"Data stopped" - help please!

From Cumulus MX version 3 build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since, and has recently released Cumulus MX version 4. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

"Data stopped" - help please!

Post by Defenderdogs »

I am experience regular "Data Stopped" issues and am struggling to work out why this is happening. A sample of the latest log shows the following (starting from the first thing that looks 'odd') -

It looks like it is telling me that the WLL isn't sending data, but at the bottom seems to be picking up the broadcast data. The monthly file is being updated every 5 minutes as I would expect.

The only thing that has changed recently is that I moved the system from a RPi3 to a slightly more powerful Odroid C2 running Ubuntu 20.04.

Can anyone help me sort this out?

Looks like the server that MX is running on is intermittently losing its network connection. There may be other evidence of this in your system log, or via journalctl.

You were right although I thought I had sorted that. Before I installed CMX I turned off all the power saving/sleep options in the UI and every time I checked after seeing the Data Stopped message, the network connection was active. It seems disabling the UI power saving options isn't enough, however, and I needed to disable a few more on the command line.

Looking more closely at the logs, it seems it was sleeping for a few seconds then waking up again. Am I correct that, if I uncheck the "Trigger DataStopped on Broadcast stop" option in the Station Settings, that CMX would 'recover' in the situation where the comms were down for just a few seconds?

That setting will not make any difference to how Cumulus recovers.
