InfluxDB Enterprise tools
Use the following tools to work with InfluxDB Enterprise:
Use the Flux VS Code extension
The Flux Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension provides Flux syntax highlighting, autocompletion, and a direct InfluxDB OSS server integration that lets you run Flux scripts natively and show results in VS Code.
influx - InfluxDB command line interface
The influx command line interface (CLI) provides an interactive shell for the HTTP API associated with influxd.
It includes commands for writing and querying data, and managing many aspects of InfluxDB, including databases, organizations, and users.

Influx Inspect disk utility
Use the influx_inspect commands to manage InfluxDB disks and shards.
influxd - InfluxDB daemon
The influxd daemon starts and runs all the processes necessary for InfluxDB to function.
influxd-ctl CLI
Use the influxd-ctl CLI to manage your InfluxDB Enterprise cluster.
InfluxDB API reference
Use the InfluxDB API endpoints to run queries, write data, check server status, and troubleshoot by tracking HTTP client requests, collecting server statistics, and using Go “pprof” profiles.
InfluxDB client libraries
InfluxDB client libraries includes support for Arduino, C#, C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, and Ruby.
InfluxDB inch tool
Use the InfluxDB inch tool to test InfluxDB performance. Adjust the number of points and tag values to test ingesting different tag cardinalities.
Use Grafana with InfluxDB Enterprise
Configure Grafana to query and visualize data from InfluxDB Enterprise v1.8.
InfluxDB open source tools
Tools built for InfluxDB OSS v1.8 also work with InfluxDB Enterprise v1.8. For more information, see InfluxDB tools.
