Influxdb Query Time Format

[Jay S]

I'm using influxdb to store data from sensors etc. 

When I pass data to a database, the time is recorded in milliseconds on input.

If i view the data using the influx cli, it shows the time in milliseconds.

When i query the data using the influx query node, the time is retrieved as a timestamp in date format, eg 2016-11-29T21:40:48.775Z.

Does anyone know how I can set the precision type for the time in the query so I can get the time out in milliseconds?

I want to be able to pass this data on to the chart ui node and I believe it needs the time in millisecond format.

A millisecond is a thousandth of a second so the ISO timestamp you are showing does give you milliseconds. :)

But what I think you want is to convert the ISO format STRING into a JavaScript DATE?

isoStr = '2016-11-29T21:40:48.775Z';
msDate = Date.parse( isoStr );
