TL;DR InfluxDB Tech Tips - InfluxDB Common Issues With Basic Syntax

In this weekly post, we recap common issues with basic syntax and TICK-stack related issues in InfluxDB, including configuring returned timestamps to be in second-precision epoch time, backfilling results for continuous queries, and accessing error documentation. The CLI returns timestamps in nanosecond format by default, but can be changed to seconds using the `precision` command. Continuous Queries operate on real-time data and do not automatically backfill older data, requiring a basic INTO query to fill gaps. InfluxDB has created a new documentation page for error messages and causes, providing users with more resources to troubleshoot issues.
