Inspect TSI indexes

API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade.

For more information, see Token hashing.

Use the influxd inspect command to inspect the InfluxDB time series index (TSI).

Output information about TSI index files

Use the influxd inspect dump-tsi command to output low-level details about TSI index (tsi1) files.

Provide the following:

influxd inspect dump-tsi \
  --series-file ~/.influxdbv2/engine/data/056d83f962a08461/_series \
  ~/.influxdbv2/engine/data/056d83f962a08461/autogen/1023/index

View example output

Output raw series data stored in the index

To output raw series data stored in index files, include the --series flag with the influxd inspect dump-tsi command:

influxd inspect dump-tsi \
  --series \
  --series-file ~/.influxdbv2/engine/data/056d83f962a08461/_series \
  ~/.influxdbv2/engine/data/056d83f962a08461/autogen/1023/index

Output measurement data stored in the index

To output measurement information stored in index files, include the --measurement flag with the influxd inspect dump-tsi command:

influxd inspect dump-tsi \
  --measurements \
  --series-file ~/.influxdbv2/engine/data/056d83f962a08461/_series \
  ~/.influxdbv2/engine/data/056d83f962a08461/autogen/1023/index

Export TSI index data as SQL

Use the influxd inspect export-index command to export an index in SQL format for easier inspection and debugging. Provide the following:

influxd inspect export-index \
  --series-path ~/.influxdbv2/engine/data/056d83f962a08461/_series \
  --index-path ~/.influxdbv2/engine/data/056d83f962a08461/autogen/1023/index

Report the cardinality of TSI files

Use the influxd inspect report-tsi command to output information about the cardinality of data in a bucket’s index. Provide the following:

  • --bucket-id with the ID of the bucket.
influxd inspect report-tsi --bucket-id 056d83f962a08461
