Here raw data is written directly from an edge instance of InfluxDB to a cloud instance.

In this approach, raw data from the edge is downsampled in-memory at the edge, and that downsampled data is pushed to the cloud where it is written into InfluxDB.

Create a task in your edge instance of InfluxDB that downsamples the raw data from the “devices” bucket at the edge and sends that downsampled data to the “edge_aggregate” bucket in the cloud every one minute.
