I am using influx DB and grafana to display some data. There are frequently power outages where it will display null data. I want to create a single stat panel that will display the time since the last null value.
When editing the single stat I know about the "Time of last point" and the unit "from now" under options, but I seem to be having trouble with figuring out what the actual query should be to get a time displayed.
Right now my query is:
SELECT ("value") FROM "measurement"
WHERE ("host" = 'IP.ADDRESS' AND "and" = 'null') AND $timeFilter
GROUP BY time(365d) fill(null)
Where value, measurement, and IP.ADDRESS are all filled in with the correct information.
I know what I have is wrong, but I am not sure what to put.
Ideally what I am trying to say in the query is display the last time since the value displayed on grafana was null in the last 365 days.

I’m running into a problem that might be self inflicted but I’m a noob and I’m still stumbling thru this dashboard I inherited.
We are using Grafana 8.1.5. I inherited a dashboard with a panel that is giving this error message:
“failed to convert long to wide series when converting from dataframe: can not convert to wide series, input has null time values” error.
I think I know the cause but I don’t know how to fix it. The data source is from a MySQL database. When we select “All” under the dropdown “Org”, we don’t get this error and we get 8 rows back and are expecting 8 rows.
When we select one org (in this example “Data Protection”) under the dropdown “Org”, we do get the error and we get 5 rows back. I think because 3 queries return 0 rows, we are getting this error.
Each pie slice has its own SQL query to get data. For the queries that return 0 rows, I tried selecting some of the “Standard options” to fix it but it doesn’t seem to work. I tried to play around with the Min, Max, and “No Value” settings and enter values larger than 0 but I still get this error. The initial values for Min and Max were "auto" and "No Value" was blank but the screenshot is when I left them as "1" while I was messing with them.
What do I need to do to make the message go away? Is the message benign and I shouldn’t worry about it since it looks like we’re still printing out the pie chart?
Write SQL, which returns record with zero value instead of empty result. In theory zero value, won't be visible in the pie chart and you will have still record for dataframe transformation, so that one won't be failing.
So I accidentally stumbled across the answer. What happened is the query returned data formatted as "Time Series" instead of "Table". Because some of the data didn't have values for the specified time, the time value was Null.
Since it was Null, the chart returned this error message. The fix was to select "Table" as the format. Then the chart won't care about the time value being Null and the missing data appears as 0 in the legend and we don't get the error message anymore.
I need a little help here with Grafana...
I am trying to make a single stat which will be showing result from the query. The challenge for me here is that part of the query must be one of the fixed values (numbers) which user would select from menu picture. If user select Current Shift, value to query would be for example today, from 6:00 - 14:00.
Then pass the value to variable that query would use to limit range of data (for example in flux datasource).
I use Grafana 6.5.2 and Influxdb 1.7.9.

I have a query from another thread which goes through a list of different events and pulls out the most recent event and puts it into a list. The code I'm using is:
SELECT Cleaning1, Max(Date1) AS most_recent
FROM CleaningLog
GROUP BY Cleaning1;
Cleaning1 is the column that has the different cleanings, and Date1 is the column that has the date the cleaning occurred, and CleaningLog is the name of the table. I currently have a macro in Access which is an OpenQuery, query. I am having it open the above query, and then having it view as a data sheet and it's in edit mode.
What I am stuck on, is getting a subsequent macro/query/vba code to take the datasheet the query produces and going through each item and determining if they're over due to be cleaned. I tried having a Make Table query, but the problem is, there is no user friendly way to refresh that table without having to delete it (I am having unskilled workers use this Access sheet).
I am wondering if there's a way to look at the most recent cleaning's date, what the query produces, and filter the dates out that are over due for a cleaning, specified by a parameter. I have been looking at this webpage to start playing with the notation, but I haven't been able to come up with much that is useful.

Another problem that I am encountering is that each cleaning doesn't have the same time frame in which is needs to be cleaned.
Thank you in advance for any help!!
You should just be able to modify the query above to show entries with a max date lower than they should be. Below shows entries that haven't been cleaned in 30 days, for instance.
SELECT Cleaning1, Max(Date1) AS most_recent
FROM CleaningLog
GROUP BY Cleaning1
HAVING Max(Date1) < Now() - 30;
I have an Access 2007 database that requires a query be run every week to gather every record that was worked on the prior week. The current setup is:
I have a query where the date range's WHERE criteria is: Between [Forms]![frm_Menu]![txt_fromdate] And [Forms]![frm_Menu]![txt_todate]+"1"
"fromdate" and "todate" text boxes in frm_Menu are unbound text boxes. "fromdate" has an AfterUpdate event that fills in "todate" with the date chosen in "fromdate" plus 6 days.
frm_Menu has a button for running the query after "fromdate" and "todate" are filled in.
The issue is, when I run the query for a week's worth of records, I get entries outside the selected date range. For example, if I have "3/1/2015" in the "fromdate" text box and "3/7/2015" in the "todate" text box, I'll receive the results from 3/1 to 3/7, but I'm also getting results from 3/10, 3/11, and 3/12.
At first, I thought it might be reading "3/1/2015" as "3/1x/2015," but that doesn't explain why I'm ONLY getting extra results from 3/10 through 3/12 and not 3/13 through 3/19 as well.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? To work around this problem, I've just been running a query that gathers EVERYTHING and then filtering out what's need in Excel before sending it over. Ideally, I'd like for the person who needs this report to be able to open the database themselves, pick the date range they need, and then export the query results from Access.
It turned out I had the data type for the Dates column as Text instead of Date/Time. Retried the same query after changing the column to Date/Time and it worked perfectly. Just a PEBKAC error.
I want to set the default range on a date filter to show me the last 10 days - so basically looking at the lastDate (max date) in the data and default filtering only on the last 10 days (maxDate - 10)
How it looks now:
I still would want to the see the entire range bar on the dashboard and give the user the ability to modify the selected range if he wants to. The maxDate changes after every data refresh so it has to be some sort of a condition that is applied to the filter.
How I want it to look (by default after every refresh of data - new dates coming in):
Any suggestions on how this can be done? I know I can use the relative date and show the data for last 10 days but that would modify the filter and create a drop down which I don't want.
Any suggestions are welcome!
One simple approach that does most of what you want is the following:
Create an integer valued parameter with a range from 1 to some max
you choose, say 100. Call it say num_days.
Show the parameter control on your dashboard as a slider, and give
it a nice title like "Number of days to display"
Create a boolean calculated field called Within_Day_Range defined as:
datediff('minute', [My_Date_Field], now()) < [num_days] * 24 * 60
Put Within_Day_Range on the filter shelf and select the value true.
This lets the user easily select how many days in the past to include, and works to the granularity of minutes (i.e. the last two days really means the last 48 hours, not starting at midnight yesterday). Adjust the calculated field if you want different behavior.
The main drawback of this approach as described so far is that it doesn't display the earliest date possible in the database because that is filtered out. Quick filters do an initial query to get the bounds, which has a performance cost -- so using the approach described here can avoid that query and thus load faster.
If you really need that information on your dashboard, you could create a different worksheet to get just the min([My_Date_Field]) and display that near your parameter control.
