Influx Inspect disk shard utility

Influx Inspect is a tool designed to view detailed information about on disk shards, as well as export data from a shard to line protocol that can be inserted back into the database.

Grafana graphs and dashboards

Grafana is a convenient dashboard tool for visualizing time series data. It was originally built for Graphite, modeled after Kibana, and since been updated to support InfluxDB.

{{% warn %}} Because of the changes to the SHOW SERIES and SHOW TAG VALUES formats in InfluxDB 0.11, InfluxDB 1.3+ will not work with the Query Editor in Grafana 2.6. This issue does not affect existing queries and dashboards or users working with Grafana 3.0. {{% /warn %}}
