Example

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

Update a remote

  1. Use influx remote list to get the ID for the remote you want to update. 
    $ influx remote list
ID			        Name		Org ID
0ooxX0xxXo0x 	    myremote    [...]
  2. Use the following command to update the remote: 
    influx remote update \
  --id 0ooxX0xxXo0x
  --name new-example-name
  --description new-example-description
  --remote-url http://new-example-url.com
  --remote-api-token myN3wS3crE7t0k3n==
  --remote-org-id new-example-org-id

The future of Flux

Flux is going into maintenance mode. You can continue using it as you currently are without any changes to your code.

Flux is going into maintenance mode and will not be supported in InfluxDB 3.0. This was a decision based on the broad demand for SQL and the continued growth and adoption of InfluxQL. We are continuing to support Flux for users in 1.x and 2.x so you can continue using it with no changes to your code. If you are interested in transitioning to InfluxDB 3.0 and want to future-proof your code, we suggest using InfluxQL.
