Examples

Authentication credentials

The examples below assume your InfluxDB host, organization, and token are provided by either the active influx CLI configuration or by environment variables (INFLUX_HOST, INFLUX_ORG, and INFLUX_TOKEN). If you do not have a CLI configuration set up or the environment variables set, include these required credentials for each command with the following flags:

  • --host: InfluxDB host
  • -o, --org or --org-id: InfluxDB organization name or ID
  • -t, --token: InfluxDB API token

Create a replication stream

  1. Create a remote connection, if you haven’t already.

  2. Use influx remote list to get the ID for the remote you want to replicate data to.

    1. $ influx remote list
    2. ID                    Name        Org ID
    3. 0ooxX0xxXo0x         myremote    [...]

  3. Create the replication:

    1. influx replication create \
    2.   --name myreplication
    3.   --local-bucket example-local-bucket
    4.   --remote-bucket example-remote-bucket
    5.   --remote-id 0ooxX0xxXo0x
