Summary

InfluxQL and Flux have unified schema exploration concepts, allowing users to explore a schema using tags keys and values. InfluxQL meta queries can be used to show measurement names, list all the tag keys for a specific measurement, list distinct values for a specific tag in a measurement, list fields for a measurement, and expand on these results to see available values or keys within those expansions. Users can use helper functions to simplify their queries and Flux plans to formalize additional metadata querying capabilities in the near future.
