stevehoyt Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 @bpwwer Saw your post to benoit about a new version. The error is happening a lot today for some reason. I am seeing it about every 5 to 10 minutes today. Let me know when it is in the non production area and I will install. Steve
stevehoyt Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 @bpwwer Check with benouit I just had a couple errors with I believe the new software installed. I sent him all the log files
stevehoyt Posted November 10, 2023 Posted November 10, 2023 FYI @bpwwer it has been awhile since I posted about this... The problem seems to have largely gone away. I maybe, but not always, get 1 or 2 errors a day. The odd thing is that I get one like clock work at midnight every night.
bpwwer Posted November 10, 2023 Author Posted November 10, 2023 Those errors occur when the communication between the plug-in and the MQTT broker are disrupted. We did identify an issue where a plug-in could cause this internally. The fix for that issue was released a few days ago. However, there are many other ways that the communication can be disrupted that are not internal to the plug-in and cannot be resolved by plug-in authors or the interface library. That being said, I've been running this plug-in for about 4 weeks now with the fix and I've not seen a single issue. When something happens at the same time every day, it is usually something external to the plug-in that's causing that disruption. I.E. router reboot, dhcp server restart, etc. The reality is that those types of events effect your entire network, but it may just be the UDI system that notices them and reports it as an issue. The plug-in's are working correctly. They log the network error and then re-establish the connection and continue working as if nothing had happened. The only reason you even know that this happened is because we make use of the MQTT broker's built in facility to notify PG3 when a client (plug-in) connects and disconnects. We do that so that PG3 can send out notifications and set the plug-in status appropriately.
