InfluxDB write failed: connection refused

madlan · March 19, 2022, 8:22pm

Hi,

I’ve setup a test account using the cloud option (Google) and copied the example Arduino code to an ESP32, but get the below error.

INFLUXDB_URL, INFLUXDB_TOKEN, INFLUXDB_ORG and INFLUXDB_BUCKET appear correct.

INFLUXDB_URL = “https://europe-west1-1.gcp.cloud2.influxdata.com”
INFLUXDB_ORG = InfluxDB UI → User → About → Common Ids → Organization ID.
INFLUXDB_BUCKET = “Test”

Connection with debug on:

Any idea what I’ve done wrong?

@madlan, just to be sure, do you pass InfluxDbCloud2CACert to the InfluxDBClient constructor, and do you have time synchronization before writing data?

madlan · March 21, 2022, 11:57am

@VlastaHajek Thanks for replying, yes, time is synced correct:

Syncing time...

Constructor is:

Thanks a lot for the info.
Did the validation connection finish correctly?
What is your ESP32 Arduino Core version?

madlan · March 21, 2022, 1:11pm

I’m using Arduino IDE 1.8.19 and 2.0.2 ESP32 Core (I’ve just done a clean install of both):

Here is the full output, seems connected ok?

ESP32 Arduino Core 2.0.2 has an issue with repeated TLS connection. This issue is already fixed in the master.
You can either downgrade ESP32 Arduino Core to 2.0.1 or apply the fix in your environment by simply copying the fixed file:

Download ssl_client.cpp
Find location of the ESP32 Arduino Core libraries folder on your system. On Windows it is: C:\Users\<your-user-name>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\2.0.2\Libraries
Copy downloaded ssl_client.cpp to the libraries\WiFiClientSecure\src\ssl_client.cpp
Rebuild the sketch

Great - works perfectly with the latest master.
