influx write dryrun
- influx CLI 2.0.0+
- InfluxDB 2.0.0+
The influx write dryrun
command prints write output to stdout instead of writing to InfluxDB. Use this command to test writing data.
Supports line protocol, annotated CSV, and extended annotated CSV. Output is always line protocol.

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
