Time complexity:
O(n/m+k) where n = Number of data points, m = Chunk size (data points per chunk), k = Number of data points that are in the requested range

Query a range in forward direction

Examples

Required arguments

key

is the key name for the time series.

fromTimestamp

is start timestamp for the range query (integer Unix timestamp in milliseconds) or - to denote the timestamp of the earliest sample in the time series.

toTimestamp

is end timestamp for the range query (integer Unix timestamp in milliseconds) or + to denote the timestamp of the latest sample in the time series.

Note: When the time series is a compaction, the last compacted value may aggregate raw values with timestamp beyond toTimestamp. That is because toTimestamp only limits the timestamp of the compacted value, which is the start time of the raw bucket that was compacted.

Optional arguments

LATEST (since RedisTimeSeries v1.8)

is used when a time series is a compaction. With LATEST, TS.RANGE also reports the compacted value of the latest, possibly partial, bucket, given that this bucket's start time falls within [fromTimestamp, toTimestamp]. Without LATEST, TS.RANGE does not report the latest, possibly partial, bucket. When a time series is not a compaction, LATEST is ignored.

The data in the latest bucket of a compaction is possibly partial. A bucket is closed and compacted only upon arrival of a new sample that opens a new latest bucket. There are cases, however, when the compacted value of the latest, possibly partial, bucket is also required. In such a case, use LATEST.

FILTER_BY_TS ts... (since RedisTimeSeries v1.6)

filters samples by a list of specific timestamps. A sample passes the filter if its exact timestamp is specified and falls within [fromTimestamp, toTimestamp].

When used together with AGGREGATION: samples are filtered before being aggregated.

FILTER_BY_VALUE min max (since RedisTimeSeries v1.6)

filters samples by minimum and maximum values.

When used together with AGGREGATION: samples are filtered before being aggregated.

COUNT count

When used without AGGREGATION: limits the number of reported samples.

When used together with AGGREGATION: limits the number of reported buckets.

ALIGN align (since RedisTimeSeries v1.6)

is a time bucket alignment control for AGGREGATION. It controls the time bucket timestamps by changing the reference timestamp on which a bucket is defined.

align values include:

  • start or -: The reference timestamp will be the query start interval time (fromTimestamp) which can't be -
  • end or +: The reference timestamp will be the query end interval time (toTimestamp) which can't be +
  • A specific timestamp: align the reference timestamp to a specific time

Note: When not provided, alignment is set to 0.

AGGREGATION aggregator bucketDuration

aggregates samples into time buckets, where:

  • aggregator takes one of the following aggregation types:

    aggregator Description
    avg Arithmetic mean of all values
    sum Sum of all values
    min Minimum value
    max Maximum value
    range Difference between the maximum and the minimum value
    count Number of values
    first Value with lowest timestamp in the bucket
    last Value with highest timestamp in the bucket
    std.p Population standard deviation of the values
    std.s Sample standard deviation of the values
    var.p Population variance of the values
    var.s Sample variance of the values
    twa Time-weighted average over the bucket's timeframe (since RedisTimeSeries v1.8)
  • bucketDuration is duration of each bucket, in milliseconds.

Without ALIGN, bucket start times are multiples of bucketDuration.

With ALIGN align, bucket start times are multiples of bucketDuration with remainder align % bucketDuration.

The first bucket start time is less than or equal to fromTimestamp.

[BUCKETTIMESTAMP bt] (since RedisTimeSeries v1.8)

controls how bucket timestamps are reported.

bt Timestamp reported for each bucket
- or start the bucket's start time (default)
+ or end the bucket's end time
~ or mid the bucket's mid time (rounded down if not an integer)
[EMPTY] (since RedisTimeSeries v1.8)

is a flag, which, when specified, reports aggregations also for empty buckets.

aggregator Value reported for each empty bucket
sum, count 0
last The value of the last sample before the bucket's start. NaN when no such sample.
twa Average value over the bucket's timeframe based on linear interpolation of the last sample before the bucket's start and the first sample after the bucket's end. NaN when no such samples.
min, max, range, avg, first, std.p, std.s NaN

Regardless of the values of fromTimestamp and toTimestamp, no data is reported for buckets that end before the earliest sample or begin after the latest sample in the time series.

Return value

Returns one of these replies:

Complexity

TS.RANGE complexity can be improved in the future by using binary search to find the start of the range, which makes this O(Log(n/m)+k*m). But, because m is small, you can disregard it and look at the operation as O(Log(n)+k).

Examples

Filter results by timestamp or sample value

Consider a metric where acceptable values are between -100 and 100, and the value 9999 is used as an indication of bad measurement.

127.0.0.1:6379> TS.CREATE temp:TLV LABELS type temp location TLV
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> TS.MADD temp:TLV 1000 30 temp:TLV 1010 35 temp:TLV 1020 9999 temp:TLV 1030 40
1) (integer) 1000
2) (integer) 1010
3) (integer) 1020
4) (integer) 1030

Now, retrieve all values except out-of-range values.

TS.RANGE temp:TLV - + FILTER_BY_VALUE -100 100
1) 1) (integer) 1000
   2) 30
2) 1) (integer) 1010
   2) 35
3) 1) (integer) 1030
   2) 40

Now, retrieve the average value, while ignoring out-of-range values.

TS.RANGE temp:TLV - + FILTER_BY_VALUE -100 100 AGGREGATION avg 1000
1) 1) (integer) 1000
   2) 35
Align aggregation buckets

To demonstrate alignment, let’s create a stock and add prices at nine different timestamps.

127.0.0.1:6379> TS.CREATE stock:A LABELS type stock name A
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> TS.MADD stock:A 1000 100 stock:A 1010 110 stock:A 1020 120
1) (integer) 1000
2) (integer) 1010
3) (integer) 1020
127.0.0.1:6379> TS.MADD stock:A 2000 200 stock:A 2010 210 stock:A 2020 220
1) (integer) 2000
2) (integer) 2010
3) (integer) 2020
127.0.0.1:6379> TS.MADD stock:A 3000 300 stock:A 3010 310 stock:A 3020 320
1) (integer) 3000
2) (integer) 3010
3) (integer) 3020

Next, aggregate without using ALIGN, defaulting to alignment 0.

127.0.0.1:6379> TS.RANGE stock:A - + AGGREGATION min 20
1) 1) (integer) 1000
   2) 100
2) 1) (integer) 1020
   2) 120
3) 1) (integer) 1040
   2) 210
4) 1) (integer) 1060
   2) 300
5) 1) (integer) 1080
   2) 320

And now set ALIGN to 10 to have a bucket start at time 10, and align all the buckets with a 20 milliseconds duration.

127.0.0.1:6379> TS.RANGE stock:A - + ALIGN 10 AGGREGATION min 20
1) 1) (integer) 990
   2) 100
2) 1) (integer) 1010
   2) 110
3) 1) (integer) 1990
   2) 200
4) 1) (integer) 2010
   2) 210
5) 1) (integer) 2990
   2) 300
6) 1) (integer) 3010
   2) 310

When the start timestamp for the range query is explicitly stated (not -), you can set ALIGN to that time by setting align to - or to start.

127.0.0.1:6379> TS.RANGE stock:A 5 + ALIGN - AGGREGATION min 20
1) 1) (integer) 985
   2) 100
2) 1) (integer) 1005
   2) 110
3) 1) (integer) 1985
   2) 200
4) 1) (integer) 2005
   2) 210
5) 1) (integer) 2985
   2) 300
6) 1) (integer) 3005
   2) 310

Similarly, when the end timestamp for the range query is explicitly stated, you can set ALIGN to that time by setting align to + or to end.
