@jackzampolin Thank you.This is the output I got when run journalctl -u influxdb after start the service May 18 09:00:09 : influxdb.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE May 18 09:00:09 : Unit influxdb.service entered failed state. May 18 09:00:09 : influxdb.service failed. May 18 09:00:09 : influxdb.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart. May 18 09:00:09 : start request repeated too quickly for influxdb.service May 18 09:00:09 : Failed to start InfluxDB is an open-source, distributed, time series database. May 18 09:00:09 : Unit influxdb.service entered failed state. May 18 09:00:09 : influxdb.service failed. And here is the status when I run influxdb manually with influxd (it seems to be working fine).
