Option environment variables

You can use the following environment variables to set command options:

Output

The command displays the following information for each node:

• node_id: The unique identifier for the node
• node_catalog_id: The internal catalog identifier
• instance_id: The unique instance identifier
• mode: The node’s operating modes (ingest, query, process, compact)
• core_count: Number of CPU cores allocated to the node
• state: Current node state (running or stopped)
• updated_at: Timestamp of the last update
• cli_params: Command-line parameters used to start the node

Examples

• List all nodes in pretty format
• List nodes in JSON format
• Export nodes data to Parquet format
• List nodes on a remote server

List all nodes in pretty format

influxdb3 show nodes

List nodes in JSON format

influxdb3 show nodes --format json

The output is similar to the following:

[
  {
    "node_id": "node-1",
    "node_catalog_id": 0,
    "instance_id": "e38944e4-1204-4bb4-92f3-71138894d674",
    "mode": [
      "ingest"
    ],
    "core_count": 1,
    "state": "running",
    "updated_at": "2025-09-04T10:15:57.126",
    "cli_params": "{\"http-bind\":\"127.0.0.1:8181\",\"node-id\":\"node-1\",\"data-dir\":\"/path/to/data\",\"object-store\":\"file\",\"mode\":\"ingest\"}"
  },
  {
    "node_id": "node-2",
    "node_catalog_id": 1,
    "instance_id": "f5418c97-eb6d-47b5-8176-efc0ad7b882e",
    "mode": [
      "ingest"
    ],
    "core_count": 1,
    "state": "stopped",
    "updated_at": "2025-09-04T10:16:57.503",
    "cli_params": "{\"http-bind\":\"127.0.0.1:8182\",\"node-id\":\"node-2\",\"data-dir\":\"/path/to/data\",\"object-store\":\"file\",\"mode\":\"ingest\"}"
  }
]

Export nodes data to Parquet format

Parquet is a binary format. Use the --output option to specify the file where you want to save the Parquet data.

influxdb3 show nodes \
  --format parquet \
  --output nodes-data.parquet

List nodes on a remote server

influxdb3 show nodes \
  --host 
INFLUXDB_HOST
 \
  --token 
AUTH_TOKEN

Replace the following:

• AUTH_TOKEN: Authentication token with sufficient privileges
• INFLUXDB_HOST: Host URL of the running InfluxDB 3 Enterprise server
