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
  • -o, --org or --org-id: InfluxDB organization name or ID
  • -t, --token: InfluxDB API token

Delete a replication

  1. Use influx replication list to get the ID for the replication you want to delete.
    $ influx replication list
    ID			        Name		Org ID
    0ooxX0xxXo0x      	    myreplication    [...]
  2. Use the following command to delete the replication:
    influx replication delete --id 0ooxX0xxXo0x
