+InfluxDB data processing tasks generally run in defined intervals or at a specific time,
+however, you can manually run a task from the InfluxDB user interface (UI) or the
+`influx` command line interface (CLI).

+1. Click the **Tasks** icon in the left navigation to view the lists of tasks.

+
+2. Hover over the task you want to run and click the **{{< icon "gear" >}}** icon.
+3. Select **Run Task**.
