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
