Tools
This section provides detailed explanations of the functions and usage of the main tools in TDengine.
📄️ TSDB CLI
The TDengine command line program (hereinafter referred to as TDengine CLI) is the simplest and most commonly used tool for users to operate and interact with TDengine instances. It requires the installation of either the TDengine Server package or the TDengine Client package before use.
📄️ TSDB MCP
mcp-tdengine-tsdb (MCP Server for TDengine TSDB) provides a complete set of tools for querying, managing, and monitoring TDengine time-series databases.
📄️ taosdump
taosdump is a high-performance backup and restore tool provided by TDengine TSDB. It stores backup data in a highly compressed columnar format and supports full backup, database-level backup, table-level backup, time-range backup, metadata-only backup, and resumable execution for a wide range of data protection and migration scenarios.
📄️ taosBenchmark
TaosBenchmark is a performance benchmarking tool for TDengine products, providing insertion, query, and subscription performance testing for TDengine products, and outputting performance indicators.
📄️ taosgen
taosgen is a performance benchmarking tool for time-series data products, supporting data generation, write performance testing, and more. taosgen uses "jobs" as the basic unit, where a job is user-defined and consists of a set of operations to accomplish a specific task. Each job contains one or more steps and can be connected to other jobs via dependencies, forming a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) execution flow for flexible and efficient task orchestration.
