InfluxDB使用说明

操作系统 ： CentOS7.3.1611_x64

go语言版本：1.8.3 linux/amd64

InfluxDB版本：1.1.0

安装InfluxDB之后，在/usr/bin下会有如下几个文件：

influxd          influxdb服务器
influx           influxdb命令行客户端
influx_inspect   查看工具
influx_stress    压力测试工具
influx_tsm       数据库转换工具（将数据库从b1或bz1格式转换为tsm1格式）

下面简单介绍下各个工具的使用。

influxd使用方法介绍

该可执行文件为InfluxDB服务器程序，参数说明如下：

[root@localhost ~]# influxd --help
Configure and start an InfluxDB server.

Usage: influxd [[command] [arguments]]

The commands are:

    backup               downloads a snapshot of a data node and saves it to disk
    config               display the default configuration
    help                 display this help message
    restore              uses a snapshot of a data node to rebuild a cluster
    run                  run node with existing configuration
    version              displays the InfluxDB version

"run" is the default command.

Use "influxd [command] -help" for more information about a command.

• backup参数

数据备份功能，参数如下：

[root@localhost ~]# influxd backup --help
Downloads a snapshot of a data node and saves it to disk.

Usage: influxd backup [flags] PATH

    -host <host:port>
            The host to connect to snapshot. Defaults to 127.0.0.1:8088.
    -database <name>
            The database to backup.
    -retention <name>
            Optional. The retention policy to backup.
    -shard <id>
            Optional. The shard id to backup. If specified, retention is required.
    -since <2015-12-24T08:12:23Z>
            Optional. Do an incremental backup since the passed in RFC3339
            formatted time.

backup: flag: help requested

• config参数

显示InfluxDB默认参数，使用示例 ：

influxd backup -host 127.0.0.1:8088 -database mydb -since 2015-12-24T08:12:23Z back1

其中，mydb为数据库名称，back1为备份文件夹。

• help参数

显示帮助信息，使用示例 ：influxd help

• restore参数

数据恢复功能，使用该功能时，InfluxDB应当关闭。参数如下：

[root@localhost ~]# influxd restore --help
Uses backups from the PATH to restore the metastore, databases,
retention policies, or specific shards. The InfluxDB process must not be
running during a restore.

Usage: influxd restore [flags] PATH

    -metadir <path>
            Optional. If set the metastore will be recovered to the given path.
    -datadir <path>
            Optional. If set the restore process will recover the specified
            database, retention policy or shard to the given directory.
    -database <name>
            Optional. Required if no metadir given. Will restore the database
            TSM files.
    -retention <name>
            Optional. If given, database is required. Will restore the retention policy's
            TSM files.
    -shard <id>
            Optional. If given, database and retention are required. Will restore the shard's
            TSM files.

restore: flag: help requested

使用示例：

influxd restore -database mydb -metadir /var/lib/influxdb/meta  -datadir /var/lib/influxdb/data/ back1

其中，mydb为数据库名称，back1为之前备份数据的文件夹，/var/lib/influxdb/meta为InfluxDB的meta文件夹，/var/lib/influxdb/data/为InfluxDB的data文件夹。

• run参数

run为默认参数，在控制台直接输入 influxd 命令，实际上执行的是： influxd run

默认配置为INFLUXDB_CONFIG_PATH环境变量设置的的路径，或者~/.influxdb/influxdb.conf，或者 /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf

参数说明如下：

[root@localhost tsdbBin]# influxd run --help
Runs the InfluxDB server.

Usage: influxd run [flags]

    -config <path>
            Set the path to the configuration file.
            This defaults to the environment variable INFLUXDB_CONFIG_PATH,
            ~/.influxdb/influxdb.conf, or /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf if a file
            is present at any of these locations.
            Disable the automatic loading of a configuration file using
            the null device (such as /dev/null).
    -pidfile <path>
            Write process ID to a file.
    -cpuprofile <path>
            Write CPU profiling information to a file.
    -memprofile <path>
            Write memory usage information to a file.

run: flag: help requested

使用示例 ：

influxd run -config default.conf ： 使用default.conf中的配置启动InfluxDB

influxd run -pidfile /tmp/test1.pid : 启动InfluxDB并在/tmp/test1.pid文件中写入pid

cpuprofile和memprofile用于InfluxDB性能分析时使用

• version参数

显示版本信息，使用示例：influxd version

influx使用方法介绍

influx_stress使用方法介绍

该可执行文件为InfluxDB压力测试工具，参数如下：

[root@localhost ~]# influx_stress --help
Usage of influx_stress:
  -addr string
        IP address and port of database where response times will persist (e.g., localhost:8086) (default "http://localhost:8086")
  -config string
        The stress test file
  -cpuprofile filename
        Write the cpu profile to filename
  -database string
        name of database where the response times will persist (default "stress")
  -db string
        target database within test system for write and query load
  -retention-policy string
        name of the retention policy where the response times will persist
  -tags value
        A comma seperated list of tags
  -v2
        Use version 2 of stress tool
[root@localhost ~]#

直接执行influx_stress命令即可启动压力测试，会在本地InfluxDB自动创建名叫stress的数据库，并向里面写数据。

influx_tsm使用方法介绍

该可执行文件为InfluxDB数据库转换工具（将数据库从b1或bz1格式转换为tsm1格式，其中b1 和 bz1 为InfluxDB 0.9版中使用过的存储引擎格式），属于InfluxDB版本兼容系列的内容。

使用该工具时，InfluxDB应该处于关闭状态。

参数如下：

[root@localhost ~]# influx_tsm --help
Usage: influx_tsm [options] <data-path>

Convert a database from b1 or bz1 format to tsm1 format.

This tool will backup the directories before conversion (if not disabled).
The backed-up files must be removed manually, generally after starting up the
node again to make sure all of data has been converted correctly.

To restore a backup:
  Shut down the node, remove the converted directory, and
  copy the backed-up directory to the original location.

Options:
  -backup string
        The location to backup up the current databases. Must not be within the data directory.
  -dbs string
        Comma-delimited list of databases to convert. Default is to convert all databases.
  -debug string
        If set, http debugging endpoints will be enabled on the given address
  -interval duration
        How often status updates are printed. (default 5s)
  -nobackup
        Disable database backups. Not recommended.
  -parallel
        Perform parallel conversion. (up to GOMAXPROCS shards at once)
  -profile string
        CPU Profile location
  -sz uint
        Maximum size of individual TSM files. (default 2147483648)
  -y    Don't ask, just convert

[root@localhost ~]#

好，就这些了，希望对你有帮助。
