When an InfluxDB task runs, a run record is created in the task's history. Logs associated with each run provide relevant log messages, timestamps, and the exit status of the run attempt.

Use the InfluxDB user interface (UI), the influx command line interface (CLI), or the InfluxDB /api/v2 API to view task run histories and associated logs.

1. In the navigation menu on the left, select Tasks.

   {{< nav-icon "tasks" >}}

2. Hover over the task you want to run and click the {{< icon "gear" >}} icon.

3. Select View Task Runs.

View task run logs

To view logs associated with a run, click View Logs next to the run in the task's run history.

View a task's run history with the influx CLI

Use the influx task run list command to view a task's run history.

# List all tasks to find the ID of the task to run
influx task list

# Use the task ID to view the run history of a task
influx task run list --task-id=0000000000000000

{{% note %}} Detailed run logs are not currently available in the influx CLI. {{% /note %}}

To retry failed task runs, see how to run tasks.
