## Examples

#### Authentication credentials

The examples below assume your InfluxDB **host**, **organization**, and **token** are
provided by either the [active `influx` CLI configuration](/influxdb/cloud/reference/cli/influx/#provide-required-authentication-credentials) 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](/influxdb/cloud/reference/urls/)
* `-o, --org` or `--org-id`: InfluxDB organization name or ID
* `-t, --token`: InfluxDB API token

##### Remove a Telegraf configuration

```sh
influx telegrafs rm --id ab12cd34ef56
```

##### Remove multiple Telegraf configurations

```sh
influx telegrafs rm \
  --i 0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo1 \
  --i oox0Xx0ox00XXxoo2
```
