influx scripts create
API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0
Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade.
For more information, see Token hashing.
The influx scripts create command creates an invokable script in InfluxDB.

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, --orgor--org-id: InfluxDB organization name or ID-t, --token: InfluxDB API token
Create a script using raw Flux
export FLUX_SCRIPT='
from(bucket: "example-bucket")
|> range(start: -10h)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "m")
|> aggregateWindow(every: 1h, fn: mean)
|> to(bucket: "default-ds-1d", org: "my-org")
