Examples

Authentication credentials

The examples below assume your InfluxDB host, organization, and token are provided by the active influx CLI configuration. If you do not have a CLI configuration set up, use the appropriate flags to provide these required credentials.

Update a schema using the influx CLI

influx bucket-schema update \
  --bucket example-bucket \
  --name temperature \
  --columns-file columns.csv

Update a schema and print column information

influx bucket-schema update \
  --bucket example-bucket \
  --name cpu \
  --columns-file columns.csv \
  -extended-output

Update a schema with columns format

By default, InfluxDB attempts to detect the columns file format. If your file’s extension doesn’t match the format, set the format with the columns-format flag.

influx bucket-schema update \
  --bucket example-bucket \
  --name cpu \
  --columns-file columns.json \
  --columns-format ndjson
influx bucket-schema update \
  --bucket example-bucket \
  --name cpu \
  --columns-file columns.txt \
  --columns-format csv
