All nodes inactive

[robinelvin]

I decided to add an external feed to emoncms.org today and that all worked fine. Whilst I was in the admin page on my local Emoncms I hit the “Update emonPi” button which said it would update on the next cron run but appeared to do nothing after that. Then I noticed that my feeds had all stopped. Not being able to see anything wrong I decided to reboot the Pi to see if it showed anything. Now all my nodes are inactive.

The emonhub.log only has a single entry from April:

2016-04-16 14:17:26,398 CRITICAL MainThread Error parsing config file "/home/pi/data/emonhub.conf": Parsing failed with several errors.
First error at line 238.

This is node 5 emonPi which after searching for a similar issue on the old forum looks to be correct.

What should I check next?

EDIT: It looks like the nodes configurations were duplicated 3 times so I’ve edited to make sure there is only one definition of each. I now have the emonTX node back but the emonPi node is still inactive. I don’t know if that’s right but at least data is being logged again.

I have a similar problem:
after 16 months of great work of my emonpi with internal emoncms, I try to use the remote one on emoncms.org to be able to monitor my solar plant remotely. It seams work for a couple of day but us I’m not able to see any more the local monitoring and the remote one is too slow for my wife I decide to come back to the local one.
Here start my problem.
I suppose that remove the API key is enough but it not work, this stop only the remote emoncms data.
i try to restart the emopi, I try to update the emonpi, and last tentative to factoryreset.
No result.
Now I have all node inactive, no measure valid.
this is my emonhub.log view on emonpi:

2016-12-21 22:53:10,315 CRITICAL MainThread Error parsing config file "/home/pi/data/emonhub.conf": Parsing failed with several errors.
First error at line 162.

this is my emoncms.log view on emonpi:

I’m thinking to create a new sd card to restart from zero, can I use the latest one as I have the first release of emonpi?

Any help is appreciate.

There is a problem (starting?) on line 162 of emonhub.conf.

Can you show us your emonhub.conf (obscure any apikeys) ?

ok it is quite long

Line 162 is where you start repeating the node definitions - and they are different! You should have only one definition for each node. (I count 3 of each.)

[Pierluigi_Dall_Osto]

Sorry Paul,
First of all thanks for answer me, and sorry for my bad English.
I see on the config that all node are repeated 3 time i remove repetition nothing changes and i remove also the MQTT part as i see a lot of error unfortunately with no result.
as an additional info the emonpi version displayed on LCD at start up is 8.26

[Pierluigi_Dall_Osto]

Thanks Robert,
I did not touch them, it’s appear after i activate the enomcms.org.
I see them and try to remove, no changes
I try to add the default one now.

any ideas

[pb66 (Paul)]

Well both logs seem to report issues with MQTT, do you have Mosquitto running? are there any logs for Mosquitto?

[Pierluigi_Dall_Osto]

no mosquitto installed,
I have the original emonpi of may 2015, with 2 CT and one voltage sensor that’s all,
I suppose that the MQTT is some development that have to be not activate on my installation (at least as is now). but how to stop it?

[Pierluigi_Dall_Osto]

Can I download the last SD image and update everything?
Is it compatible with my emonpi version?
I made a backup of all data.

[pb66 (Paul)]

As far as I recall Mosquitto has been installed on every SD image since the emonPi was released so you should have it.

However the earlier images had the Nodes module which is no longer supported, the MQTT input of emonCMS has been changed significantly and the MQTT implementation in the emonpi variant of emonHub altered to suit those changes.

If you have your data backed up, I think perhaps you would be better off investing your time in to personalizing a fresh image rather than trying to fix a broken and out of date image.

[Pierluigi_Dall_Osto]

Thanks Paul,
I’m not so familiar with software in general and “linux command” is a unknown world.
In any case I update the SD with latest version. Process is gone correctly.
Now i get the node running at least I see the value.
Inputs:

    Node	Key	Name	Process list	Updated	Value			
    emonpi	power1			-0s ago	181			
    emonpi	power2			-0s ago	-6.00			
    emonpi	power1pluspower2			-0s ago	175

This is good.
but now I’m not able to setup the feeds
following the setup procedure I get this error when I try to add a new feed as a “Log to feed”

ERROR: Feed could not be created, undefined

Could you tell me why?
I made a emonpi restart and also an update as suggested on some post on community, but with no result.

what I understand is that the RFM2pi get wrong data and discard some strings (but there is nothing connected!) the measured power1, power2,… is correct (it is night time). this means that the hardware part work correctly.

[if it is not correct to post here, please suggest me how to change/move the discussion.]

Unfortunately not, this has been reported before but it is unclear why it has happened. See these 2 posts

[RESOLVED] ERROR: Feed could not be created, undefined

Good morning. I am using an emontx3 and an emoncms I have just downloaded the newest emonpi image and flashed it to the SD card, I believe correctly… However when I try and create new feeds for local recording from the inputs, which I can see updating, I get the error…Feed could not be created, undefined.

Are you by any chance using any odd characters in the feed names? try something simpler to see if it works eg “myfeed”, the feed names can be changed again afterwards.

[Pierluigi_Dall_Osto]

Hi, thanks for your support,

@pb66

Are you by any chance using any odd characters in the feed names? try something simpler to see if it works eg “myfeed”, the feed names can be changed again afterwards.

no odd characters there are no feeds at all.
something strange happen when i open the feeds page. The page display “loading…” for a long time.

To avoid mistake I download a new image for an other mirror and rebuilt the SD.
No changes.

The only thing that I’m able to do is to add a feed out of “main” one, but after that I’m not able to see them. feed page still stay on “loading…”
even if i try to remove all feed from the node process.

I’m a bit lost
