The influx config command displays the active InfluxDB connection configuration
and manages multiple connection configurations stored, by default, in ~/.influxdbv2/configs.
Each connection includes a URL, token, associated organization, and active setting.
InfluxDB reads the token from the active connection configuration, so you don't
have to manually enter a token to log into InfluxDB.
