influx org create

Works with InfluxDB OSS 2.x

The influx org create command works with InfluxDB OSS 2.x, but does not work with InfluxDB Cloud Serverless. New organizations are created for each new InfluxDB account. For information about creating an InfluxDB Cloud Serverless account, see sign up for InfluxDB Cloud Serverless.

The influx org create creates an organization in InfluxDB.

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
