This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB. InfluxDB v1.8 is the latest stable version. View this page in the v1.8 documentation.
This section covers the available tools for interacting with InfluxDB.
CLI/Shell
InfluxDB’s Command Line Interface (influx) is an interactive shell for the
HTTP API that comes with every InfluxDB package.
Use influx to write data (manually or from a file), query data interactively,
and view query output in different formats:

Influx Inspect
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.
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.
