List database tokens

Use the influxctl token list command to list database tokens in your InfluxDB cluster.

  1. If you haven’t already, download and install the influxctl CLI.

  2. Run influxctl token list with the following:

influxctl token list --format table

Output formats

The influxctl token list command supports two output formats: table and json. By default, the command outputs the list of tokens formatted as a table. For easier programmatic access to the command output, include --format json with your command to format the token list as JSON.
