See Create an InfluxDB template for information about generating template manifests.

Include the following resources in a template:

buckets
dashboards
dashboard variables

Stacks

Use InfluxDB stacks to manage InfluxDB templates. When you apply a template, InfluxDB associates resources in the template with a stack. Use stacks to add, update, or remove InfluxDB templates over time.

Use the command line interface (CLI) to summarize, validate, and apply templates from your local filesystem and from URLs.

Use the InfluxDB UI and the command to create InfluxDB templates.

Use an InfluxDB stack to manage your InfluxDB templates—add, update, or remove templates over time.
