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, --orgor--org-id: InfluxDB organization name or ID-t, --token: InfluxDB API token

- Update a schema and print column information
- Update a schema with columns format
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
