# influx task list

-   influx CLI 2.0.0+
-   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 task list` command lists and searches for tasks in InfluxDB.

## Usage

```
influx task list [flags]
```

`list`, `ls`, `find`

## Examples

#### Authentication credentials

The examples below assume your InfluxDB **host**, **organization**, and **token** are provided by either the [active `influx` CLI configuration](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/#provide-required-authentication-credentials) or by environment variables (`INFLUX_HOST`, `INFLUX_ORG`, and `INFLUX_TOKEN`). If you do not have a CLI configuration set up or the environment variables set, include these required credentials for each command with the following flags:

-   `--host`: [InfluxDB host](/influxdb/v2/reference/urls/)
-   `-o, --org` or `--org-id`: InfluxDB organization name or ID
-   `-t, --token`: InfluxDB API token

-   [List all tasks](#list-all-tasks)
-   [List a specific task](#list-a-specific-task)
-   [Limit the number of tasks returned to 20](#limit-the-number-of-tasks-returned-to-20)
-   [List all tasks created by a specific user](#list-all-tasks-created-by-a-specific-user)

##### List all tasks

```sh
influx task list
```

##### List a specific task

```sh
influx task list --id 0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo1
```

##### Limit the number of tasks returned to 20

```sh
influx task list --limit 20
```

##### List all tasks created by a specific user

```sh
influx task list --user-id 0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo1
```
