Influx Inspect is an InfluxDB disk utility that can be used to:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* View detailed information about disk shards.
|
|||
|
* Export data from a shard to [InfluxDB line protocol](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/concepts/glossary/#influxdb-line-protocol) that can be inserted back into the database.
|
|||
|
* Convert TSM index shards to TSI index shards.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## `influx_inspect` utility
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Syntax
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
influx_inspect [ [ command ] [ options ] ]
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
`-help` is the default command and prints syntax and usage information for the tool.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### `influx_inspect` commands
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The `influx_inspect` commands are summarized here, with links to detailed information on each of the commands.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* [`buildtsi`](#buildtsi): Converts in-memory (TSM-based) shards to TSI.
|
|||
|
* [`deletetsm`](#deletetsm): Bulk deletes a measurement from a raw TSM file.
|
|||
|
* [`dumptsi`](#dumptsi): Dumps low-level details about TSI files.
|
|||
|
* [`dumptsm`](#dumptsm): Dumps low-level details about TSM files.
|
|||
|
* [`dumptsmwal`](#dumptsmwal): Dump all data from a WAL file.
|
|||
|
* [`export`](#export): Exports raw data from a shard in InfluxDB line protocol format.
|
|||
|
* [`report`](#report): Displays a shard level report.
|
|||
|
* [`report-disk`](#report-disk): Reports disk usage by shard and measurement.
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
* [`verify-tombstone`](#verify-tombstone): Verifies the integrity of tombstones.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### `buildtsi`
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Builds TSI (Time Series Index) disk-based shard index files and associated series files.
|
|||
|
The index is written to a temporary location until complete and then moved to a permanent location.
|
|||
|
If an error occurs, then this operation will fall back to the original in-memory index.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
> ***Note:*** **For offline conversion only.**
|
|||
|
> When TSI is enabled, new shards use the TSI indexes.
|
|||
|
> Existing shards continue as TSM-based shards until
|
|||
|
> converted offline.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
##### Syntax
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
influx_inspect buildtsi -datadir <data_dir> -waldir <wal_dir> [ options ]
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
> **Note:** Use the `buildtsi` command with the user account that you are going to run the database as,
|
|||
|
> or ensure that the permissions match after running the command.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
#### Options
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Optional arguments are in brackets.

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
RFC3339 requires very specific formatting. For example, to indicate no time zone offset (UTC+0), you must include Z or +00:00 after seconds. Examples of valid RFC3339 formats include:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
**No offset**
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+00:00
|
|||
|
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ
|
|||
|
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.nnnnnnZ (fractional seconds (.nnnnnn) are optional)
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
**With offset**
|
|||
|
|

|
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS-08:00

|
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+07:00
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
> **Note:** With offsets, avoid replacing the + or - sign with a Z. It may cause an error or print Z (ISO 8601 behavior) instead of the time zone offset.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
##### [ `-lponly` ]
|
|||
|
Output data in line protocol format only.
|
|||

Default value is `""`.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
##### [ `-detailed` ]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The flag to report detailed cardinality estimates.
|
|||
|
Default value is `false`.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
##### [ `-exact` ]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The flag to report exact cardinality counts instead of estimates.
|
|||
|
Default value is `false`.
|
|||
|
Note: This can use a lot of memory.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### `report-disk`
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Use the `report-disk` command to review TSM file disk usage per shard and measurement in a specified directory. Useful for capacity planning and identifying which measurement or shard is using the most disk space. The default directory path `~/.influxdb/data/`.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Calculates the total disk size by database (`db`), retention policy (`rp`), shard (`shard`), tsm file (`tsm_file`), and measurement (`measurement`).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
#### Syntax
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
influx_inspect report-disk [ options ] <data_dir>
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
#### Options
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Optional arguments are in brackets.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
##### [ `-detailed` ]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Report disk usage by measurement.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### `reporttsi`
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The report does the following:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* Calculates the total exact series cardinality in the database.
|
|||
|
* Segments that cardinality by measurement, and emits those cardinality values.
|
|||
|
* Emits total exact cardinality for each shard in the database.
|
|||
|
* Segments for each shard the exact cardinality for each measurement in the shard.
|
|||
|
* Optionally limits the results in each shard to the "top n".
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The `reporttsi` command is primarily useful when there has been a change in cardinality
|
|||
|
and it's not clear which measurement is responsible for this change, and further, _when_
|
|||
|
that change happened. Estimating an accurate cardinality breakdown for each measurement
|
|||
|
and for each shard will help answer those questions.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Syntax
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
influx_inspect reporttsi -db-path <path-to-db> [ options ]
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
#### Options
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Optional arguments are in brackets.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
##### `-db-path <path-to-db>`
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The path to the database.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
##### [ `-top <n>` ]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Limits the results to the top specified number within each shard.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
#### Performance
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The `reporttsi` command uses simple slice/maps to store low cardinality measurements, which saves on the cost of initializing bitmaps.
|
|||
|
For high cardinality measurements the tool uses [roaring bitmaps](https://roaringbitmap.org/), which means we don't need to store all series IDs on the heap while running the tool.
|
|||
|
Conversion from low-cardinality to high-cardinality representations is done automatically while the tool runs.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|
##### [ `-vvv` ]

|
|||
|
## Caveats
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The system does not have access to the metastore when exporting TSM shards.
|
|||
|
As such, it always creates the [retention policy](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/concepts/glossary/#retention-policy-rp) with infinite duration and replication factor of 1. End users may want to change this prior to reimporting if they are importing to a cluster or want a different duration
|
|||
|
for retention.
