Command line tools
This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. InfluxDB 3 Core is the latest stable version.
API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0
Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade.
For more information, see Token hashing.
InfluxDB provides command line tools designed to aid in managing and working with InfluxDB from the command line. The following command line interfaces (CLIs) are available:
influx - InfluxDB command line interface
The influx CLI includes commands to manage many aspects of InfluxDB, including buckets, organizations, users, tasks, etc.
influxd - InfluxDB service
The influxd service starts and runs all the processes necessary for InfluxDB to function.
