Description

When I create an alert in Chronograf UI there is a a error displayed: There was a Problem createing "Name of the alert:" Error: failed to get InfluxDB client: no such InfluxDB config

When I list the Kapacitator tasks, the following is shown: kapacitor list tasks
ID Type Status Executing Databases and Retention Policies
chronograf-v1-aa37b64b-01ed-4bc4-b506-27c98ca96d37 stream enabled false ["telegraf"."one_day_only"]

If I show the detail about the task: kapacitor show chronograf-v1-aa37b64b-01ed-4bc4-b506-27c98ca96d37

Output:
kapacitor show chronograf-v1-aa37b64b-01ed-4bc4-b506-27c98ca96d37

Any hint how I can fix this are greatly appreciated!

Research direction

Start by reproducing alert creation in the Chronograf UI and inspect the reported Kapacitor task with `kapacitor list tasks` and `kapacitor show`. The issue names no source file or test; done would require identifying the missing InfluxDB configuration and confirming that alert creation and task inspection work without the error.
