How to Build Grafana Dashboards with InfluxDB, Flux and InfluxQL

The new release of Grafana 7.1 extends its built-in InfluxDB datasource to support both Flux language and InfluxQL queries, making it easy to connect Grafana to InfluxDB without a separate plugin. This update allows users to leverage the capabilities of Flux, which enables more powerful queries than InfluxQL, such as joins, math across measurements, and grouping by any column. The new feature also supports advanced analytics and data shaping using Flux's string package for sanitization and normalization, as well as work with geo-temporal data. Additionally, users can create multiple InfluxDB Data Sources in Grafana, one of which uses Flux, and another that uses InfluxQL. The integration is available today with the launch of Grafana 7.1 and supports various variants of Grafana, InfluxDB, and language combinations.
