The `influx export` command exports existing resources as an InfluxDB template.*For detailed examples of exporting InfluxDB templates, see[Create an InfluxDB template](/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/tools/influxdb-templates/create/).* ## Usage ``` influx export [flags] influx export [command] ``` ## Available subcommands | Subcommand | Description | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------| | [all](/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/reference/cli/influx/export/all/) | Export all resources in an organization as a template | |[stack](/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/reference/cli/influx/export/stack/)|Export all resources associated with a stack as a template| ## Flags |Flag| | Description |Input Type|Maps to [?](/influxdb/cloud-serverless/reference/cli/influx/#view-mapped-environment-variables)| |----|-------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |`-c`| `--active-config` | CLI configuration to use for command | string | | | | `--bucket-names` | Comma-separated list of bucket names | string | | | | `--buckets` | Comma-separated list of bucket IDs | string | | | | `--check-names` | Comma-separated list of check names | string | | | | `--checks` | Comma-separated list of check IDs | string | | | | `--configs-path` | Path to `influx` CLI configurations (default `~/.influxdbv2/configs`) | string | `INFLUX_CONFIGS_PATH` | | | `--dashboard-names` | Comma-separated list of dashboard names | string | | | | `--dashboards` | Comma-separated list of dashboard IDs | string | | | | `--endpoint-names` | Comma-separated list of notification endpoint names | string | | | | `--endpoints` | Comma-separated list of notification endpoint IDs | string | | |`-f`| `--file` |Template output file.

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/cloud-serverless/reference/urls/) * `-o, --org` or `--org-id`: InfluxDB organization name or ID * `-t, --token`: InfluxDB API token * [Export buckets by ID](#export-buckets-by-id) * [Export buckets, labels, and dashboards by ID](#export-buckets-labels-and-dashboards-by-id) * [Export buckets, labels, and dashboards by name](#export-buckets-labels-and-dashboards-by-name) * [Export all resources associated with a stack](#export-all-resources-associated-with-a-stack) * [Export resources both associated and not associated with a stack](#export-resources-both-associated-and-not-associated-with-a-stack) ##### Export buckets by ID ```sh influx export --buckets 0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo1,0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo2 ``` ##### Export buckets, labels, and dashboards by ID ```sh influx export \ --buckets 0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo1,0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo2 \ --labels o0x0oox0Xxoxx001,o0x0oox0Xxoxx002 \ --dashboards 0XxXooXoo0xooXo0X1,0XxXooXoo0xooXo0X2 ``` ##### Export buckets, labels, and dashboards by name ```sh influx export \ --bucket-names bucket1,bucket2,bucket3 \ --label-names label1,label2,label3 \ --dashboard-names dashboard1,dashboard2,dashboard3 ``` ##### Export all resources associated with a stack ```sh influx export --stack-id 0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo1 ``` ##### Export resources both associated and not associated with a stack ```sh influx export \ --stack-id 0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo1 \ --buckets o0x0oox0Xxoxx001,0XxXooXoo0xooXo0X2 \ --dashboard-names bucket1 ``` #### Related * [influx CLI—Provide required authentication credentials](/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/reference/cli/influx/#provide-required-authentication-credentials) * [influx CLI—Provide required authentication credentials](/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/reference/cli/influx/#provide-required-authentication-credentials) | Subcommand | Description | | --- | --- | | Subcommand | Description | | all | Export all resources in an organization as a template | | stack | Export all resources associated with a stack as a template | | Flag | | Description | Input Type | Maps to ? | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Flag | | Description | Input Type | Maps to ? | | -c | --active-config | CLI configuration to use for command | string | | | | --bucket-names | Comma-separated list of bucket names | string | | | | --buckets | Comma-separated list of bucket IDs | string | | | | --check-names | Comma-separated list of check names | string | | | | --checks | Comma-separated list of check IDs | string | | | | --configs-path | Path to influx CLI configurations (default ~/.influxdbv2/configs ) | string | INFLUX_CONFIGS_PATH | | | --dashboard-names | Comma-separated list of dashboard names | string | | | | --dashboards | Comma-separated list of dashboard IDs | string | | | | --endpoint-names | Comma-separated list of notification endpoint names | string | | | | --endpoints | Comma-separated list of notification endpoint IDs | string | | | -f | --file | Template output file.
