* influx CLI 2.3.0+
* InfluxDB 2.0.0+

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).

The `influx server-config` command displays the InfluxDB runtime [server configuration](/influxdb/v2/reference/config-options/).

> [!Note]
> To display the server configuration, you must use an [operator token](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#operator-token).
