INFLUX(1) INFLUX(1) NAME influx - InfluxDB client SYNOPSIS influx [options] influx -execute <command> [options] influx -import -path <path> (-compressed) [options] influx -version DESCRIPTION influx is the command line program for interacting with an InfluxDB server. In the first form, the program starts a CLI that can be used to write data or query the database. The command line is described in COMMAND LINE. In the second form, this will execute a single command, usually a query. This is the equivalent of starting the command line, running one command, and then exiting. In the third form, this imports a previously exported database to the data- base. The fourth form outputs the version of the command line and then immedi- ately exits. OPTIONS -host <host> Host to connect to. Default is localhost. -port <port> Port to use when connecting to the host. Default is 8086. -database <database> Database to use when connecting to the database. -username <username> Username to connect to the server. -password <password> Password to connect to the server. If left blank, this will prompt for a password. -ssl: Use https for requests. -unsafeSsl Set this with -ssl to allow unsafe connections. -execute <command> Executes the command and exits. -format <json|csv|column> Sets the format of the server responses.
