Ping from cmd to main server is worrking. I am also add ports in firewalls. I searched a lot in the browser but I did not know the answer. Anybody can help me?

hi @Grzegorz welcome ! ,

can you try a telnet from the server where telegraf is running to the database server ?

telnet serverhostname influxdbport

or ping the influxdatabase with

curl -sl -I http://yourdatabasehost:8086/ping

can you check on the database server if influxdb is listening with

netstat -ntlp |grep -i influxd
3

I am working on Windows servers. Normal ping like " ping mydatabasehost" is working. Telnet “Could not open connection to the host, on port 8086: Connect failed”

4

Hi , is influxd up and running ? Can you connect tot the database on the server using the influx commandline interface ?

5

Yes running and i can

6

I am new in Grafanam telegraf etc. I seted up other servers and there everything is working. But these server are in the same subnet like a main server. Now i want connect with server who is other in subnet, it is possible?

7

The telnet to port 8086 failed which means the port is probably not open ?
Does a telnet to port 8086 work on the other server ?

8

Yes, on these other server working. On this server what i want connect right not. I add this port 8086 in firewall rules but still not working.

9

When i try “tracert mymainserver” on road are 3 servers, maybe that is a point?

10

I am afraid that I cannot help with network configurations , I don’t know much about it :frowning:

11

so am I :sweat_smile: Maybe someone can help me? :confused:

Hello,

first try to

curl -v http://YOURINFLUXHOST:8086/ping

If this is not working, your influxdb is not reachable (off, network problems etc)
If this is working, maybe your telegraf has problems with reconnects: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/5905

Greetings.

After curl:
curl : Unable to connect to the remote server
At line:1 char:1

  • curl -v http://10.16.66.177:445/ping 
  •   + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-WebRequest], WebExc

If 445 is really the right port, influxdb is not available here. Are you sure this is the right port?

So you either influxdb is not running or you have a network problem.

Try to debug from your host on 10.16.66.177 with

curl -v http://127.0.0.1:445/ping

and stuff like that

Okey It is problem with no open ports. I can’t do nothing because i am not a administrator of these servers.
We can end this post.
Thanks for help guys!
