influx: Return output in a specific format.

This command is related to InfluxDB, a time series database. Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

  • influx: This is the executable or command to run InfluxDB.

  • -execute "${influxql_command}": This flag executes the InfluxQL command provided within the double quotes ("${influxql_command}").

    • influxql_command: This is a placeholder for the actual InfluxQL command that you want to execute. It should be replaced with a specific InfluxQL query or command.
  • -format ${select}: This flag specifies the desired format of the output.

    • ${select}: This is a placeholder for the actual format you want to use. It should be replaced with a specific format option, such as csv, json, pretty, etc. This determines how the query results will be formatted and presented.

Overall, this command allows you to execute an InfluxQL command, specified by ${influxql_command}, and specify the format of the output using the -format flag followed by ${select}.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
