Create an admin token
Use the influxdb3 create token --admin subcommand
or the HTTP API
to create an admin token for your InfluxDB 3 Core instance.
An admin token grants full access to all actions for your InfluxDB 3 instance.
Store secure tokens in a secret store
Token strings are returned only on token creation. We recommend storing database tokens in a secure secret store. Anyone with access to the admin token has full control over your InfluxDB 3 Core instance. If you lose the admin token string, you must regenerate the token.
Create an admin token
Use the influxdb3 create token --admin command:
influxdb3 create token --admin
The output contains the token string in plain text.
To use the token as the default for later commands, and to persist the token
across sessions, assign the token string to the INFLUXDB3_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable.
Use the following endpoint to create an admin token:
POST /api/v3/configure/token/admin
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8181/api/v3/configure/token/admin" \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
