--json | Output data as JSON (default false) | INFLUX_OUTPUT_JSON | ||
-n | --name | New bucket name | string | INFLUX_BUCKET_NAME |
-r | --retention | New duration bucket will retain data. For detail, see Retention periods. | duration | |
--shard-group-duration | Custom shard group duration for the bucket (OSS only) | string | ||
--skip-verify | Skip TLS certificate verification | INFLUX_SKIP_VERIFY | ||

Retention periods
The minimum retention period is one hour. Valid --retention units:
- nanoseconds (
ns) - microseconds (
usorµs) - milliseconds (
ms) - seconds (
s) - minutes (
m) - hours (
h) - days (
d) - weeks (
w)
For an infinite retention period, set the number to 0. For example, 0s.
Examples
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

Custom shard group durations are only supported in InfluxDB OSS. The shard group duration must be shorter than the buckets retention period.
