Time series:
- return column named time or time_sec (in UTC), as a unix time stamp or any sql native date data type. You can use the macros below.
- return column(s) with numeric datatype as values
- (Optional: return column named metric to represent the series name. If no column named metric is found the column name of the value column is used as series name)

Table:
- return any set of columns

Macros:
- $__time(column) -> UNIX_TIMESTAMP(column) as time_sec
- $__timeEpoch(column) -> UNIX_TIMESTAMP(column) as time_sec
- $__timeFilter(column) ->  UNIX_TIMESTAMP(time_date_time) ≥ 1492750877 AND UNIX_TIMESTAMP(time_date_time) ≤ 1492750877
- $__unixEpochFilter(column) ->  time_unix_epoch > 1492750877 AND time_unix_epoch < 1492750877
- $__timeGroup(column,'5m') -> cast(cast(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(column)/(300) as signed)*300 as signed)

Example of group by and order by with $__timeGroup:
SELECT
  $__timeGroup(timestamp_col, '1h') AS time,
  sum(value_double) as value
FROM yourtable
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1

Or build your own conditionals using these macros which just return the values:
- $__timeFrom() ->  FROM_UNIXTIME(1492750877)
- $__timeTo() ->  FROM_UNIXTIME(1492750877)
- $__unixEpochFrom() ->  1492750877
- $__unixEpochTo() ->  1492750877
