influxd upgrade

Use the influxd upgrade command to upgrade an instance of InfluxDB 1.x to InfluxDB 2.1. This command copies all data in databases and retention policies (used in 1.x) over to buckets (used in 2.1).

Be sure to back up all data before upgrading with influx upgrade.

This command performs the following actions:

Creates the InfluxDB 2.x configuration file using 1.x configuration file options. Unsupported 1.x options are reported to standard output. If the configuration file is not available, the 1.x database folder can be passed via th --v1-dir flag.
Copies and upgrades 1.x database files.

The target 2.x database directory is specified by the --engine-path option. If changed, the bolt path can be specified by the --bolt-path option.
