Show information about Last Value Caches

Use the influxdb3 show system table command to query and output Last Value Cache information from the last_caches system table.

influxdb3 show system \
  --database 
DATABASE_NAME
\
--token
AUTH_TOKEN
\
table last_caches

This returns a table similar to the following:

tablenamekey_column_idskey_column_namesvalue_column_idsvalue_column_namescountttl
weatherweather_last[0][location][2, 3, 4, 5, 1][precip, temp_avg, temp_max, temp_min, wind_avg]186400
bitcoinbitcoin_last[0, 1][code, crypto][4][price]114400
numbersnumbers_last[][][0, 1][a, b]514400
homehome_last[0][room][1, 2, 3][temp, hum, co]560

Query specific columns from the last_caches system table

Use the --select option to query specific columns from the last_caches system table. Provide a comma-delimited list of columns to return:

influxdb3 show system \
  --database 
DATABASE_NAME
\
--token
AUTH_TOKEN
\
table last_caches \ --select name,key_column_names,value_column_names

Sort last_caches system table output

Use the --order-by option to sort data from the last_caches system table by specific columns. Provide a comma-delimited list of columns to sort by:

influxdb3 show system \
  --database 
DATABASE_NAME
\
--token
AUTH_TOKEN
\
table last_caches \ --order-by table,ttl

Results are sorted in ascending order based on the provided columns.

In the examples above, replace the following:

  • DATABASE_NAME: the name of the database to query system data from

  • AUTH_TOKEN: your InfluxDB 3 Enterprise admin

    authentication token

Use the HTTP API

To use the HTTP API to query and output cache information from the system table, send a GET or POST request to the /api/v3/query_sql endpoint.

GET /api/v3/query_sql
POST /api/v3/query_sql

Query all last value caches

curl -X POST "https://localhost:8181/api/v3/query_sql" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer 
AUTH_TOKEN
"
\
--json '{ "db": "
DATABASE_NAME
",
"q": "SELECT * FROM system.last_caches", "format": "json" }'

Query specific cache details

curl -X POST "https://localhost:8181/api/v3/query_sql" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer 
AUTH_TOKEN
"
\
--json '{ "db": "
DATABASE_NAME
",
"q": "SELECT * FROM system.last_caches WHERE name = '\''
CACHE_NAME
'
\''",
"format": "json" }'
