New emonSD release: emonSD-30Oct18 (Raspbian Stretch Pi3B+ compatible) :tada:

glyn.hudson · 2019-01-07T15:26:19.582Z

That would be great, thanks. Please post a link to your mirror and I will add it to the download page.

Ian999 · 2019-01-16T19:48:12.047Z

I have just installed this version on a new SD Card, expanded the card to the full 16Gb and then restored my backup from the old card.

When I click emonpi update, the EmonCMS > Writer status then changes to: Daemon is not running, start it at ~/scripts/feedwriter.

Update log attached.

Thanks

Ian

Did you enable SSH? If so try

sudo systemctl status feedwriter.service

(and please post output) then

sudo systemctl start feedwriter.service

followed by the status.

I wonder if the backup is taking a setting, the update changes it, but the restore overwrites it. @glyn.hudson @TrystanLea

I note this line in the log

restarting service-runner
service-runner: no process found

use the commands above on service-runner to check it’s status.

On the admin page next to the Server Information there is a copy to clipboard button. Please press that then paste the result into a message - no other formatting required.

Ah Ok that branch is on the older feedwriter cron job (strangely came across this this week).

I think first check the cron job

crontab -l

Ian999 · 2019-01-16T20:42:16.957Z

Seems like crontab is default

# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
#     
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line 
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
# 
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').# 
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
# 
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
# 
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
# 
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
# 
# m h  dom mon dow   command

borpin · 2019-01-16T20:49:41.128Z

One last try then I’m out of ideas (not familiar with the older feedwriter service)…

The command in the script to restart it is

sudo /etc/init.d/feedwriter restart

Ian999 · 2019-01-16T20:53:40.924Z

borpin:

sudo /etc/init.d/feedwriter restart

That works, but reboot of the feedwriter.service worked too!

 sudo /etc/init.d/feedwriter restart
 Log is turned off
 Restarting feedwriter (feedwriter.php was not running...)

Still doesn’t explain/help as to why the feed writer is not restarted after emonpi update button is pressed.

On the admin page next to the Server Information there is a copy to clipboard button. Please press that then paste the result into a message - no other formatting required.

But also note what the actual emoncms buffer status is, it changes on the live server info, but the copy and paste version always says “loading…” so it’s effectively meaningless.

See https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/rpi-3b-getting-hot-redis-high-cpu-…usage/8263?u=pb66 Whilst the admin page says "0 feed points pending write" in the Emoncms/buffer section ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5606042/44298091-c6fc7380-a2d4-11e8-94da-62cba641341b.png) the information copied by the "copy to clipboard" button reports "loading" ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5606042/44298114-16db3a80-a2d5-11e8-988a-da248f0a289e.png) I suspect one or the other is telling porkies

Ian999 · 2019-01-16T21:11:39.697Z

When the line below is showing, the buffer will continue increasing with a number of points to write.

Daemon is not running, start it at ~/scripts/feedwriter

borpin · 2019-01-16T22:43:17.247Z

pb66:

so it’s effectively meaningless.

Yes but I do not think that is fixable because of the way the Ajax call works. Just one to be lived with I suspect unless you could make a special call to the function and append the data at the end of the text buffer.

pb66 · 2019-01-16T23:01:07.261Z

I wasn’t aware of that.
No one has commented on the issue I raised.

If it can’t be reported (copied) accurately, it shouldn’t included. So the best fix would be to remove it I guess, even if only temporarily. Simples!

Greebo · 2019-01-16T23:04:19.888Z

borpin:

I don’t think feedwriter was ever cron based… it changed from SystemV Init based startup to systemd based startup… You’re thinking of service-runner (which was initially cron and changed to systemd)

borpin · 2019-01-16T23:09:43.301Z

Not as simple as that I suspect. The output HTML is copied by using a class ID

github.com

emoncms/emoncms/blob/ecc533e834e4f8f8d040b1eae983e5962d38e1ee/Modules/admin/admin_main_view.php#L291-L291


      
          <table class="table table-hover table-condensed" id="serverinformationtabular">

within that copied area is the ajax call to update the number in the buffer

github.com

emoncms/emoncms/blob/ecc533e834e4f8f8d040b1eae983e5962d38e1ee/Modules/admin/admin_main_view.php#L528-L528


      
          getBufferSize();

I suspect removing this section when copied might be well nigh impossible (but I’m no expert).

Greebo:

I don’t think feedwriter was ever cron based

Ah yes - getting myself confused.

@borpin I had a similar problem when updating emonBase (using emonSD-30Oct18). After update noticed feeds was not updating, so tried sudo systemctl status service-runner.service and also sudo /etc/init.d/feedwriter restart. All seemed OK…

Screenshot%20from%202019-01-25%2011-07-411127×286 55.3 KB

but still no feed updates.
But a reboot of the rPi fixed it.
