## Example
{{< cli/influx-creds-note >}}

### Update a remote
1. Use `influx remote list` to get the ID for the remote you want to update.
   ```sh
   $ influx remote list
   ID			        Name		Org ID
   0ooxX0xxXo0x 	    myremote    [...]
   ```
2. Use the following command to update the remote:
    ```sh
    influx remote update \
      --id 0ooxX0xxXo0x
      --name new-example-name
      --description new-example-description
      --remote-url http://new-example-url.com
      --remote-api-token myN3wS3crE7t0k3n==
      --remote-org-id new-example-org-id
    ```
