Update multiple field values matching a condition in InfluxDB

Question

In an InfluxDB measurement, how can the field values of points matching a query be updated? Is this still not easily doable as of v1.6?

As the example in that GitHub

Answer 1

Update is possible and would take the format:

INSERT measurement,tag_name=tag_value_no_quotes value_key_1=value_value_1,value_key_2=value_value_2 time

for example where I want to update the line with tag my_box at time 1526988768877018669 on the box measurement:

INSERT box,box_name=my_box item_1='apple',item_2='melon' 1526988768877018669
