Update an organization

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

Use the influx command line interface (CLI) or the InfluxDB user interface (UI) to update an organization.

Note that updating an organization’s name will affect any assets that reference the organization by name, including the following:

  • Queries
  • Dashboards
  • Tasks
  • Telegraf configurations
  • Templates

If you change an organization name, be sure to update the organization in the above places as well.

Update an organization in the InfluxDB UI

  1. In the navigation menu on the left, click the user icon > About.

  2. Click Rename. A verification window appears.

  3. Review the information, and then click I understand, let’s rename my organization.

  4. Enter a new name for your organization, and then click Change organization name.

Update an organization using the influx CLI

Use the influx org update command to update an organization. Provide the following:

Update the name of an organization
influx org update \
  --org-id 
ORG_ID
\
--name
NEW_ORG_NAME
\
--description
NEW_ORG_DESCRIPTION
\
  • Copy
  • Fill window

Replace the following:

  • ORG_ID: The ID of the organization to update.
  • NEW_ORG_NAME: The new name for the organization.
  • NEW_ORG_DESCRIPTION: The new description for the organization.
