Telegraf can't connect to influxdb

[zachjacobs]

I've tried to run the default sandbox app on both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04.2 with the same result. Is this a problem with the sandbox app or my usage?

I clone and type ./sandbox up

Hi Zach, I have the same problem. Did you get a solution for this?

FWIW - I had this issue on sandbox startup, but my data did end up successfully in influxdb.

Consider checking the influx logs for writes from telegraf:
./sandbox logs influxdb

You should see some regular writes from telegraf:
