Hi,

We're running a Revpi compact with Node-RED automation. We're getting random ethernet drop or regular freezing of the revpi. I'm actually tracking a memory leak in Node-RED at the moment, but this doesn't seems related to it. As you can see below, i'm recording the revpi cpu with Node-RED and Grafana via MQTT and we can see that the data has stopped being transmitted at some point. It doesn't seem to be related to high cpu usage.

By connecting a screen to the revpi, i've noticed that it had frozen. But last week, we had a similar issue but the revpi was still responding. So i'm guessing this is related to a connectivity issue.

This is the current dhcpcd.conf :

Code: Select all

interface wlan0
		metric 100
		
interface eth0
static ip_address=10.1.1.105/24
static routers=10.1.1.1

interface eth1
static ip_address=10.1.1.106/24
static routers=10.1.1.1

The wlan0 is a usb wifi dongle to access internet (download nodes on Node-RED).
The eth0 is our main ethernet connection connected to a PC on a LAN. The eth1 is the second ethernet port, used for debugging, but generally not connected to anything.
We are running the latest buster image, with Node-RED 2.2.2 and revpinodes-server 1.0.4.

I'm wondering if there is any log that I can read to start troubleshooting this?

Thanks in advance, best.

Hi,

I have almost the same problem.
Could you reach the RevPi via the eth1 when the eth0 stop?

Hi,

I once was able to communicate through the other port, but not on the next reboots.

I have since been able to operate continuously without interruption. I think the problem is related to the memory leak i was after. Using htop, i was able to locate it, and it is related to teamviewer. The problem in this post was not fixed : viewtopic.php?p=10188&hilit=teamviewer#p10188
Teamviewer still launches even when disabled from the UI. Stopping and disabling it frees memory :

I guess the problem was related to a lack of memory causing a freeze. But I need to log more to check that.

I can confirm that since i manually stopped and disabled the teamviewer agent, memory has stabilized and stopped leaking. This might be the problem from the start but I need more time to check for freezes and crashes.

I can now confirm that this is not due to Node-RED but was indeed caused by the teamviewer agent. The Revpi has been running for the past weeks without memory leaks, crashes or freezes.

Hi,

I disabled the teamviever agent too , it seems to be good now!
