Delete a database token
Use the influxctl CLI
or the Management HTTP API
to delete a database token from your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster.
Use the influxctl token delete command
to delete a database token from your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster and revoke
all permissions associated with the token.
If you haven’t already, download and install the
influxctlCLI, and then configure aninfluxctlconnection profile for your cluster.To list token IDs, run the
influxctl token listcommand in your terminal.influxctl token listCopy the token ID of the token you want to delete.
Run the
influxctl token deletecommand and provide the following:- Token ID to delete
Confirm that you want to delete the token.
influxctl token delete TOKEN_ID
This example uses cURL to send a Management HTTP API request, but you can use any HTTP client.
If you haven’t already, follow the instructions to install cURL for your system.
In your terminal, use cURL to send a request to the following InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated endpoint:
DELETE https://console.influxdata.com/api/v0/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/clusters/CLUSTER_ID/tokens/TOKEN_ID
In the URL, provide the following:
ACCOUNT_ID: The ID of the account that the cluster belongs to (see how to list cluster details).CLUSTER_ID: The ID of the cluster that you want to manage (see how to list cluster details).TOKEN_ID: The ID of the database token that you want to delete (see how to list token details).
Provide the following request headers:
Accept: application/jsonto ensure the response body is JSON contentAuthorization: Bearerand a Management API token for your cluster (see how to create a management token for Management API requests).
Specify the
DELETErequest method.
The following example shows how to use the Management API to delete a database token and revoke all permissions associated with the token:
curl \
--location "https://console.influxdata.com/api/v0/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/clusters/CLUSTER_ID/tokens/TOKEN_ID" \
--request DELETE \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $MANAGEMENT_TOKEN" \
Replace the following:
ACCOUNT_ID: the ID of the InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated account to create the database token forCLUSTER_ID: the ID of the InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster to create the database token forMANAGEMENT TOKEN: a management token for your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated clusterTOKEN_ID: the ID of the database token to delete
Deleting a token is immediate and cannot be undone
Deleting a database token is a destructive action that takes place immediately and cannot be undone.
Rotate deleted tokens
After deleting a database token, any clients using the deleted token need to be updated with a new database token to continue to interact with your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster.
