As you can see, plugin uses aggregation by given time interval. This interval is provided by Grafana and depends on the
|
||||
panel with in pixels. Thus, Grafana always gets data in necessary resolution.

## Functions usage with Direct DB Connection
|
||||
|
||||
There's only one function affecting backend. This function is `consolidateBy`. It changes what data comes from
|
||||
the backend. Other functions still work on the client side and transform data come from the backend. So you should
|
||||
clearly understand that you work with pre-aggregated data (by AVG, MAX, MIN, etc). For example, you want to group
|
||||
values by 1 hour interval and `max` function. But if you just apply `groupBy(10m, max)` function, result will be wrong,
|
||||
because you transform data aggregated by default `AVG` function. You should use `consolidateBy(max)` coupled with
|
||||
`groupBy(10m, max)` in order to get precise result.
