Package Exports

@redis/time-series
@redis/time-series/dist/lib/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@redis/time-series) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

@redis/time-series

This package provides support for the RedisTimeSeries module, which adds a time series data structure to Redis.

Should be used with redis/@redis/client.

⚠️ To use these extra commands, your Redis server must have the RedisTimeSeries module installed.

Usage

For a complete example, see time-series.js in the Node Redis examples folder.

Creating Time Series data structure in Redis

The TS.CREATE command creates a new time series.

Here, we'll create a new time series "temperature":

import { createClient } from 'redis';
import { TimeSeriesDuplicatePolicies, TimeSeriesEncoding, TimeSeriesAggregationType } from '@redis/time-series';

...
const created = await client.ts.create('temperature', {
  RETENTION: 86400000, // 1 day in milliseconds
  ENCODING: TimeSeriesEncoding.UNCOMPRESSED, // No compression - When not specified, the option is set to COMPRESSED
  DUPLICATE_POLICY: TimeSeriesDuplicatePolicies.BLOCK, // No duplicates - When not specified: set to the global DUPLICATE_POLICY configuration of the database (which by default, is BLOCK).
});

if (created === 'OK') {
  console.log('Created timeseries.');
} else {
  console.log('Error creating timeseries :(');
  process.exit(1);
}

Adding new value to a Time Series data structure in Redis

With RedisTimeSeries, we can add a single value to time series data structure using the TS.ADD command and if we would like to add multiple values we can use the TS.MADD command.

let value = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000) + 1; // Random data point value
let currentTimestamp = 1640995200000; // Jan 1 2022 00:00:00
let num = 0;

while (num < 10000) {
  // Add a new value to the timeseries, providing our own timestamp:
  // https://redis.io/commands/ts.add/
  await client.ts.add('temperature', currentTimestamp, value);
  console.log(`Added timestamp ${currentTimestamp}, value ${value}.`);

  num += 1;
  value = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000) + 1; // Get another random value
  currentTimestamp += 1000; // Move on one second.
}

// Add multiple values to the timeseries in round trip to the server:
// https://redis.io/commands/ts.madd/
const response = await client.ts.mAdd([{
  key: 'temperature',
  timestamp: currentTimestamp + 60000,
  value: Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000) + 1
}, {
  key: 'temperature',
  timestamp: currentTimestamp + 120000,
  value: Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000) + 1
}]);

Retrieving Time Series data from Redis

With RedisTimeSeries, we can retrieve the time series data using the TS.RANGE command by passing the criteria as follows:

// Query the timeseries with TS.RANGE:
// https://redis.io/commands/ts.range/
const fromTimestamp = 1640995200000; // Jan 1 2022 00:00:00
const toTimestamp = 1640995260000; // Jan 1 2022 00:01:00
const rangeResponse = await client.ts.range('temperature', fromTimestamp, toTimestamp, {
  // Group into 10 second averages.
  AGGREGATION: {
    type: TimeSeriesAggregationType.AVERAGE,
    timeBucket: 10000
  }
});

console.log('RANGE RESPONSE:');
// rangeResponse looks like:
// [
//   { timestamp: 1640995200000, value: 356.8 },
//   { timestamp: 1640995210000, value: 534.8 },
//   { timestamp: 1640995220000, value: 481.3 },
//   { timestamp: 1640995230000, value: 437 },
//   { timestamp: 1640995240000, value: 507.3 },
//   { timestamp: 1640995250000, value: 581.2 },
//   { timestamp: 1640995260000, value: 600 }
// ]

Altering Time Series data Stored in Redis

RedisTimeSeries includes commands that can update values in a time series data structure.

Using the TS.ALTER command, we can update time series retention like this:

// https://redis.io/commands/ts.alter/
const alterResponse = await client.ts.alter('temperature', {
  RETENTION: 0 // Keep the entries forever
});

Retrieving Information about the timeseries Stored in Redis

RedisTimeSeries also includes commands that can help to view the information on the state of a time series.

Using the TS.INFO command, we can view timeseries information like this:

// Get some information about the state of the timeseries.
// https://redis.io/commands/ts.info/
const tsInfo = await client.ts.info('temperature');

// tsInfo looks like this:
// {
//   totalSamples: 1440,
//   memoryUsage: 28904,
//   firstTimestamp: 1641508920000,
//   lastTimestamp: 1641595320000,
//   retentionTime: 86400000,
//   chunkCount: 7,
//   chunkSize: 4096,
//   chunkType: 'uncompressed',
//   duplicatePolicy: 'block',
//   labels: [],
//   sourceKey: null,
//   rules: []
// }
