Add secrets
This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. InfluxDB 3 Core is the latest stable version.
Add secrets using the influx command line interface (CLI) or the InfluxDB API.
Add a secret using the influx CLI
Use the influx secret update command to add a new secret to your organization. Provide the secret key with the -k or --key flag. You may also provide the secret value with the -v or --value flag. If you do not provide the secret value with the -v or --value flag, enter the value when prompted.
Providing a secret value with the -v or --value flag may expose the secret in your command history.
