📦 version 1.11.6, in opensuse-leap 16.0

👑 INFLUXD — like, the main character of InfluxDB

okay so bestie, welcome to influxd(1) 💅 this is the InfluxDB server daemon man page, and yes it's short, but it's iconic and it runs your whole database so pls give it the respect it deserves ✨

✨ NAME ✨

influxd — the InfluxDB server daemon 🫶 that's it, that's the name.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

influxd [command] [options]

that's the whole vibe — a command, maybe some options, go off 🎀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so real talk: influxd is the server daemon for InfluxDB. literally the beating heart of the whole operation 💖 it's the thing humming along in the background so your data has somewhere cute to live 🦋

🎀 COMMANDS 🎀

these are the commands you can invoke using the influxd program, and here's the tea ☕ — if you skip the command parameter entirely, it just defaults to run. no note, no problem, she knew what you meant 💅

  • backup — downloads a snapshot of a data node and saves it to disk 📦 like a little time capsule for your data, no cap.
  • config — displays the default configuration 🌈 and get this, it can also read an existing configuration file and output the default values for any missing fields. and like, default values and existing entries in a configuration file can be customized through environment variables?? the flexibility is giving main character energy fr fr ✨
  • restore — uses backups to restore the metastore, databases, retention policies, or specific shards 💾 but important: the InfluxDB process must not be running during a restore. like, do not. seriously. 😭
  • run — runs the InfluxDB server 👑 this is the default command if none is specified, so if you're just out here typing influxd with no plan, this is what you get, and honestly? slay.
  • version — displays the InfluxDB version, build branch, and git commit hash 🏷️ it's the "who am I" moment, and it ate.
