a) what do the InfluxDB logs on the machine at influx-ip-address tell you is going on at the same time? b) have you tried a packet capture for port 8086 on influx-ip-address to see whether it really is replying to telegraf correctly? c) can you describe the network setup between the machine running telegraf and the machine running InfluxDB? Regards, Antony. ---

a/ in influx machine i don’t have logs ! they are desactivated i think ! b/how to do capture ? c/machine running telegraf is on my internal network ! and the Influx server is on OVH ( Externel) I did monitoried more than 30 host using telegraf and this is the first time i got such an error ! ---

I doubt this will show up in the InfluxDB logs since the connection is not established: “canceled while waiting for connection”. I’d guess that most likely this is a firewall issue, make sure the remote system allows connections through on this port. ---

i’am sure that i’am monitoring my other hosts with the same way and it’s the first time i got that error i think that connectio between telegraf and influxdb is established but the agent cannot write to database !
