Traccar 5.9 restarts several times during the day.

Antonio Juniora year ago

Dear sirs, could anyone help me with this situation that is occurring with traccar? The same restarts several times and looking through the log I see this problem below. I have a VPS with the following configurations: 6GB of RAM, 4VCPU and 170 devices. Thank you in advance for any information that could reverse this situation.

What did you check sofar ?
Not reaching CPU or memory limits ? (you can check that with Top or Htop)
Meaby a Cron job that closed the process ?

@Track-trace The CPU and memory limits are soft as shown in the top. Thanks for the help, but any suggestions on where I can check?

Have you checked logs?

Antonio Juniora year ago

Excuse my ignorance Anton, are you referring to Traccar's own logs? Could you please suggest a specific search? Thanks!

You have to check what happened around the time server restarted.

Antonio Juniora year ago

Anton, the time it restarted was 12/16/2023 at around 8:12 am, the closest thing I found in the logs would be this error. I even re-validated the configuration XML files on this site as seen in another topic you suggest. Validation OK.

Hi Anton, could you help me please? Would commenting whatchdog in systemd help?

Anton Tananaeva year ago

You can try.

Trackera year ago

watchdog commented did not resolve.

Cristiana year ago

only Traccar fails? what about the other processes? mysql apache ssh? did you check it?

Antonio Juniora year ago

These processes failed but not necessarily at the time the traccar stopped working.

Maybe you have pending O.S. updates?
If so, the recommendation is to proceed with care since an O.S. update can leave obsolete processes, it is necessary to look for a lot of information before proceeding.

Antonio Juniora year ago

The OS is updated!
