Identify InfluxDB 3 Enterprise version

Identifying which InfluxDB product and version you’re using is essential for accessing the correct documentation, troubleshooting issues, and planning upgrades.

Identify your InfluxDB version

If you are unsure which InfluxDB product you are using, use our interactive version detector to help identify it:

Quick detection methods

InfluxDB 3 Enterprise detection

Check the version using the influxdb3 command:

influxdb3 --version

Query the /health endpoint:

curl http://localhost:8181/health

Check the /ping endpoint headers:

curl -i http://localhost:8181/ping

Look for:

  • x-influxdb-version: Version number (for example, 3.6.0)
  • x-influxdb-build: Enterprise
