Their repositories have been archived and are no longer receiving updates. Use the following tools to work with InfluxDB Enterprise: ### [Use the InfluxDB documentation MCP server](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/tools/mcp-server/) Query InfluxDB Enterprise v1 documentation from your IDE using the InfluxDB documentation Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. ### [influx - InfluxDB command line interface](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/tools/influx-cli/) 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. ## Usage ``` influx [flags] ``` ## Flags | Flag | Description | |--------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `-version` | Display the version and exit | |`-url-prefix` | Path to add to the URL after the host and port. Specifies a custom endpoint to connect to. | | `-host` | HTTP address of InfluxDB (default: `http://localhost:8086`) | | `-port` | Port to connect to | | `-socket` | Unix socket to connect to | | `-database` | Database to connect to the server | | `-password` |Password to connect to the server. Leaving blank will prompt for password (`--password ''`).| | `-username` | Username to connect to the server | | `-ssl` | Use https for requests | | `-unsafessl` | Set this when connecting to the cluster using https | | `-execute` | Execute command and quit | | `-format` | Specify the format of the server responses: json, csv, or column | | `-precision` | Specify the format of the timestamp: rfc3339, h, m, s, ms, u or ns | |`-consistency`| Set write consistency level: any, one, quorum, or all | | `-pretty` | Turns on pretty print for JSON format | | `-import` | Import a previous database export from file | | `-pps` |Points per second the import will allow. The default is `0` and will not throttle importing.| | `-path` | Path to file to import | |`-compressed` | Set to true if the import file is compressed | ```

Use influx - InfluxDB command line interface

InfluxDB’s command line interface (influx) is an interactive shell for the HTTP API.

``` ### [Influx Inspect disk utility](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/tools/influx_inspect/) Use the `influx_inspect` commands to manage InfluxDB disks and shards. ### [influxd - InfluxDB daemon](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/tools/influxd/) The influxd daemon starts and runs all the processes necessary for InfluxDB to function. ### [influxd-ctl CLI](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/tools/influxd-ctl/) Use the `influxd-ctl` CLI to manage your InfluxDB Enterprise v1 cluster. ### [InfluxDB client libraries](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/tools/api_client_libraries/) InfluxDB client libraries includes support for Arduino, C#, C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, and Ruby. ### [InfluxDB inch tool](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/tools/inch/) 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 v1](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/tools/grafana/) Configure Grafana to query and visualize data from InfluxDB Enterprise v1. ## InfluxDB open source tools Tools built for InfluxDB OSS v1.8+ also work with InfluxDB v1 Enterprise. For more information, see [InfluxDB tools](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/tools/). | Flag | Description | | --- | --- | | Flag | Description | | -version | Display the version and exit | | -url-prefix | Path to add to the URL after the host and port.
