Run a task with the influx CLI

Use the influx task run retry command to run a task.

To run a task from the influx CLI, the task must have already run at least once.

  1. # List all tasks to find the ID of the task to run
  2. influx task list
  4. # Use the task ID to list previous runs of the task
  5. influx task run list --task-id=0000000000000000
  7. # Use the task ID and run ID to retry a run
  8. influx task run retry --task-id=0000000000000000 --run-id=0000000000000000
