How to set time using SeriesHelper? #259
Description
I tried to use SeriesHelper to set the time, but it keeps getting overridden with default current time when saving into DB. I have added it to the fields (don't know if this is correct, as the documentation does not specify anything about setting time):
class MeteorologicalDataHelper(SeriesHelper):
# Meta class stores time series helper configuration.
class Meta:
# The client should be an instance of InfluxDBClient.
client = myclient
# The series name must be a string. Add dependent fields/tags in curly brackets.
series_name = 'meteorological_data'
# Defines all the fields in this time series.
fields = ['time', 'air_temperature']
# Defines all the tags for the series.
tags = []
# Defines the number of data points to store prior to writing on the wire.
bulk_size = 100
# autocommit must be set to True when using bulk_size
autocommit = True
But it seems that this value is not used, for example I have executed the following:
MeteorologicalDataHelper(air_temperature=12, time=1434067467000000000)
And then checked in console of influx and the time was set to current time instead of the provided one:
> select * from meteorological_data
name: meteorological_data
-------------------------
time air_temperature
