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 version detection

Check the version using the influxdb3 command:

influxdb3 --version

Send a GET request to the /ping endpoint to examine HTTP response headers–for example:

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

The response includes version information in the headers and body:

  • Headers:

    • x-influxdb-version: Version number (for example, 3.10.5)
    • x-influxdb-build: Enterprise

  • JSON body: Contains version, revision, and process_id

Example response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
x-influxdb-build: 
Enterprise

x-influxdb-version: 3.10.5

{"version":"3.10.5","revision":"abc123def","process_id":"..."}

The /ping endpoint requires authentication by default in InfluxDB 3 Enterprise. Include an admin token or a system token (with system:ping:read permission) using Bearer authentication in the Authorization header.

SQL version() function

The SQL version() function returns the DataFusion query engine version, not the InfluxDB product version. Use the methods above to identify your InfluxDB version.
