Append a sample to a time series
keyis key name for the time series.
timestampis Unix time (integer, in milliseconds) specifying the sample timestamp or * to set the sample timestamp to the Unix time of the server's clock.
Unix time is the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, the Unix epoch, without adjustments made due to leap seconds.
valueis (double) numeric data value of the sample. The double number should follow RFC 7159 (JSON standard). In particular, the parser rejects overly large values that do not fit in binary64. It does not accept NaN or infinite values.
When specified key does not exist, a new time series is created.
if a COMPACTION_POLICY configuration parameter is defined, compacted time series would be created as well.
If timestamp is older than the retention period compared to the maximum existing timestamp, the sample is discarded and an error is returned.
When adding a sample to a time series for which compaction rules are defined:
Explicitly adding samples to a compacted time series (using TS.ADD, TS.MADD, TS.INCRBY, or TS.DECRBY) may result in inconsistencies between the raw and the compacted data. The compaction process may override such samples.
The following arguments are optional because they can be set by TS.CREATE.
RETENTION retentionPeriodis maximum retention period, compared to the maximum existing timestamp, in milliseconds.
Use it only if you are creating a new time series. It is ignored if you are adding samples to an existing time series. See RETENTION in TS.CREATE.
ENCODING encspecifies the series sample encoding format.
Use it only if you are creating a new time series. It is ignored if you are adding samples to an existing time series. See ENCODING in TS.CREATE.
CHUNK_SIZE sizeis memory size, in bytes, allocated for each data chunk.
Use it only if you are creating a new time series. It is ignored if you are adding samples to an existing time series. See CHUNK_SIZE in TS.CREATE.
DUPLICATE_POLICY policyis policy for handling insertion (TS.ADD and TS.MADD) of multiple samples with identical timestamps.
Use it only if you are creating a new time series. It is ignored if you are adding samples to an existing time series. See DUPLICATE_POLICY in TS.CREATE.
ON_DUPLICATE policy_ovris overwrite key and database configuration for DUPLICATE_POLICY, the policy for handling samples with identical timestamps.
This override is effective only for this single command and does not set the time series duplication policy (which can be set with TS.ALTER).
policy_ovr can be one of the following values:
BLOCK: ignore any newly reported value and reply with an errorFIRST: ignore any newly reported valueLAST: override with the newly reported valueMIN: only override if the value is lower than the existing valueMAX: only override if the value is higher than the existing valueSUM: If a previous sample exists, add the new sample to it so that the updated value is set to (previous + new). If no previous sample exists, the value is set to the new value.This argument has no effect when a new time series is created by this command.
IGNORE ignoreMaxTimediff ignoreMaxValDiffis the policy for handling duplicate samples. A new sample is considered a duplicate and is ignored if the following conditions are met:
DUPLICATE_POLICY IS LAST;timestamp ≥ max_timestamp);timestamp - max_timestamp) is less than or equal to IGNORE_MAX_TIME_DIFF;abs(value - value_at_max_timestamp) is less than or equal to IGNORE_MAX_VAL_DIFF.where max_timestamp is the timestamp of the sample with the largest timestamp in the time series, and value_at_max_timestamp is the value at max_timestamp.
When not specified: set to the global IGNORE_MAX_TIME_DIFF and IGNORE_MAX_VAL_DIFF, which are, by default, both set to 0.
These parameters are used when creating a new time series to set the per-key parameters, and are ignored when called with an existing time series (the existing per-key configuration parameters is used).
LABELS {label value}...is set of label-value pairs that represent metadata labels of the time series.
Use it only if you are creating a new time series. It is ignored if you are adding samples to an existing time series. See LABELS in TS.CREATE.
RETENTION, ENCODING, CHUNK_SIZE, DUPLICATE_POLICY, IGNORE, and LABELS are used only when creating a new time series, and ignored when adding samples to an existing time series.RETENTION and LABELS introduces additional time complexity.
If a compaction rule exists on a time series, the performance of TS.ADD can be reduced.
The complexity of TS.ADD is always O(M), where M is the number of compaction rules or O(1) with no compaction.
Create a temperature time series, set its retention to 1 year, and append a sample.
