Server stopped working

5of97 years ago

Hi, yesterday my server 3.17 stopped working with this in the tracker-server.log:

2018-06-03 17:55:44  WARN: Geocoding failed - java.util.concurrent.TimeoutExcept
ion: Request timed out to maps.googleapis.com/172.217.21.234:443 of 60000 ms - E
xecutionException (...)

It worked again when I restarted it today but until this moment it just accepted the messages from the trackers like this:

2018-06-03 23:58:03 DEBUG: [59C2D1D6: 5032 < 80.187.100.111] HEX: 3130.....

But didn't wrote them into the database, so all requests during this error are lost?!
What could be the problem?
Thank you

I hear two issues. If Traccar stop working you have to check wrapper log file. As for the second issue, I need to see log fragment with full HEX message and a few lines around it.

Hi,
it wasn't a full stop of the server, the website still worked, but the positions get no longer updated.
Here the only entry of the wrapper:
/opt/traccar/logs/wrapper.log.20180603

INFO|1019/0|Service traccar|18-06-03 22:39:00|[HikariPool-1 housekeeper] WARN co

Issue in wrapper log means that Traccar doesn't have enough resources. As for the decoding problem, it seems like you have problem with connecting to Google API, so I would recommend disabling it.

5of97 years ago

I changed the resources from ~250mb to ~650mb ram for wrapper but till now it stopped working two more times. Is it possible to get the accepted but not imported positions into the database or are they lost? Why doesn't it stop fully to prevent accepting messages and doing nothing with them? Do you know a way to restart the service automaticaly in such a case?

5of97 years ago

Updated to openjdk 11 and wrapper has now access to 850mb ram, but doesn't ever uses it, not during working time and not when it hangs. The case that it accepts messages but doesn't use them is pretty bad, because they're all lost, if it wouldn't accept them, the tracker would save them itself... Is there a way to get those not processed messages processed later? Would be a good thing for a new version!?

Java 11 is no even released yet. I would recommend using Java 8 or 9.

How many devices do you have?

5of97 years ago

But it seems that it doesn't hang that often with the latest java version of Ubuntu 18.04...
I have 8 devices, and 3 of them working continously, between 1000 and 5000 messages a day

It stopped again yesterday with no comprehensibly reason. Do you need any more logfiles or something like that to comprehense that problem? Or do you want me to test anything else?
Thank you

Not sure what you can try, but from your logs I can see that there are some network issues:

Request timed out to maps.googleapis.com/172.217.21.234:443 of 60000 ms

Maybe you should investigate those.

5of97 years ago

But these had been with 3.16, too...

5of96 years ago

Hi,
the error is gone... I changed back to Java 8 and gave the wrapper now over 1GB RAM, but despite that I made a script started by a cronjob which restart the server in case there is no position update for more than a hour, maybe others find this useful:

#!/bin/bash
LastPositionTime=`echo "SELECT servertime FROM positions ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1;" | mysql gps -u gps | tail -n 1`

JETZT=`date --date='now' +%s`

ANFANG=`date --date="$LastPositionTime" +%s`

echo Letzte Positionsmeldung vor $(( $JETZT - $ANFANG)) sec.
echo Letzte Position von $LastPositionTime

if [ $(( $JETZT - $ANFANG)) -gt 4200 ]; then

echo "Traccar Neustart wegen: Last Position at $LastPositionTime" | /usr/bin/mail -s "Traccar Neustart" florian@mailserver.????

systemctl restart traccar.service
