Make InfluxDB/Grafana cumulative function that resets daily (sawtooth graph)

Question

I'm logging energy usage data as a counter, which I would like to display as cumulative graphs that reset daily, as similarly asked here.

I can generate the cumulative value as follows:

SELECT mean("value") \
  FROM "energy" \
  WHERE $timeFilter \
  GROUP BY time($__interval)

and the daily value as well:

SELECT max("value") \
  FROM "energy" \
  WHERE $timeFilter \
  GROUP BY time(1d)

but I cannot subtract this or get this in one query, because the GROUP BY times are different.

(How) is this possible in influxdb? I've looked at INTEGRATE() but this haven't found a way to make this working.

The data looks like this (example limited to 1 day):

time                 value

I can plot the following:

But I want something like:

Answer 1

I found a solution, it's quite simple in the end:

SELECT kaifa-kaifa_fill as Energy FROM
  (SELECT first(kaifa) as kaifa_fill from energyv2 WHERE $timeFilter group by time(1d) TZ('Europe/Amsterdam')),
  (SELECT first(kaifa) as kaifa from energyv2 WHERE $timeFilter GROUP BY time($__interval))
fill(previous)

Note the fill(previous) is required to ensure kaifa_fill and kaifa overlap.

Example data:

time                 kaifa     kaifa_fill kaifa_kaifa_fill
