# View tasks

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).

## View tasks in the InfluxDB UI

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

Tasks

### Filter the list of tasks

1. Click the **Show Inactive** toggle to include or exclude inactive tasks in the list.
2. Enter text in the **Filter tasks** field to search for tasks by name or label.
3. Click the heading of any column to sort by that field.

## View tasks with the influx CLI

Use the `influx task list` command to return a list of tasks.

```sh
influx task list
```

#### Filter tasks using the CLI

Other filtering options such as filtering by organization or user, or limiting the number of tasks returned, are available. See the [`influx task list` documentation](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/task/list) for information about other available flags.

## View tasks with the InfluxDB API

Use the [`/tasks` InfluxDB API endpoint](/influxdb/v2/api/tasks/) to return a list of tasks.

[GET http://localhost:8086/api/v2/tasks](/influxdb/v2/api/tasks/)
