Etcd: Is there a viewer to lookup data inside etcd snapshot?

[sridhav]

As etcd3 uses boltdb internally, is it possible if we can use boltdb browsers/any viewer to lookup the data inside the snapshot?

Yes you can use bbolt tool. https://github.com/etcd-io/bbolt/tree/master/cmd/bbolt

@jingyih I tried using that, but am unable to lookup by etcd key name, all keys are in hexadecimal format. Looks like etcd keys are stored inside the values of bolt key. Can you suggest some documentation on how to use this bbolt viewer?

Could you also try this tool?

If your etcd stores kubernetes data, this tool is very useful: https://github.com/jpbetz/auger

Another tool to view Kubernetes data is to mount it to your local filesystem, and do whatever you want: etcdfs.
