InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated

Rename a table

Use the influxctl table rename command to rename a table in your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster.

After renaming a table, write and query requests using the old table name are routed to the same table.

Rename a database using the influxctl CLI

influxctl table rename 
DATABASE_NAME
 
CURRENT_TABLE_NAME
 
NEW_TABLE_NAME

Replace the following:

  • DATABASE_NAME: Name of the database the table is in
  • CURRENT_TABLE_NAME: Name of the table to change
  • NEW_TABLE_NAME: New name for the table

Renamed table retains its ID

The table ID remains the same after renaming. When you list tables, you’ll see the new name associated with the original table ID.

InfluxDB Docker latest tag changing to InfluxDB 3 Core

On November 3, 2025, the latest tag for InfluxDB Docker images will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments.

If using Docker to install and run InfluxDB, the latest tag will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments. For example, if using Docker to run InfluxDB v2, replace the latest version tag with a specific version tag in your Docker pull command–for example:

docker pull influxdb:2
