Changing the port that InfluxDB admin website uses #5192

Closed tihomir-kit closed 8 years ago

tihomir-kit commented 8 years ago

Hi,

is there a way to change the port that the administration website is using to fetch the data? We have a couple of VM's that are behind the same DNS but are on different ports. This works if I programmatically query the data but as soon as I try to go to the Web GUI that's on a non-default port, the website tries to connect to 8086 which means it's actually connecting to the wrong database.

Any way to set this up?

I'm using Influx v0.9.6 and I tried changing ports in bind-address fields for both admin and http sections in influxdb.conf

This is the error that I get through the web interface:

0 error - Could not connect to http://domain.com:8086
Hint: the InfluxDB API runs on port 8086 by default

Also, I see that the port is set in the admin.js, but I can't find that file on my filesystem on the VM so I guess it's probably a part of the website binary (not sure how you build and package the admin GUI). Is there a way to modify the admin.js on the fly?

Thanks

Ok, I feel a bit stupid right now, the "settings" section that shows up when you click the cog in the upper-right corner allows you to specify the port, not sure how I missed that.. Sorry for that. Although it would be nice if one was able to set it up through the config as well.

I was bitten by it as well. :-(
