Works with InfluxDB OSS 2.x

The influx org create command works with InfluxDB OSS 2.x, but does not work with InfluxDB Cloud. New organizations are created for each new InfluxDB account. For information about creating an InfluxDB Cloud account, see sign up for InfluxDB Cloud.

The influx org create creates an organization in InfluxDB.

  • -t, --token: InfluxDB API token
