Delete secrets

Delete secrets using the influx command line interface (CLI) or the InfluxDB API.

Delete a secret using the influx CLI

Use the influx secret delete command to delete a secret key-value pair from your organization. Provide the secret key to delete with the -k or --key flag.

# Syntax
influx secret delete -k <secret-key>

# Example
influx secret delete -k foo

Delete secrets using the InfluxDB API

Use the POST request method and the orgs/{orgID}/secrets/delete API endpoint to delete one or more secrets.

Include the following:

  • Your organization ID in the request URL
  • Your API token in the Authorization header
  • An array of secret keys to delete in the request body
curl --request GET http://localhost:8086/api/v2/orgs/<org-id>/secrets/delete \
  --header 'Authorization: Token YOURAUTHTOKEN' \
  --data '{
  "secrets": [
    "<secret-key>"
  ]
}'
