influx export stack

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. InfluxDB 3 Core is the latest stable version.

The influx export stack command exports all resources associated with a stack as a template. All metadata.name fields remain the same.

To export resources as a template, you must use the Operator token created for the initial InfluxDB user or an All Access token. For information about creating an All Access API token, see Create an API token.

Usage

influx export stack <stack_id> [flags]

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
