Hi everyone,
I’m facing an issue with some of my GPS devices, and I’m wondering if there’s a default throttling mechanism in play when devices send too many positions, such as one update per second.
Here’s the setup I configured:
Ignition On: Send updates every 25 seconds.
Ignition Off: Send updates every 10 minutes.
However, occasionally, some devices stop updating their position on the map, even though they remain online. The fix time and device time get stuck and never update. When I check the logs, the devices are still sending heartbeats and positions, but the map remains static.
The only solution that works for me so far is to restart the server. Upon further inspection of the logs, I noticed that these devices sometimes send positions as frequently as once per second. Most of these updates seem to be filtered out by settings like static filtering or minimum period.
I can’t pinpoint why these devices get stuck in this state. Could it be related to some throttling or internal limits on the server side? Or perhaps there’s another configuration I’m overlooking?
Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Are you hosting your own Traccar server?
Then no, there's no throttling by default.
