vtctld

The Vitess Admin GUI

vtctld is a webserver interface to administer a Vitess cluster. It is usually the first Vitess component to be started after a valid global topology service has been created.

Example Usage #

The following example launches the vtctld daemon on port 15000:

export TOPOLOGY_FLAGS="-topo_implementation etcd2 -topo_global_server_address localhost:2379 -topo_global_root /vitess/global"
export VTDATAROOT="/tmp"
