Hello,  
Can you please guide why I get this error in node-RED debug: I am running node-RED on my industrial raspberry pi based device & want to get data over my PC running Influx DB server.

Can you write to InfluxDB using its command line client? Also have you tried writing data using the REST API?

You have 4 input nodes wired to the InfluxDB node, what payload do they produce?

The error is that the request (write) timed out. So you need to identify if it can actually connect and if it can why it is too slow.

Check to see if the database your created with your top flow exists, can you read/write from a different machine?

If you type sudo "systemctl status influxdb" on the command line of the machine running InfluxDB you can see if it is running:

Is there a firewall running on your windows machine, and if yes does it allow incoming connections from that "industrial raspberry pi" device?

We can't see the details of course, you need to look at those entries for Influx. You also need to know whether your local network is running as a private (home/work) or public (typically wifi) network.

Go to the details page for your current network connection. Currently, I am on a corporate guest WiFi:
