Failed to connect to http://localhost:8086 Connection refused

InfluxDB 1

Hello,

We are all set up with InfluxDB 2.3, but never fully grabbed all of our data from our 1.7 database, which runs on AWS EC2. Yesterday it appeared unreachable. When I connect to the Debian machine on which it is running, this is what I get:

image1064×223 9.23 KB

I tried to check the logs (looking for influxd.log), but I find nothing:

All I need is to re-establish a connection to download / export our data.

Can anyone add offer up a suggestion or two for how to resolve the above error?

Thanks,
Grant

@grant1 -

Are you able to browse to http://localhost:8086?
Same question with localhost replace by actual IP address of the Influxdb instance.

Thanks @phill but nothing there. FWIW, I never actually went to that URL with Influx 1.7. I set it up on AWS a few years ago using some tutorial and it “just worked”, and I did everything from the command line. I think I will try to restore the machine backup made the day earlier. All my data was flowing to both the old 1.7 instance and to the newer 2.3 instance.
