Revoke a database token

Use the influxctl token revoke command to revoke a database token from your InfluxDB cluster and disable all permissions associated with the token.

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

  2. Run the influxctl token list command to output tokens with their IDs. Copy the token ID of the token you want to delete.

    influxctl token list
  3. Run the influxctl token revoke command and provide the following:

    • Token ID to revoke
  4. Confirm that you want to revoke the token.

influxctl token revoke 
TOKEN_ID

Revoking a token is immediate and cannot be undone

Revoking a database token is a destructive action that takes place immediately and cannot be undone.

Rotate revoked tokens

After revoking a database token, any clients using the revoked token need to be updated with a new database token to continue to interact with your InfluxDB cluster.
