I previously installed Influxdb and telegraf on a windows2019 server for testing and it have worked well. Now I have installed a second influxdb in a OpenShift pod that uses https for communication. I have connected to the new database by using “InfluxDB Studio” and I can create new databases and add/edit data from there.
The only thing I had to do was to check the “SSL” box when creating the connection to the database.
But I can’t get telegraf to write any data to the new database. I edited the config-file and updated the url but no connection, I also tried altering “insecure_skip_verify” to true/false/comment but nothing changes.
This is the errors I get:
