Examples: how to apply a template or stack

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

• from a file
• from a URL
• from a stack that has associated templates
• a template to a stack
• multiple template files together
• a template from stdin
• all templates in a directory
• recursively from a directory
• from multiple sources
• skip resources

Apply a template from a file

influx apply --file path/to/template.json

Apply a template from a URL

influx apply --file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/influxdata/community-templates/master/docker/docker.yml

Apply a stack that has associated templates

To apply all templates associated with a stack ID to a new stack:

influx apply --stack-id $STACK_ID

Apply a template to a stack

influx apply --file path/to/template.json --stack-id $STACK_ID

Apply multiple template files together

influx apply \
  --file path/to/template_1.json \
  --file path/to/template_2.yml

Apply a template from stdin

cat template.json | influx apply --encoding json

Apply all templates in a directory

influx apply --file path/to/template_directory

Recursively apply templates from a directory

influx apply --recurse --file path/to/template_directory

Apply templates from multiple sources

influx apply \
  --file path/to/template.yml
  --file path/to/templates_directory
  --file https://example.com/template.json

Apply a template, but skip resources

# The following example skips all buckets and the dashboard
# whose metadata.name field matches "example-dashboard".

# Filter format:
#	--filter=kind=Bucket
#	--filter=resource=Label:$Label_TMPL_NAME

influx apply \
	--file path/to/template.yml \
	--filter kind=Bucket \
	--filter resource=Dashboard:example-dashboard
