# influx task retry-failed

-   influx CLI 2.0.5+
-   InfluxDB 2.0.5+

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 retry-failed` command retries failed InfluxDB task runs.

## Usage

```
influx task retry-failed [flags]
```

## 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

#### Required permissions

Use an [**Operator** or **All Access** token](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/) to retry failed tasks.

##### Retry failed task runs for a specific task ID

```sh
influx task retry-failed \
  --id 0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo1
```

##### Retry failed task runs that occurred before a specific time

```sh
influx task retry-failed \
  --before 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
```

##### Retry failed task runs that occurred after a specific time

```sh
influx task retry-failed \
  --after 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
```

##### Retry failed task runs that occurred in a specific time range

```sh
influx task retry-failed \
  --after 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z \
  --before 2021-01-01T23:59:59Z
```

##### Retry failed runs for a limited number of tasks

```sh
influx task retry-failed \
  --task-limit 5
```

##### Retry a limited number of failed runs for a task

```sh
influx task retry-failed \
  --id 0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo1 \
  --run-limit 5
```

##### Print information about runs that will be retried

```sh
influx task retry-failed \
  --dry-run
```
