Hi,

After todays update I get the folowing fault:

This fault started after the opdate!

ever figure this out? I’m having the exact same issue

Same here, this issue remains. Does does end up going into InfluxDB, as I can see it in Grafana, but the log is full of these 401 entires.

Just to keep this alive - have the same issue now.

I’ve installed InfluxDB just now and have the same problem!

First time ever I try to setup InfluxDB to try and work with grafana and getting the same error and can’t find a solution…

7

also having this error

8

I had the “error reading InfluxDB. Status Code: 401” issue as well.
I had just installed the InfluxDB and Grafana Addons for the first time.

The solution that worked for me was to go into the Configuration tabs for BOTH of the addons and disable the SSL toggle, and restart the addons.

I then deleted and recreated my datasource in Grafana.
(I’m not certain if recreating was required.)

Just a reminder to anyone still having trouble with this. The default is pointed to either localhost or Grafana cloud, so make sure you’re setting the proper host and port settings in your yaml file.

today i also installed influxdb for the first time.

I had the same issue and tried everything i found online:
Disabled ssl
changed the port nr
changed the hostname
nothing did really help.

Then i recreated the db and the user.
This time both in plain text no numbers or signs.

That solved my problem.
I hope this is usefull for someone.
