Identify InfluxDB OSS v2 version

API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade.

For more information, see Token hashing.

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

The InfluxDB UI displays the version:

  • On the login page
  • In the right column of the main landing page
  • In the user menu dropdown
