influx v1 auth set-active

Not supported in InfluxDB Cloud

InfluxDB Cloud does not support InfluxDB 1.x compatible authorizations. Using the influx v1 auth set-active command with InfluxDB Cloud will result in an error. To authenticate with InfluxDB Cloud, use InfluxDB token authentication.

The influx v1 auth set-active command activates an authorization in the InfluxDB 1.x compatibility API. Only active authorizations grant access to InfluxDB.

Usage

influx v1 auth set-active [flags]

Flags

Flag Description Input type Maps to ?
-c --active-config Config name to use for command string $INFLUX_ACTIVE_CONFIG
--configs-path Path to the influx CLI configurations (default: ~/.influxdbv2/configs) string $INFLUX_CONFIGS_PATH
-h --help Help for the set-active command
--hide-headers Hide the table headers (default: false) $INFLUX_HIDE_HEADERS
--host (Required) HTTP address of InfluxDB string $INFLUX_HOST
-i --id Authorization ID string
--json Output data as JSON (default: false) $INFLUX_OUTPUT_JSON
--skip-verify Skip TLS certificate verification INFLUX_SKIP_VERIFY
-t --token API token string $INFLUX_TOKEN
--username Authorization username string $INFLUX_USERNAME

Examples

Authentication credentials

The examples below assume your InfluxDB host, organization, and token are provided by either the active influx CLI configuration or by environment variables (INFLUX_HOST, INFLUX_ORG, and INFLUX_TOKEN). 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:

  • --host: InfluxDB host
  • -o, --org or --org-id: InfluxDB organization name or ID
  • -t, --token: InfluxDB API token
Activate a v1 authorization
influx v1 auth set-active --id 00xX00o0X001
