Emonhub Not Updating Arduino serial pulses, ADE9K SPI okay

I am using emonSD-30Oct18, Emoncms Version low-write 9.9.8.
For my Energy Data I am using a ADE9K SPI C++ EmonPI using snprintf( postcmd, 1024,"/usr/bin/curl,…etc to http://192.168.1.77/emoncms/input/post...etc)
about every 10 seconds.

For Water, Gas, Sump Pump runs I am using
Trystan Lea Arduino 12 input Pulse Counting Sketch.
The Arduino does a Serial.print about every 10 seconds.

It has been running for about 6 weeks so far.
It runs great, very accurate, but about
every 3 weeks the Emonhub stops updating the
Arduino serial pulses. SPI posting continues to work fine.

Rebooting the Pi from the Emoncms Adminstration resolves the problem.

The only thing I noticed so far is that the Swap → Memory
from the Emoncms Adminstration was at 93.05% before reboot.

I will continue to trouble-shoot, if anyone
had a similiar, I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in Advance.

Please put 3 backticks on a separate line before and after a quoted piece such as the conf file. Doing so prevents symbols within the file being interpreted as mark-up.

Thanks Robert, I started to correct, but noticed that you must of added the three backticks for me. Thank You. I also added a jpg attachment, but I did not see it when I looked at my post. I may not have attachment privileges. Not a problem, it was just a screenshot of Admin view of the Swap Memory at 93.05%.

You had uploaded a screenshot. I think it didn’t appear because of white space issues - I’d mistakenly put it inside the backticks. But we generally prefer to have the data copied and pasted where practical, rather than having an image.

This is an issue with /var/log filling up (clue is that swap is full). Update and it should be fixed I think.

There is a known issue that fills the log partition, eventually stopping emoncms updating. One of the symptoms is that swap space gets used, rarely gets used otherwise.

There have been some changes to the new emonhub service recently to elieviate that issue and they came in just after emoncms v10 so just running an update may fix this, it’s certainly a good place to start

Thanks pb66 borpin.
I updated from Emoncms from 9.9.8 to 10.0.2.
Checking disk (df -h) space before and after, confirms your replies that the var\log is filling up.

I won’t know for sure for about 3 more weeks, but this most likely the problem.

Thanks Much.

Odd, /var/log & /home/pi/data/ has gone from the output of df -h @pb66

The second pic has been posted in error I suspect. /var/tmp and /tmp are both missing, /boot is apparently on the 6th partition of the sdcard and the hostname is raspberrypi not emonpi, I doubt this is of an emonsd image at all.

Oops! The second picture was wrong. It was from a RPI3 running a 10.1" LCD for a Emoncms Local Display. It has been corrected in the post.
Thanks for catching that!
