InfluxDB: Optimize your Data with Data Retention Policies and Continuous Queries
One big caveat: As you see, the tag host is transformed to a number format, not a string. Astonishingly, there is no way in InfluxDB to change the tag values with a select INTO values, as documented in this issue from 2015, or a way to rename tags of existing data as discussed in this issue. The workarounds are to use a client software or to use the Flux language, but both is outside the scope of this article.
