Creating a new Operator Token for your InfluxDB instance - Amazon Timestream

Creating a new Operator Token for your InfluxDB instance

If you need to get the Operator Token for your new InfluxDB instance, perform the following steps:

  1. To change your operator token, we recommend using the Influx CLI. For instructions, please see: Install and use the influx CLI.

  2. Configure your CLI to use --username-password to be able to create the operator:

    influx config create --config-name CONFIG_NAME1  --host-url "https://yourinstanceid.eu-central-1.timestream-influxdb.amazonaws.com:8086" --org [YOURORG]  --username-password [YOURUSERNAME] --active

  3. Create your new operator token. You will be asked for your password to confirm this step.

    influx auth create --org [YOURORG] --operator
Important

Once a new operator token has been created, you will need to update any client that is currently using the old one.
