Telegraf Helm Daemonset not connecting to InfluxDBCloud

1

Hey,

I am trying to use the Helm daemonset from helm-charts/charts/telegraf-ds/README.md at master · influxdata/helm-charts · GitHub with my influxdb cloud URL and token like

helm upgrade --install telegraf-ds \
  --set outputs.influxdb.urls=["https://eu-central-1-1.aws.cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/write?org=<orga>&bucket=<bucket>"] \
  --set outputs.influxdb.token="<token>" \
  influxdata/telegraf-ds

I am hoping to get resource insights from telegraf. For now I don’t really care whether it’s from the pod or the node; but I assume like this it shall collect data from the node and send it to influxDB.

Unfortunately I get

2024-11-20T08:00:05Z E! [outputs.influxdb] When writing to [http://influxdb.monitoring.svc:8086]: failed doing req: Post "http://influxdb.monitoring.svc:8086/write?db=telegraf": dial tcp: lookup influxdb.monitoring.svc on 10.96.0.10:53: no such host
2024-11-20T08:00:05Z E! [agent] Error writing to outputs.influxdb: could not write any address

Why is it trying to send data to a influxdb.monitoring service (which doesn’t) exist, rather then sending it to my specified URL? Do you have any hints?

regards

tried v2 cofigurations for cloud as well

outputs:
    - influxdb_v2:
        urls: ["https://us-west-2-1.aws.cloud2.influxdata.com"]
        bucket: "..."
        organization: "..."
        token: "..."

But i think nothing is sent…

2024-11-20T10:09:51Z E! [agent] Error writing to outputs.influxdb_v2: failed to send metrics to any configured server(s)
2024-11-20T10:09:59Z E! [inputs.docker] Error in plugin: permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.47/info": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied

I don’t get where this path is coming from

Any tipps on how to get it running with cloud version would be helpful
