Use the influxctl table rename command to rename a table in your {{< product-name omit=" Clustered" >}} cluster.

[!Note] After renaming a table, write and query requests using the old table name are routed to the same table.

Rename a database using the influxctl CLI

<!-- pytest.mark.skip -->
bash
influxctl table rename DATABASE_NAME CURRENT_TABLE_NAME NEW_TABLE_NAME

Replace the following:

  • {{% code-placeholder-key %}}DATABASE_NAME{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: Name of the database the table is in
  • {{% code-placeholder-key %}}CURRENT_TABLE_NAME{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: Name of the table to change
  • {{% code-placeholder-key %}}NEW_TABLE_NAME{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: New name for the table

[!Note]

Renamed table retains its ID

The table ID remains the same after renaming. When you list tables, you'll see the new name associated with the original table ID.
