Hey, all. I’m trying to send logstash output to my local InfluxDB. Logstash seems to be unable to find my local InfluxDB. I know this because InfluxDB is not receiving any post or write requests from the logstash file, when I check the logs. I get this error from the logstash logs. E, [2017-06-22T1…

Also, I am running this locally, not in any containers or anything.

Is influx bound to localhost, all hosts (e.g. 0.0.0.0), or is an explicit IP like 192.0.2.1? Binding to a specific IP typically means the service is not available when connecting to localhost.

Pinging it was a success. Garretts-MacBook-Pro:~ garrett$ curl -i localhost:8086/ping HTTP/1.1 204 No Content Content-Type: application/json Request-Id: 35432804-5796-11e7-8001-000000000000 X-Influxdb-Version: v1.2.4 Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2017 22:00:30 GMT
