Just changed from a 5 minute WLIP upload to 1 minute and the "LPS" blows out to a very repetitive 4 second cycle with some periods of 2 seconds

[Mattk]

Message log after WLIP set to 10 minute uploads. A trend I see in this is 4 seconds * ~ 10 minutes

On my setup, after about 24 hours of observation, I do not see "Connection reset by peer" messages, but I see THREE "LPS: Bad file descriptor" messages every time the WLIP is allowed to upload data to WeatherLink.com. For example, when the WLIP is set to upload data every 5 minutes, I see the following behavior:

...

As can be seen in the log above, there are three consecutive "LPS: Bad file descriptor" messages every 5 minutes.

Thanks.

[chrysnic]

After testing the "Jul 20 2016, build 10195" release, I can confirm that there are no more "LPS: Bad file descriptor" messages.

However, there are now sporadic (but many) "Connection reset by peer" error messages. The gap between these error messages is NOT constant (i.e., it can be every 10 minutes, but it could also be longer, from what I have observed).

My MB Pro is currently set to allow the WLIP to upload data to weatherlink.com every 1 minute.

Here is a snippet from the log:

Hello,

This is just a friendly reminder to the admin about this "Connection reset by peer" issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated

After observing the log for a few weeks, these error messages keep repeating all the time (several times per hour).

Thanks.

[admin]

I don't have a WLIP to test with.

[chrysnic]

Would it help if I gave you access to my MB Pro?

[chrysnic]

This is a friendly reminder to the admin (my last post was on 10 Aug). As a reminder, the "Connection reset by peer" messages are non-stop. I have noticed that the MB Pro hangs every 7-10 days, which requires a reboot. Of course, I do not know if this behavior is related to the continuous "Connection reset by peer" messages (maybe it is totally unrelated).

Anyway, since the admin mentioned that he does not have a WLIP to test with, I would be more than happy to give him access to my MB Pro (if that would be helpful).

Thanks.

[admin]

yes, please do. Please send credentials to "info(at)meteobridge.com".

[chrysnic]

Thanks, I have just emailed you the access info.

[admin]

Looks like latest release has the problem fixed. Solution was to increase wait period to allow weatherlink server uploads from 15 to 20 secs. Please keep in mind, that when this is allowed every minute you will have data receiving gaps of nearly 30 secs each minute.
