    Install and use the influx CLI


    Use the influx CLI to interact with and manage your InfluxDB instance.
    Write and query data, generate InfluxDB templates, export data, and more.

    The influx CLI is packaged and versioned separately from the


    InfluxDB server ( influxd ).

    Install the influx CLI


    Set up the influx CLI
    Use influx CLI commands

    Install the influx CLI

    macOS Linux Windows

    We recommend running influx CLI commands in Powershell.


    Command Prompt is not fully compatible.

    1. Download the influx CLI package.


     influx CLI v2.7.3 (Windows)

    2. Expand the downloaded archive.

    Expand the downloaded archive into


    C:\Program Files\InfluxData\ and rename it if desired.


    > Expand-Archive .\influxdb2-client-2.7.3-windows-amd64.
    > mv 'C:\Program Files\InfluxData\influxdb2-client-2.7.3

    3. Grant network access to the influx CLI.

    When using the influx CLI for the first time, Windows Defender
    displays the following message:

    Windows Defender Firewall has blocked some features of this


    app.

    To grant the influx CLI the required access, do the following:

    a. Select Private networks, such as my home or work network.


    b. Click Allow access.

    Set up the influx CLI


    Provide required authentication credentials
    Enable shell completion (Optional)

    Provide required authentication credentials


    To avoid having to pass your InfluxDB host, API token, and organization
    with each command, store them in an influx CLI configuration (config).
    influx commands that require these credentials automatically retrieve
    these credentials from the active config.

    Use the influx config create command to create an influx CLI


    config and set it as active:


    influx config create --config-name CONFIG_NAME  \
    --host-url http://localhost:8086  \
    --org ORG  \
    --token API_TOKEN  \
    --active

     Change InfluxDB URL

    Replace the following:

    CONFIG_NAME : Connection configuration name.

    ORG_NAME : your InfluxDB organization.

    API_TOKEN : your API token.

    For more information about managing CLI configurations, see the


    influx config documentation.

    For instructions on how to create API tokens, see Create a token.

    Authenticate with a username and password


    The influx CLI 2.4.0+ lets you create connection configurations that
    authenticate with InfluxDB OSS 2.4+ using the username and password
    combination that you would use to log into the InfluxDB user interface (UI).
    The CLI retrieves a session cookie and stores it, unencrypted, in your
    configs path.

    Use the --username-password , -p option to provide your username


    and password using the <username>:<password> syntax. If no password
    is provided, the CLI prompts for a password after each command that
    requires authentication.

    influx config create \
    -n CONFIG_NAME  \
    -u http://localhost:8086  \
    -p USERNAME  : PASSWORD  \
    -o ORG 

     Change InfluxDB URL

    Replace the following:

    CONFIG_NAME : Connection configuration name.


    ORG : your organization name.

    USERNAME:PASSWORD : your UI username and password combination.

    Enable shell completion (Optional)


    To install influx shell completion scripts, see influx completion .

    Use influx CLI commands


    For information about influx CLI commands, see the influx CLI
    reference documentation.
