Hello everybody,
I want to use influxDB with telegraf, but telegraf connection is refused by the influxDB.
My Story
Fundamentals:
- create a network:
docker network create --driver bridge influxdb-telegraf-net - create a volume:
docker volume create influxDBTelegraf
- First, I run my influxDB Container:
docker run -d --name=influxdb -p 8086:8086 -v influxDBTelegraf:/root/.influxdb2 --net=influxdb-telegraf-net influxdb
-
Then I setup the first parameters after localhost:8086 and named my bucket myfirstbucket.
-
After that, I configure my first CPU telegraf data source (see config file below). Additional, I download the .config and save the file as telegraf.config in…/Users/Programming/Documents/telegraf. You finde the telegraf.config in the appendix below.
-
Then I start telegraf:
docker pull telegrafdocker run --net=influxdb-telegraf-net -v $PWD/telegraf.conf:/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf:ro telegraf
Now, all my container are running and I start to configure my APIToken and execute the following statements in the terminal of the telegraf container.
export INFLUX_TOKEN=NKt6_bvgkPwAkqkKdx_xeFI4EoB4mas0T6nx2BgZ7ieyE2HJTaelttZEPglS2p1CPyO0gnRUBHKvFy_Oyc8JjA==telegraf --config http://localhost:8086/api/v2/telegrafs/0af7bb2bbd6cc000
NOW, here comes my problem
export INFLUX_TOKEN=NKt6_bvgkPwAkqkKdx_xeFI4EoB4mas0T6nx2BgZ7ieyE2HJTaelttZEPglS2p1CPyO0gnRUBHKvFy_Oyc8JjA==
telegraf --config http://localhost:8086/api/v2/telegrafs/0af7bb2bbd6cc000
2023-03-29T19:57:14Z I! Loading config url: http://localhost:8086/api/v2/telegrafs/0af7bb2bbd6cc000
2023-03-29T19:57:14Z E! error loading config file http://localhost:8086/api/v2/telegrafs/0af7bb2bbd6cc000: retry 0 of 3 failed connecting to HTTP config server: Get "http://localhost:8086/api/v2/telegrafs/0af7bb2bbd6cc000": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8086: connect: connection refused
Why is the connection refused?
I hope you can help to find the error.
Thanks a lot.
With regards
Christian

I know it’s 1 year since the problem occurred to you and by now you would have resolved it, but i just started in IT.
