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).

Use the InfluxDB user interface (UI) or the [`influx` CLI](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/)to view and download InfluxDB Telegraf configurations.

To view Telegraf configurations, do one of the following:

* [Use the InfluxDB UI](#use-the-influxdb-ui)
* [Use the `influx` CLI](#use-the-influx-cli)

## Use the InfluxDB UI

In the navigation menu on the left, select **Data** (**Load Data**) \> **Telegraf**.
