# Identify InfluxDB Clustered version

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

#### 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](#)

## Quick detection methods

### InfluxDB Clustered detection

Use the `influxctl` CLI to check your cluster version:

```bash
influxctl version
```

To view cluster information:

```bash
influxctl cluster list
```

#### 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.

## Understanding InfluxDB products

For a complete comparison of InfluxDB versions and deployment options, see the [InfluxDB platform overview](/platform/).

## Troubleshooting

### Can’t access your InfluxDB instance?

If you can’t directly access your InfluxDB instance:

1. Use the [interactive version detector](#identify-your-influxdb-version) above or [Ask InfluxData AI](#)
2. Answer questions about your setup:
    -   License type (paid or free)
    -   Hosting model (cloud or self-hosted)
    -   Server age
    -   Query language preferences
3. Get product recommendations based on your answers

### Still not sure?

If you’re still uncertain, see the [Support and feedback](#bug-reports-and-feedback) options.
