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 remote \
      --id 0ooxX0xxXo0x
      --name new-example-name
      --description new-examle-description
      --remote-url http://new-example-url.com
      --remote-api-token myN3wS3crE7t0k3n==
      --remote-org-id new-example-org-id
