Identifying which InfluxDB product and version you’re using is essential for accessing the correct documentation, troubleshooting issues, and planning upgrades.

> [!Note]
> #### Identify your InfluxDB version
>
> If you are unsure which InfluxDB product you are using, use our interactive version detector to help identify it:

> [Detect my InfluxDB version](#)
> *(Interactive feature in HTML: Opens version detector modal)*

## Quick detection methods

> [!Note]
> #### SQL version() function
>
> The SQL `version()` function returns the[DataFusion](https://datafusion.apache.org/) query engine version, not the
> InfluxDB product version. Use the methods above to identify your InfluxDB
> version.

### InfluxDB 3 Cloud detection

**URL pattern**: `*.enterprise.influxdb.io`

* Example: `instance-id.enterprise.influxdb.io`

**Administration interface**: Manage instances through [console.influxdata.com](https://console.influxdata.com).

**CLI**: InfluxDB 3 Cloud workflows use the `influxdb3` CLI rather than `influxctl`.
The following command reports the installed CLI version:

```bash
influxdb3 --version
```

InfluxDB 3 Cloud is in early access.[Request access](https://www.influxdata.com/products/influxdb3-cloud/).
