# Identify InfluxDB Enterprise v1 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 OSS v1 / Enterprise v1 detection

Check the version using `influxd`:

```bash
influxd version
```

Check the `/ping` endpoint headers:

```bash
curl -i http://localhost:8086/ping
```

Look for the `x-influxdb-version` header (for example, `1.11.7`).

For Enterprise v1, the `x-influxdb-build` header will show `Enterprise`.

## Understanding InfluxDB products
