influx - InfluxDB command line interface

The influx command line interface (CLI) includes commands to manage many aspects of InfluxDB, including buckets, organizations, users, tasks, etc.

Usage

influx [flags]
influx [command]

Set your credentials

1. To avoid having to pass your InfluxDB authentication token with each influx command, set up a configuration profile if you haven’t already.
2. To see if you have a configuration profile, run influx config. If nothing is displayed, you don’t have a configuration profile.

3. To configure a profile, in a terminal, run the following command:

   # Set up a configuration profile
   influx config create -n default \
    -u http://localhost:8086 \
    -o example-org \
    -t mySuP3rS3cr3tT0keN \
    -a

This configures a new profile named default and makes the profile active so commands run against this instance. For more detail, see influx config.

Commands

Mapped environment variables

Some influx CLI flags are mapped to environment variables. Mapped flags get the value of the environment variable. To override environment variables, set the flag explicitly in your command.
