influx secret update

  • influx CLI 2.0.0+
  • InfluxDB 2.0.0+

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB. InfluxDB v2.7 is the latest stable version. View this page in the v2.7 documentation.

The influx secret update command adds and updates secrets. Provide the secret key with the -k or --key flag. You may also provide the secret value with the -v or --value flag. If you do not provide the secret value with the -v or --value flag, enter the value when prompted.

Providing a secret value with the -v or --value flag may expose the secret in your command history.
