Meteobridge RPi "Stalling" Weather Network Uploads. **solved**

[grwkak]

Updated to the latest version with the Aurora cloud dashboard. Couple of times now I have found it has stopped uploading data to weather networks. There is nothing in the log indicating an issue, but the upload status indicates the last uploads were hours ago (and were successful). An example below. Its 7:29am here and the last upload seems to be around 1am. Rebooting usually fixes the stall. I have not rolled back my version yet - but this started directly after updating. Data is still being recorded locally and connections to sensors are good.

It was good this morning after a reboot yesterday. The last time, it took about two days until it happened. I changed the upload interval for the Aurora cloud from 2 to 5 minutes, just in case there were too many uploads.

Other than that, not sure of the cause.

Does buffer shown on "System - Info" tab fill up over time?
If so you are sending something too often or do too much retries.

Right now it says:

1 days, 11 hours, 43 minutes Buffer: 2 items (0%)

So seems fine, but will monitor.

when you give me a remote login once it occurs again, I could further investigate.

Thanks, I would email next time with credentials. I assume no reboot to restart the uploads?

yes, exactly.

@admin

seems I have a stalling situation. Buffer is filling - I will email credentials for you to look if you could.

Uptime: 3 days, 8 hours, 52 minutes Buffer: 26 items (3%)

I found the reason. On your RPI install the ssl version of wget can get stalled under certain circumstances. I built a timeout wrapper around the call, that terminates operation after some time. By doing so the event is removed that blocks the queue from being processed.

Thanks! Took a while to show - I also had issues with my web server and FTP that required a reboot to check.
