====Current Point Query====

The **Current Point** query is very similar to the [[Point|Point]] query in most respects - except for the fact that it only ever shows the value of the property that was //live at the time the query was made//.

This is true even if you have set your Grafana date filter to look at some time in the past - the Current Point query ignores your date range and provides the latest information. 

To allow its use in a number of situations, the Current Point time series contains //two// points - one at the beginning of the time range, one at the end. If you are using aggregations in Grafana, we suggest using //First//, //Last// or //Average//.

===Extra Values===

Unlike Point, Current Point will include values that are //not// linked to your historian, such as static or fixed values.

In the above example, you'll notice that the **Current Point** version is flat (as it only includes the latest value), and that there is an additional line for //Time till Maintenance Due//, a property that isn't linked to an historian.
