Influxdb exporter failing to write to influxdb

[rprakashg-rh]

I'm getting this error from influxdb exporter

2025-05-14T04:26:54.591Z	info	internal/retry_sender.go:133	Exporting failed. Will retry the request after interval.	{"error": "Post \"http://ec2-35-93-134-225.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:8086/api/v2/write?bucket=vpac-metrics&org=redhat&precision=ns\": context deadline exceeded", "interval": "3.654402973s"}

Below is config snippet shows hostmetrics I'm trying to export to influx

My influx setup is basic/default

Any idea what causes this error?
