Regular system crash

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Regular system crash

Post by Defenderdogs »

I have tried hard to diagnose this issue by myself but don't seem to be able to fix it. CMX seems to hang after a short period of time after which only a restart clears the issue, but it recurs after a similar period of time. From the attached log it looks like it is an FTP issue (I send files to my QNAP NAS via sFTP - this isn't a mission critical thing, I am not using the data for anything, more as a quasi-backup) but it seems to make a successful connection at the outset.

I am using a Rpi3. Can anyone let me know what's going on?

I don't see a crash in your logs - looks like the program was terminated normally.

It appears that MX makes SFTP connections to host 192.168.1.60 successfully initially.

There is then an issue transferring the realtime files:

Code: Select all

2023-06-05 20:05:33.709 Realtime[1]: Creating realtime.txt
2023-06-05 20:05:33.711 Realtime[1]: Creating realtime file - realtimegauges.txt
2023-06-05 20:05:33.720 Realtime[1]: Real time files starting
2023-06-05 20:05:33.727 SFTP[1]: Error uploading /Weather/realtime.txt : No such file
It looks like a path error to me, so the first thing I would do is to check the paths of the files you are attempting to transfer - you can do this in your MX interface.

Maybe I was exaggerating a smidgen using the term "crash" but the problem that causes me the issue is that the UI becomes inaccessible and I need to stop and restart the service. On the log I attached, for example, all connection with the WLL seemed to stop around 8.30. The ftp issue is there throughout and surely isn't the cause of the UI inaccessibility?

For what it's worth, the path SERVER/Weather is correct, but there seems to be a file it is looking for that isn't there. I am not too worried about this and will sort it if I can get a stable system!

If it is only to a host on your local network, why not use Extra Files to do a copy? I have eliminated ftp from my system because my webserver is local and Cumulus MX has been rock solid since
