yield() function
The yield() function indicates the input tables received should be delivered as a result of the query.
Yield outputs the input stream unmodified.
A query may have multiple results, each identified by the name provided to the yield() function.
Function type: Output
Output data type: Object
yield(name: "custom-name")
yield() is implicit for queries that do only one thing and are only needed when using multiple sources in a query.
With multiple sources, yield() is required to specify what is returned, and what name to give it.
Parameters
name
A unique name for the yielded results.
Defaults to "_results".
Data type: String
Examples
from(bucket: "example-bucket")
|> range(start: -5m)
|> yield(name: "1")
