I have pasted an example below but it might not do what you expect. The elapsed time will almost always be 10m since that is the period of your window, except for the first 10m where it will still be filling up. Kapacitor measures time based on the data it sees. This means the window will not be emitted until a new point arrives. If you are expecting the time difference of the window to not be 10m than that means that points are arriving less frequently than at 1m intervals. In which case emitting the window will be delayed until the next point arrives.
var vids = stream |from() .measurement('control') .groupBy('vid') |window() .period(10m) .every(1m) var mins = vids |min('ping') .as('minping') var first = vids |first('ping') .usePointTimes() .as('ping') var last = vids |last('ping') .usePointTimes() .as('ping') first |union(last) |elapsed('ping', 1s) On Friday, September 9, 2016 at 7:24:55 AM UTC-6, e.p...@viriciti.com wrote: > > I'm trying to get the time difference between the first and the last item > within a window of 10 minutes using kapacitor.
