v2.0.0

influxctl 2.0.0 introduces support for both InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated and InfluxDB Clustered. To simplify configuration profile management, all connection configurations now managed in a single configuration file. If using influxctl 1.x, migrate your 1.x configuration profiles to the 2.0 format:

Migrate from influxctl 1.x to 2.0

influxctl 2.0+ supports multiple InfluxDB v3 products. To simplify connection configuration management, all configurations are now managed in a single file rather than separate files for each connection configuration.

To migrate influxctl 1.x configuration files to the 2.x format, use the following guidelines:

1. Create a 2.0+ configuration file (config.toml) at the default location for your operating system. See Create a configuration file.

2. Copy the account_id and cluster_id credentials from your influxctl 1.x configuration file and add them to a [[profile]] TOML table along with the following fields:

   • name: Profile name
   • product: InfluxDB product (dedicated)

   For example, the following 1.x configuration file:

   account_id = "dff3ee52-b494-47c1-9e2c-ab59d90d94eb"
   cluster_id = "5827cdeb-b868-4446-b40e-e08de116fddf"
   

   would become:

   [[profile]]
       name = "default"
       product = "dedicated"
       account_id = "dff3ee52-b494-47c1-9e2c-ab59d90d94eb"
       cluster_id = "5827cdeb-b868-4446-b40e-e08de116fddf"
