List tables
Use the Admin UI, the influxctl table list command,
the SHOW TABLES SQL statement,
or the SHOW MEASUREMENTS InfluxQL statement
to list tables in a database.
With InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated, tables and measurements are synonymous.
The InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated administrative UI includes a portal for managing tables. You can view the list of tables associated with a database and their details.
Access the InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated Admin UI at console.influxdata.com. If you don’t have login credentials, contact InfluxData support.
Use the Tables page to manage tables within databases:
- Select a database from the dropdown to view its tables.
- View table IDs and sizes.
- See database size summary.
- Create new tables.
- Access detailed table schema information.
You can Search for tables by name or ID to filter the list and use the sort button and column headers to sort the list.
Use the influxctl table list command
to list all tables in a database in your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster.
influxctl table list DATABASE_NAMEReplace the following:
DATABASE_NAME: Name of the database containing the tables to list

The influxctl table list command supports the following output formats:
table(default): Human-readable table formatjson: JSON format for programmatic use
