Hi, TOTAL NOOB here. please explain like I am 2 not even 5.

Log is getting full, my uptime is 4days.

please help, diagnostics is attached.

s986-diagnostics-20231014-1109.zip

The syslog already rotated, so we cannot see the beginning of the issue, reboot, wait a while until the log starts being spammed and post new diags.

Would this help?

 

 

I'm seeing a lot of nchan memory issues:

Oct 14 05:06:23 s986 nginx: 2023/10/14 05:06:23 [error] 6448#6448: *4596212 nchan: error publishing message (HTTP status code 500), client: unix:, server: , request: "POST /pub/devices?buffer_length=1 HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost"

What isn't working in the GUI?  This would affect the refreshing of a webpage.

 

I would suggest booting in safe mode and see if it continues.  If looks to be something with Unraid because the channel is '/devices'.

Thanks for your replies,

I found another post in Dutch non the less, where one replied the netdata docker is causing this over write to syslog (The reply).

I deleted netdata docker and restarted the unraid, so far no red text as in no errors.

I will update here if log refills again,

however how much is normal for log size to be??

Thanks.  

It will vary but ideally it's around 10 to 20%

hi,

something is happening with memory and /devices!!

please see diagnostics I hope I captured it.

Did you try what I suggested?

 

 

I will tonight

I thought after deleting netdata all is good, I will start it in safe mode and report back.

 

question: can i use it normal in safe mode, or what should I expect or do?

You will have no dockers or plugins installed, so no.  You will be able to use the GUI.

 

Do you leave the GUI open on any device?

Log shows similar errors even in safe mode with no dockers and no plugins.

as for GUI, usually yes at least one GUI open sometimes more.

closed them all, so far running in normal boot not safe mode and no errors.

If errors occur I will save diagnostics and reboot in safe mode and monitor. till that error happens then I will upload diagnostics.

 

thanks for replies and support.

@JorgeB attached is normal boot 1 day 9 hours, I log out after each session. 

i only noticed below screen capture.

A single error is no reason for concern.
