+1. Get all metrics of Pump
+
+    ```shell
+    curl http://{PumpIP}:8250/metrics
+    ```
+
+1. Get the status of all drainers
+
+    ```shell
+    curl http://{PumpIP}:8250/drainers
+    ```
+
+    ```shell
+    $curl http://127.0.0.1:8250/drainers
+
+   [
+       {
+           "nodeId":"ip-172-16-5-70:8249",

+   ]
+    ```
+1. Change the Pump status
+
+    `NodeID` is the node id of the Pump server. `Action` is the action to execute[possible values: `pause`, `close`].
+    `pause` is equivalent to `pause-pump` in [binlogctl](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb-binlog/tree/master/binlogctl), `close` is equivalent to `offline-pump` in [binlogctl](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb-binlog/tree/master/binlogctl).
+    
+    ```shell
+    curl -X PUT http://{PumpIP}:8250/state/{NodeID}/{Action}
+    ```
+
+    ```shell
+    $curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:8250/state/ip-172-16-5-71:8250/stop

+    }
+    ```
+   
+1. Get the binlog by TS
+
+   ```shell
+    curl http://{PumpIP}:8250/debug/binlog/{ts}
+   ```
+   
+   ```shell
+   $curl http://127.0.0.1:8250/debug/binlog/412518831548007863
