50 Tools

Influx Inspect is an InfluxDB disk utility that can be used to:

  • View detailed information about disk shards.
  • Exporting data from a shard to line protocol that can be inserted back into the database.
  • Converting TSM index shards to TSI 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: Convert in-memory (TSM-based) shards to TSI
  • deletetsm: Bulk deletes a measurement from a raw TSM file.
  • dumptsi: Dump low-level details about TSI files.
  • dumptsm: Dump low-level details about TSM files.
  • export: Export raw data from a shard in Line Protocol format.
  • report: Display a shard level report.
  • verify: Verify the integrity of TSM files.

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.

[ -database <db_name> ]

The name of the database.

-datadir <data_dir>

The path to the data directory.

[ -retention <rp_name> ]

The name of the retention policy.

[ -shard <shard_ID> ]

The identifier of the shard.

[ -v ]

Enable output in verbose mode.

-waldir <wal_dir>

The directory for the WAL (Write Ahead Log) files.

Examples

Converting all shards on a node
$ influx_inspect buildtsi -datadir ~/.influxdb/data -waldir ~/.influxdb/wal
Converting all shards for a database
$ influx_inspect buildtsi -database mydb -datadir ~/.influxdb/data -waldir ~/.influxdb/wal
Converting a specific shard
$ influx_inspect buildtsi -database stress -shard 1 -datadir ~/.influxdb/data -waldir ~/.influxdb/wal

deletetsm

Bulk deletes a measurement from a raw TSM file.

{{% warn %}} Warning: Use the deletetsm command only when your InfluxDB instance is offline (influxd service is not running). {{% /warn %}}

Syntax

influx_inspect deletetsm -measurement <measurement_name> [ arguments ] <path>
<path>

Path to the .tsm file, located by default in the data directory.

When specifying the path, wildcards (*) can replace one or more characters.

Examples

Single shard:

./influx_inspect deletetsm -sanitize /influxdb/data/location/autogen/1384/*.tsm

All shards in the database:

./influx_inspect deletetsm -sanitize /influxdb/data/location/autogen/*/*.tsm

Arguments

Optional arguments are in brackets.

-measurement

The name of the measurement to delete from TSM files.

[ -sanitize ]

Flag to remove all keys containing non-printable Unicode characters.

[ -v ]

Flag to enable verbose logging.

dumptsi

Dumps low-level details about TSI files, including .tsl log files and .tsi index files.

Syntax

influx_inspect dumptsi [ options ] <index_path>

If no options are specified, summary statistics are provided for each file.

Options

Optional arguments are in brackets.

-series-file <series_path>

Path to the _series directory under the database data directory. Required.

[ -series ]

Dump raw series data.

[ -measurements ]

Dump raw measurement data.

[ -tag-keys ]

Dump raw tag keys.

[ -tag-values ]

Dump raw tag values.

[ -tag-value-series ]

Dump raw series for each tag value.

[ -measurement-filter <regular_expression> ]

Filter data by measurement regular expression.

[ -tag-key-filter <regular_expression> ]

Filter data by tag key regular expression.

[ -tag-value-filter <regular_expresssion> ]

Filter data by tag value regular expression.

Examples

Specifying paths to the _series and index directories
$ influx_inspect dumptsi -series-file /path/to/db/_series /path/to/index
Specifying paths to the _series directory and an index file**
$ influx_inspect dumptsi -series-file /path/to/db/_series /path/to/index/file0

Specifying paths to the _series directory and multiple index files

$ influx_inspect dumptsi -series-file /path/to/db/_series /path/to/index/file0 /path/to/index/file1 ...

dumptsm

Dumps low-level details about TSM files, including TSM (.tsm) files and WAL (.wal) files.

Syntax

influx_inspect dumptsm [ options ] <path>
<path>

Path to the .tsm file, located by default in the data directory.

Options

Optional arguments are in brackets.

[ -index ]

Flag to dump raw index data. Default value is false.

[ -blocks ]

Flag to dump raw block data. Default value is false.

[ -all ]

Flag to dump all data. Caution: This may print a lot of information. Default value is false.

[ -filter-key <key_name> ]

Display only index data and block data that match this key substring. Default value is "".

export

Exports all TSM files in Line Protocol format. This output file can be imported using the influx command.

Syntax

influx_inspect export [ options ]

Options

Optional arguments are in brackets.

[ -compress ]

The flag to compress the output. Default value is false.

[ -database <db_name> ]

The name of the database to export. Default value is "".

-datadir <data_dir>

The path to the data directory. Default value is "$HOME/.influxdb/data".

[ -end <timestamp> ]

The timestamp for the end of the time range. The timestamp string must be in RFC3339 format.

[ -out <export_dir> ]

The location for the export file. Default value is "$HOME/.influxdb/export".

[ -retention <rp_name> ]

The name of the retention policy to export. Default value is "".

[ -start <timestamp> ]

The timestamp for the start of the time range. The timestamp string must be in RFC3339 format.

[ -waldir <wal_dir> ]

Path to the write-ahead log (WAL). Default value is "$HOME/.influxdb/wal".

Examples

influx_inspect export -compress
Export data from a specific database and retention policy
influx_inspect export -database mydb -retention autogen

CREATE DATABASE MY_DB_NAME
CREATE RETENTION POLICY autogen ON MY_DB_NAME DURATION inf REPLICATION 1

# DML
# CONTEXT-DATABASE:MY_DB_NAME
# CONTEXT-RETENTION-POLICY:autogen

Optional arguments are in brackets.

-dir <storage_root>

The path to the storage root directory. ​Default value is "/root/.influxdb".

Caveats

The system does not have access to the metastore when exporting TSM shards. As such, it always creates the retention policy 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.
