# influx telegrafs rm

-   influx CLI 2.0.0+
-   InfluxDB 2.0.0+

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. [InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/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/v2/admin/tokens/#token-hashing).

The `influx telegrafs rm` command removes Telegraf configurations from InfluxDB.

## Usage

```sh
influx telegrafs rm [flags]
```

`rm`, `remove`

## Examples

#### Authentication credentials

The examples below assume your InfluxDB **host**, **organization**, and **token** are provided by either the [active `influx` CLI configuration](/influxdb/v2/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/v2/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
```
