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 InfluxDB user interface (UI) provides tools for building custom dashboards to visualize your data.
The following articles outline ways to customize and manage dashboards.

> [!Note]
> The InfluxDB UI is packaged with InfluxDB and runs as part of the InfluxDB server.
> To access the UI, start the [`influxd` service](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influxd/)and visit [http://localhost:8086](http://localhost:8086) in your web browser.

### [Manage InfluxDB dashboards](/influxdb/v2/visualize-data/dashboards/)

### [Use and manage variables](/influxdb/v2/visualize-data/variables/)

Dashboard variables allow you to alter specific components of cells’ queries without having to edit the queries, making it easy to interact with your dashboard cells and explore your data.

### [Manage labels in the InfluxDB UI](/influxdb/v2/visualize-data/labels/)

Labels are a way to add visual metadata to dashboards, tasks, and other items in the InfluxDB UI. View and manage labels in the InfluxDB user interface.

### [Use annotations in dashboards](/influxdb/v2/visualize-data/annotations/)
