The outermost construct of InfluxDB is called organization, which is a dashboard consisting of buckets, which are named locations where all time series data is stored. All buckets have a time duration, called a retention period, during which each data point remains, and when a point has a timestamp that is longer than the retention period, it is deleted by InfluxDB to reduce overall disk usage. Measures are conceptually similar to tables in a relational database, and are named buckets for tags, fields, and timestamps.
