Process data with InfluxDB tasks

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB. InfluxDB v2.6 is the latest stable version. View this page in the v2.6 documentation.

Process and analyze your data with tasks in the InfluxDB task engine. Use tasks (scheduled Flux queries) to input a data stream and then analyze, modify, and act on the data accordingly.

Discover how to create and manage tasks using the InfluxDB user interface (UI) the influx command line interface (CLI), and the InfluxDB /api/v2 API. Find examples of data downsampling and other common tasks.

Tasks replace InfluxDB v1.x continuous queries.
