Get shard Manifest without backup (field type conflict problem)

InfluxDB 2

Hi

Running InfluxDB 2.7 in a container

I’m having trouble some times getting a field type conflict when starting up. it’s an annoying problem but I’m willing to live with it by deleting and writing the data as it’s a possibility for me.

The problem I have is that I know the shard number, the measurement name, but I don’t know the date of that shard.
I know a manifest file is generated when the whole bucket it backed up, but that’s a lot of data and takes a long time just to get a small text file.
I know where the shard is located, but I couldn’t figure out how to determine it’s date range.
I also fail to get the shard date using InfluxQL because the DB was set to work with flux (or at least I think its the reason)

How can I determine the shard date?

Thanks in advance,
David

Hello @DavidHy
This documentation might be helpful

I don’t know how to look at shards dates.
@scott do you know?

@DavidHy You should be able to get that information with influxd inspect report-tsm.

Thanks @scott !!

I think what I’ve missed is the DB not being in the default location in my docker image.

Thats very helpful.
