Cannot connect to InfluxDB due to 'HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=8086): Max retries exceeded with url: /query?q=SHOW+DATABASES%3B (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fccb8a9be50>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused'))'.
