failed to fetch all organizations

Error message

failed to fetch all organizations

What it means

errFetchOrganization is returned by ListOrganization when the call to the InfluxDB organizations API fails for any reason (network error, auth failure, server error). The datasource wraps the failure with this sentinel instead of propagating the raw client error, so the underlying cause is lost unless logged inside.

Solutions

1. Check InfluxDB connectivity and URL in the datasource config
2. Verify the auth token used by the InfluxDB client is valid and has org-read scope
3. Check server logs / InfluxDB health endpoint; add logging of the wrapped cause
4. Add retry with backoff for transient network failures

Example fix

// before
orgs, err := client.ListOrganization(ctx) // err: "failed to fetch all organizations"
// after
if err != nil {
    logger.Errorf("list orgs failed: %v", err)
    // check config URL/token, then retry
}

// preflight
if err := client.HealthCheck(ctx); err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("influx unreachable: %w", err)
}

orgs, err := client.ListOrganization(ctx)
if err != nil {
    logger.Errorf("list organizations: %v", err)
    return retry.WithBackoff(func() error {
        _, err = client.ListOrganization(ctx)
        return err
    })
}

When it happens

Trigger: ListOrganization(ctx) when the InfluxDB client returns an error — unreachable server, invalid token, wrong org endpoint, timeouts.

Common situations: InfluxDB not running or wrong URL in config; expired/missing auth token; DNS or firewall issues; InfluxDB version mismatch breaking the API path.
