Remove a Telegraf configuration
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.
Use the InfluxDB user interface (UI) or the influx CLI
to remove Telegraf configurations from InfluxDB.
Deleting a Telegraf configuration does not affect running Telegraf agents. However, if an agents stops, it needs a new configuration to start.
To remove a Telegraf configuration, do one of the following:
Use the InfluxDB UI
In the navigation menu on the left, select Data (Load Data) > Telegraf.
Hover over the configuration you want to delete, click the icon, and then click Delete.
Use the influx CLI
Use the influx telegrafs rm command
to remove a Telegraf configuration from InfluxDB.
Provide the following:
- Telegraf configuration ID (shown in the output of
influx telegrafs)
# Syntax
influx telegrafs rm -i <telegraf-config-id>
# Example
influx telegrafs rm -i 12ab34de56fg78hiWas this page helpful?
