influxd run

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB. InfluxDB v2.1 is the latest stable version. See the equivalent InfluxDB v2.1 documentation: influxd run.

The influxd run command is the default command for influxd. It starts and runs all the processes necessary for InfluxDB to function.

Usage

influxd run [flags]

Because run is the default command for influxd, the following commands are the same:

influxd
influxd run

Flags

Flag Description
-config Path to the configuration file. This defaults to the environment variable INFLUXDB_CONFIG_PATH, ~/.influxdb/influxdb.conf, or /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf if a file is present at either of these locations.
