Access debugging and profiling endpoints for troubleshooting and performance analysis of an InfluxDB v1 instance.

GET `/debug/pprof`

### Get profiling index

Returns an HTML page listing available Go pprof profiles. Use the individual profile endpoints to retrieve specific profile data.

Example request [Ask AI about this](#)

```sh
curl --request GET \
  "http://localhost:8086/debug/pprof" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer INFLUX_TOKEN"
```

#### Responses

200 HTML page with profile links

GET `/debug/pprof/{profile}`

### Get profile data

Retrieve a specific Go pprof profile. Available profiles:

-   `block`: Stack traces that led to blocking on synchronization primitives
-   `goroutine`: Stack traces of all current goroutines
-   `heap`: Sampling of stack traces for heap allocations
-   `mutex`: Stack traces of holders of contended mutexes
-   `threadcreate`: Stack traces that led to creation of new OS threads
-   `profile`: CPU profile (use `seconds` parameter to specify duration)
-   `trace`: Execution trace (use `seconds` parameter to specify duration)

#### Parameters

##### Path parameters

`profile` required string

Profile name

Allowed values: `block` , `goroutine` , `heap` , `mutex` , `threadcreate` , `profile` , `trace` , `allocs` , `cmdline`

##### Query parameters

`seconds` integer

Duration in seconds for CPU profile or trace

Default: `30`

`debug` integer

Return human-readable text output instead of binary

Allowed values: `0` , `1`

```sh
curl --request GET \
  "http://localhost:8086/debug/pprof/{profile}" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer INFLUX_TOKEN"
```

#### Responses

200 Profile data

GET `/debug/pprof/all`

### Get all profiles archive

Generate a `profiles.tar.gz` archive containing all standard Go profiling information and additional debugging data. Intended primarily for use by InfluxData support.

Use the `cpu` parameter to include a CPU profile of the specified duration.

#### Parameters

##### Query parameters

`cpu` string

Duration for CPU profile. Specify as a duration string (e.g., `30s`). For InfluxDB 1.8.3 and earlier, use `cpu=true`.

```

#### Responses

200 Compressed archive containing all profiles

GET `/debug/requests`

### Track HTTP requests

Track HTTP client requests to the `/write` and `/query` endpoints. Returns the number of writes and queries per username and IP address over the specified time interval.

#### Parameters

##### Query parameters

`seconds` integer

Duration in seconds to collect request data

Default: `10`

```sh
curl --request GET \
  "http://localhost:8086/debug/requests" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer INFLUX_TOKEN"
```

#### Responses

200 Request statistics by user and IP

GET `/debug/vars`

### Get server statistics

Retrieve runtime statistics and information about the InfluxDB instance. Returns detailed metrics in JSON format including memory usage, goroutine counts, and database statistics.

The [InfluxDB Telegraf input plugin](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/influxdb) can collect these metrics automatically.
