influxctl database rename

The influxctl database rename command renames a database in an InfluxDB cluster. This command does not change the database ID, database properties, or the data stored in the database.

Renaming a database requires new tokens

Database tokens are associated to databases by name. After renaming a database, tokens referencing the old name no longer function. You must generate tokens for the new database name.
