der_tobi · July 30, 2021, 11:35am

Hi all,
yesterday my influxdb has stopped working after an update…
log errors (plenty) are:

tried several times to restart, stop-start influx with systemctl which outputs:

See "systemctl status influxdb.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

i can however manually start the database with
sudo influxd run -config /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf…

Anybody having the same error since yesterday?

der_tobi · July 30, 2021, 1:33pm

for anyone having the same problem here’s a workaround atm:

Home_Agecra · July 31, 2021, 11:32pm

Thank you for this! I’m having the same problem as well after the update, now the error messages related to InfluxDB are all gone after following this workaround.

samtd · August 1, 2021, 11:27am

I solved the problem changing file permissions.

sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/influxdb/scripts/influxd-systemd-start.sh
sudo systemctl restart influxdb.service

habau · August 3, 2021, 4:28am

Fixed it for me - thanks @samtd

der_tobi · August 3, 2021, 5:52am

Thx @samtd!
I‘ve tried it with the ‚fix permissions‘ -option via openhabian-config previously and that didn‘t work. Perhaps someone could add your fix to it

Mario084 · August 5, 2021, 11:10am

thanks - solved my problem aswell!

mstormi · August 6, 2021, 8:34am

Why don’t you do it yourself ? Open Source is Give and Take.

And if you had used an up to date version of openHABian, it would have corrected the permissions.

der_tobi · August 6, 2021, 10:01am

I allways update my openhab to the lates stable version…
Don‘t know how to change the source and just wanted to be helpful🤷‍♂️

mstormi · August 6, 2021, 10:15am

This is about openHABian not openHAB. The ‘stable’ openHABian branch is for OH2 only.
As I said with the latest openHABian version it would have worked. You didn’t even mention the versions and branches you use so we cannot know if that’s really the right and latest one.

mstormi · August 7, 2021, 9:02pm

Simple, all code is on Github. Any help is welcome so if you really want to be helpful then just put up a Pull Request.

peaeater · October 15, 2021, 6:22pm

I just did a

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot

and I got the follwing error as well

2021-10-15 20:16:14.814 [ERROR] [org.influxdb.impl.BatchProcessor    ] - Batch could not be sent. Data will be lost

	at org.influxdb.impl.InfluxDBImpl.execute(InfluxDBImpl.java:831) ~[bundleFile:?]

The suggested solution did not work for me.

Is there an option to export my already done work in OH3, because in openhabian_conf in the menu option 4 there seems to be a possibility to “Import an openHAB 3 configuration from file or URL”

I found the option to save the config and restore again → So may be better for me to start again

Then I would do a clean install.

Or any other suggestion how to fix this error now in a way that future updates keep working

Problem after upgrading packages

opened 09:15PM - 01 Aug 21 UTC

Hello, I had an influx database to manage sensors data in the building. I am a… complete beginner. Everything worked fine for 2 years. Today, after updating packages in raspbian and influx it does not work. I have messages: Failed to connect to http://localhost:8086: Get http://localhost:8086/ping: dial tcp [::1]:8086: connect: connection refused Please check your connection settings and ensure 'influxd' is running. After `sudo systemctl start influxdb` is Job for influxdb.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status influxdb.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. And after `systemctl status influxdb.service` i have: ● influxdb.service - InfluxDB is an open-source, distributed, time series database Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/influxdb.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2021-08-01 23:11:23 CEST; 1min 12s ago Docs: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/ Process: 981 ExecStart=/usr/lib/influxdb/scripts/influxd-systemd-start.sh (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) sie 01 23:11:23 raspberrypi systemd[1]: influxdb.service: Service RestartSec=100ms expired, scheduling restart. sie 01 23:11:23 raspberrypi systemd[1]: influxdb.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5. sie 01 23:11:23 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Stopped InfluxDB is an open-source, distributed, time series database. sie 01 23:11:23 raspberrypi systemd[1]: influxdb.service: Start request repeated too quickly. sie 01 23:11:23 raspberrypi systemd[1]: influxdb.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. sie 01 23:11:23 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Failed to start InfluxDB is an open-source, distributed, time series database. What happend, can you help me?

peaeater · October 15, 2021, 10:52pm

If I understand that github thread, then everything should be solved with influx version 1.8.10 Right?

I have due to the apt-get update and upgrade now the version

influx -version
InfluxDB shell version: 1.8.10

So it seem to me that this version is not working even if I set the sleep from 1 to 10 I have the same problem.

Tuny · October 16, 2021, 7:08am

Yes you are right. On my system with version 1.8.9 it worked putting the sleep parameter to 10.
I also upgraded to 1.8.10 on my testsystem without problem.

What is the output of this:

influxd

and this:

sudo systemctl status influxdb

peaeater · October 16, 2021, 11:52am

So then a new install may not fix the problem?

The output is

Do they all belong to influxd:influxdb ?

I just started influx manually and I get following after entering also “journalctl -xe”

Has anybody an idea what I could try next?

I have the following options:

uninstall influx and reinstall, via apt-get
Complete new install of openhabian an play back of my old configuration → I probably will lose my databases
change the /usr/lib/influxdb/scripts/influxd-systemd-start.sh script to an older version. I found some thread telling that this may work

Actual contend of influxd-systemd-start.sh is

#!/bin/bash -e

/usr/bin/influxd -config /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf $INFLUXD_OPTS &
PID=$!
echo $PID > /var/lib/influxdb/influxd.pid

PROTOCOL="http"
BIND_ADDRESS=$(influxd config | grep -A5 "\[http\]" | grep '^  bind-address' | cut -d ' ' -f5 | tr -d '"')
HTTPS_ENABLED_FOUND=$(influxd config | grep "https-enabled = true" | cut -d ' ' -f5)
HTTPS_ENABLED=${HTTPS_ENABLED_FOUND:-"false"}
if [ $HTTPS_ENABLED = "true" ]; then
  HTTPS_CERT=$(influxd config | grep "https-certificate" | cut -d ' ' -f5 | tr -d '"')
  if [ ! -f "${HTTPS_CERT}" ]; then
    echo "${HTTPS_CERT} not found! Exiting..."
    exit 1
  fi
  echo "$HTTPS_CERT found"
  PROTOCOL="https"
fi
HOST=${BIND_ADDRESS%%:*}
HOST=${HOST:-"localhost"}
PORT=${BIND_ADDRESS##*:}

set +e
attempts=0
url="$PROTOCOL://$HOST:$PORT/health"
result=$(curl -k -s -o /dev/null $url -w %{http_code})
while [ "${result:0:2}" != "20" ] && [ "${result:0:2}" != "40" ]; do
  attempts=$(($attempts+1))
  echo "InfluxDB API unavailable after $attempts attempts..."
  sleep 1
  result=$(curl -k -s -o /dev/null $url -w %{http_code})
done
echo "InfluxDB started"
set -e
