error when trying to start Kapacitor with and without Morgoth

[CJosePhD]

Installed go (v1.92) kapaccitor (v1.4) influxdb(v1.3.8) getting error on kapacitor startup
ERROR:

I also saw an error when trying to use Morgoth with the 1.5.1 version of InfluxDB and Kapacitor V1.4.1. What I added to the kapacitor.conf file were the following lines:
[udf.functions]
[udf.functions.morgoth]
prog = "/home/ubuntu/go_workspace/bin/morgoth"
timeout = "10s"

The error I see when starting is as follows:

I faced this issue when I setup the http proxy due to which it was unable to connect to db
