Description
There are a few errors that InfluxDB scrapers can return (OSS-only) that we should explain and help users troubleshoot.
- Unable to gather
- Unable to gather list of points
- Unable to write gathered points

Research direction
Start with the linked gather/scheduler.go source to understand where the three scraper errors are produced. Review the linked scrape-data and troubleshooting pages, then document the causes and troubleshooting steps for each error, limited to InfluxDB OSS; done means users can use the guide to diagnose all three cases.
