influx: Connect to a specific host.
$ influx -host ${hostname}
try on your machine
The command "influx -host ${hostname}" is used to initiate the InfluxDB command-line interface (CLI) session and specify the host where the InfluxDB server is running.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "influx": This is the primary command that is used to start the InfluxDB CLI.
- "-host ${hostname}": This is an option that is used to specify the host or IP address of the InfluxDB server. The variable "${hostname}" is expected to be replaced with the actual hostname of the InfluxDB server.
By using this command, you can connect to the InfluxDB server through the CLI and execute various commands to interact with the database, such as creating, querying, and managing time-series data.
