error creating ifluxdb pod

[ruslantagirov]

Hi. I am testing dployment of Jmeter on OKD 4.7 and getting an error on Influxdb pod, which is defined by influxdb deployment config:
mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/lib/influxdb2/engine': Permission denied (from logs)
and the pod is in CrashLoopBackOff state because of this error.
Are there any solutions on this?

I got this error as well. You need to run the pod with a service account with elevated access, such as the one in the cluster create script but for influxdb:

oc create serviceaccount useroot

oc adm policy add-scc-to-user anyuid -z useroot

oc patch dc/influxdb --patch '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"serviceAccountName": "useroot"}}}}'
