Provider fails if it can’t ping a non-yet-provisioned influxdb instance

[paulgrav]

The influxdb Terraform provider attempts to sanity check and ping test the url value in the provider block. This is problematic when Terraform has even begun to provision a influxdb instance.

I think any checking/pinging should be delayed until the influxdb resources are run.

Terraform Version

Terraform v0.11.7

• provider.azurerm v1.11.0
• provider.grafana v1.0.2
• provider.influxdb v1.0.1
• provider.random v1.3.1

Affected Resource(s)

provider "influxdb"

Terraform Configuration Files

provider "influxdb" {
  url      = "http://${azurerm_container_group.hydra-loadtestdb-cg.ip_address}:8086"
  username = "admin"
  password = "${random_string.influx_admin_pass.result}"
}

Expected Behavior

Provider should not assume that an InfluxDB has already been provisioned. InfluxDB resources should begin provisioning once dependencies have completed.

Actual Behavior

Provider attempts to ping test an InfluxDB has has yet been provisioned. Terraform apply command fails.

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:
