Description
The overview provided on in this URL pertains to Cloud and not OSS
https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.0/tools/kapacitor/
For OSS you need to do a 'influx v1 auth create' with a password and use this password, not the token in kapacitor.conf.
The process is summarised in an earlier issue https://github.com/influxdata/kapacitor/issues/2476
btw if you following the instructions as currently outlined you will get an error 401 as the token length is too long
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Kapacitor instructions at https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.0/tools/kapacitor/ and compare them with the OSS authentication process summarized in Kapacitor issue 2476. Update the guidance to distinguish Cloud from OSS, use `influx v1 auth create` credentials for OSS, and prevent the reported 401 error.
