Manage Kapacitor Flux task runs

Use the kapacitor CLI or the Kapacitor HTTP API to manage Kapacitor Flux task runs. Each Flux task execution is considered a “run.”

Use the kapacitor flux task run list command and its sub commands to manage Kapacitor Flux task runs.

List Kapacitor Flux tasks runs

Use the kapacitor flux task run list command to output Kapacitor Flux task logs. Provide the following flags:

* Required

  • * --task-id: Task ID
  • --run-id: Filter by run ID
  • --before: Return task runs that occurred before this time (RFC3339 timestamp)
  • --after: Return task runs that occurred after this time (RFC3339 timestamp)
  • --limit: Limit the number of returned task runs (default is 100)

CLI Examples

List runs for a Flux task
kapacitor flux task run list --task-id 000x00xX0xXXx00
List Flux task runs that occurred in a time range
kapacitor flux task run list \
  --task-id 000x00xX0xXXx00 \
  --after 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z \
  --before 2021-01-31T00:00:00Z
List a limited number of Flux task runs
kapacitor flux task run list \
  --task-id 000x00xX0xXXx00 \
  --limit 10

Retry a Kapacitor Flux task run

Use the kapacitor flux task run retry command to retry a Kapacitor Flux task run. Provide the following flags:

* Required

  • * --task-id: Task ID
  • * --run-id: Run ID
kapacitor flux task run retry \
  --task-id 000x00xX0xXXx00 \
  --run-id XXX0xx0xX00Xx0X

The future of Flux

Flux is going into maintenance mode. You can continue using it as you currently are without any changes to your code.

Flux is going into maintenance mode and will not be supported in InfluxDB 3.0. This was a decision based on the broad demand for SQL and the continued growth and adoption of InfluxQL. We are continuing to support Flux for users in 1.x and 2.x so you can continue using it with no changes to your code. If you are interested in transitioning to InfluxDB 3.0 and want to future-proof your code, we suggest using InfluxQL.
