If you do not have a CLI configuration set up or the environment variables set, include these required credentials for each command with the following flags:

Update a schema using the influx CLI
influx bucket-schema update \
--bucket example-bucket \
--name temperature \
--columns-file columns.csv
Update a schema and print column information
influx bucket-schema update \

Update a schema with columns format
By default, InfluxDB attempts to detect the columns file format.
If your file’s extension doesn’t match the format, set the format with the columns-format flag.
influx bucket-schema update \
--bucket example-bucket \
--name cpu \
--columns-file columns.json \
--columns-format ndjson
influx bucket-schema update \
--bucket example-bucket \
--name cpu \
--columns-file columns.txt \
--columns-format csv
