To retrieve TiDB cluster metrics and slow query logs, you can query PingCAP Clinic REST APIs using shell and Python helper utilities. This provides a scriptable interface to fetch Prometheus metrics, Loki logs, and TopSQL aggregates for performance diagnosis.
Yes, you can download continuous profiling data and OOM diagnostic records from TiDB Cloud. The skill queries Clinic REST APIs to retrieve NGM diagnostic bundles, including plan replayer and pprof data, for offline analysis of latency hotspots or out-of-memory events.
You need curl, jq, and python3 installed to run PingCAP Clinic API queries. These dependencies support the shell and Python helper utilities used to query cluster metadata, metrics, logs, and diagnostic artifacts across Dev, Staging, and Production environments.
Yes, fetching cluster topology supports Dedicated, Premium, and BYOC TiDB clusters. It retrieves cluster details, node counts, CPU and memory specs, and storage configuration by querying standardized Clinic REST endpoints using internal API key authentication.
Using a scriptable interface eliminates the need to manually navigate multiple Clinic UI pages or write ad-hoc curl commands. It provides a unified way to gather cluster observability data, streamlining the investigation of TiDB performance incidents like slow queries and OOM events.
You need internal API key authentication to access TiDB diagnostics whenever querying PingCAP Clinic REST APIs for metadata, metrics, logs, or profiling data. This authentication is required across all supported Dev, Staging, and Production environments.
