CMX crashed this morning, stumbling during a realtime ftp upload - see attached log file.

Yesterday I made two modifications, although not sure this might just be coincidence.

1. Changed my weather station from a VP2 (via usb/serial) to a WLL getting the same ISS feed. The WLL has been operating without issue for most of this year (uploading to Weatherlink) but not as my CMX station - except on a couple of occasions as a trial, which were successful.

2. Then I added a newly purchased AirLink ... hence the reason for (1). This successfully uploads to Weatherlink. I think I have the airlink as a node of the WLL.

It was a bit of a fiddle (mainly due to my incompetence!) but all seemed to be working ... until about 2.5 hours later. The error is reminiscent of upload problems I have had previously that Mark resolved, although they usually were MySQL failures.

Any help would be appreciated

I'll try and find where there is some uncaught code, but the crash appears to be in mono due to a network disconnection during a MySQL operation.

There are quite a few recovered errors in that log due to network problems. The real-time FTP keeps getting socket closed errors and having to reconnect. There are also a couple of other MySQL errors due to network issues - but these are trapped by CMX.

I'm very grateful - thank you. I will go back to the web host people and see if there is anything at their end. The errors, when they do arise, all seem to happen around 23:00 - 02:00 but for the past few months these have been nicely dealt with. Unfortunately, there are a lot of factors that could influence uploads to the web host.

About 10 days have passed without another crash. I suspect in the process of changing the station and attaching the airlink I left either cmx or perhaps the rpi requiring one more reboot.

On the matter of the mysql errors, I have an alarm set for these with a threshold of 2. An alarm is triggered every 2 - 4 days. The tables often/perhaps usually get updated none-the-less. What is being counted towards the threshold? I am tempted to increase it a bit, but feel like I'm flying in the dark and not knowing what I am really doing ... like a lot of aspects of managing my weather station and website

The MySQL alarm is triggered if an unrecoverable error occurs during an Insert.
