TL;DR InfluxDB Tech Tips: Debugging and Monitoring Tasks with InfluxDB

InfluxDB allows users to process data on a schedule with tasks and write custom alerts. However, sometimes these tasks may fail. This article provides tips for debugging tasks using both the InfluxDB UI and CLI. The InfluxDB UI features include a task run status toggle, an export button, a view task runs button, and a run task button. These can be used to understand more about the tasks being run and to troubleshoot issues. The InfluxDB CLI also provides functionalities for debugging tasks such as retrying failed tasks or rerunning any task run. Additionally, it's recommended to use InfluxDB to monitor your own tasks by creating an alert that notifies you of failed runs with the corresponding task ID and run ID.
