Description

User is asking for instructions on how to work with sample data using CLI.

We should add note and an example if you're using influx CLI, you can import the "influxdata/influxdb/sample" package and use the sample.data() function to explore sample data sets:

Start with the query sample data page at https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.3/query-data/execute-queries/query-sample-data/ and compare the linked sample-data references. Done means the CLI documentation includes a note and example showing how to import the sample package and use sample.data() to explore sample datasets.
