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).

Run a task from the InfluxDB UI

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

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

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

  3. Select Run Task.

Run a task with the influx CLI

Use the influx task run retry command to run a task.

{{% note %}} To run a task from the influx CLI, the task must have already run at least once. {{% /note %}}

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

# Use the task ID to list previous runs of the task
influx task run find --task-id=0000000000000000

# Use the task ID and run ID to retry a run
influx task run retry --task-id=0000000000000000 --run-id=0000000000000000
