symbol type
---- ----- ---- --- ---- ------ ------- -------- ------ ----
1504798500000000000 144.46 144.47 144.06 144.1 112200 US NYSE IBM STOCK
Seems like either the json time format is wrong, or the number displayed by the query is an encoded date representation?
I found the answer here
Formatting the output by entering the following command in the CLI:
