CLI help documentation bug in v3.2.0

The influxdb3 show license --help output in v3.2.0 does not display the required --object-store, --cluster-id, and --node-id options and related object store configuration options. This command requires object store configuration and cluster/node identification to function properly.

Additional object store options

Depending on the --object-store type specified, additional configuration options may be required:

  • S3: AWS credentials and bucket configuration
  • GCS: Google Cloud credentials and bucket configuration
  • Azure: Azure credentials and container configuration
  • File: Local file system path configuration

Option environment variables

You can use the following environment variables to set command options:

Environment VariableOption
INFLUXDB3_HOST_URL--host
INFLUXDB3_AUTH_TOKEN--token

Examples

Display license information with file object store

influxdb3 show license \
  --cluster-id 
CLUSTER_ID
\
--node-id
NODE_ID
\
--object-store file \ --token
AUTH_TOKEN

In the example above, replace the following:

  • AUTH_TOKEN: Authentication token
  • CLUSTER_ID: Your cluster identifier
  • NODE_ID: Your node identifier

The command displays information about your Enterprise license, including license type, expiration date, and usage limits.
