Hi
I have TICK stack configured in a server in orther to test it.
I have installed influx, kapacitor and chronograf in dockers but telegraf service is running on the machine.
As port 8086 is already in use, I have configure new port 8087. In docker compose file the option will be 8087:8086 and port 8087 is exposed. Also I gave influx container a hostname: influxdb
But when I try to connect telegraf service to database, using url=[http:influxdb:8087] I get an error:
W! [outputs.influxdb] when writing to [http://influxdb:8087]: database “tick” creation failed: Post http://influxdb:8087/query: dial tcp: lookup influxdb: no such host.
I tried to change the connection to localhost
W! [outputs.influxdb] when writing to [http://localhost:8087]: database “tick” creation failed: Post http://localhost:8087/query: EOF
But if I try with container IP it works.
How can I make telegraf connection works with container name?
You can’t use the container name outside of the docker network. Instead, as you’re publishing the port locally on 8087; you’ll need to use localhost:8087 in your Telegraf configuration
Thanks for your response.
I tried to use localhost:8087, but I get following error:
W! [outputs.influxdb] when writing to [http://localhost:8087]: database “tick” creation failed: Post http://localhost:8087/query: EOF
I have also try to perform a query to influxdb and I get this error
Query:
curl -G -u user:pass http://localhost:8087/query --data-urlencode “q=SHOW DATABASES”
Response:
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
