Failed to connect to xxx Get xxx/ping: dial tcp xxx Please check your ‘influxd‘ settings and ensure

  The error message you are seeing suggests that your application is unable to connect to the InfluxDB service running on localhost, specifically on port 8086.

• Here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check if InfluxDB is running: Use the command systemctl status influxdb or service influxdb status to check the status of the InfluxDB service. If the service isn’t running, you can start it with systemctl start influxdb or service influxdb start.
2. Verify the Port: By default, InfluxDB uses port 8086 for client-server communication over HTTP. Make sure that InfluxDB is configured to use this port and that no other services are using it. You can use the lsof -i :8086 command to check if the port is being used by InfluxDB.
3. Check for Firewall Rules: If there’s a firewall running on your system, make sure it isn’t blocking the connection to port 8086. You can modify your firewall rules to allow traffic to this port.
4. Examine InfluxDB Logs: If the InfluxDB service is running and you can’t connect, the next step is to check the InfluxDB logs for any error messages. The location of these logs depends on your operating system and configuration, but they’re often located in /var/log/influxdb.
5. Restart InfluxDB Service: If InfluxDB is running but you still cannot connect, try restarting the service. Sometimes a simple restart can solve connection issues. Use systemctl restart influxdb or service influxdb restart to restart the service.
6. Check Your Network Settings: If you’re trying to connect to InfluxDB from a different machine, make sure your network settings allow connections to the server hosting InfluxDB.

  If after following these steps you’re still experiencing problems, it would be helpful to get additional information about your setup. For example, knowing the version of InfluxDB you’re running, the operating system on which it’s installed, and any relevant configuration settings would be useful.
