# Manage tasks in InfluxDB

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. [InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/core/) is the latest stable version.

#### API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — **capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade**.

For more information, see [Token hashing](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#token-hashing).

InfluxDB provides multiple options for creating, reading, updating, and deleting (CRUD) tasks. The following articles walk through managing tasks with the InfluxDB user interface (UI), the `influx` command line interface (CLI), and the InfluxDB API.

### [View tasks](/influxdb/v2/process-data/manage-tasks/view-tasks/)

View existing data processing tasks using the InfluxDB UI or the `influx` CLI.

### [Run a task](/influxdb/v2/process-data/manage-tasks/run-task/)

Run a data processing task using the InfluxDB UI or the `influx` CLI.

### [View task run history and logs](/influxdb/v2/process-data/manage-tasks/task-run-history/)

### [Export a task](/influxdb/v2/process-data/manage-tasks/export-task/)
