Remove the ipmi plugin and contact the plugin author about the php errors.

 

Thanks for the speedy reply!

 

OK, removed the plugin and am reporting it to the author, but it still didn't fix the Open Files issue. Nothing is now showing in the PHP logs, and no errors/warnings in syslog. I rebooted after removing the plugin, but still have the same symptoms - it works when the array is stopped and when 1st started.  Once the Docker service is enabled (with no containers started), Open Files will sometimes work but most of the time it times out. And when any containers are started, it will always time out.

 

Anything else you can think of?

Post diagnostics.

Sorry, had a flare-up with some health issues so I haven't grabbed them yet. I noticed a new version of the plugin was released today so I installed and it's now working. I suspect it was the increased timeout. Thanks for incorporating this fix!

 

Hey all! Great plugin and thank you for your time.

 

I'm wondering if the plugin logs previously-opened files. I used File Activity and realized that one of my movie files was opened. Almost exactly 30 mins (my spin-down setting) after, the related disk spun down. This suggests the file was kept open for a short period of time, I think.

 

When checking Open Files, I wasn't able to see that file shown as open. This may be because it was open for a short time and I missed it. To confirm if that is the case, I'm wondering if there is a log that shows some history that can be accessed.

 

Thanks in advance!

That's what FIle Activity does.

In the active File Activity log, I just see that a file was opened but I'm trying to track down what actually opened or accessed it. If that's something I can find, where would I look? Thanks for your support!

I ran Fix Common Problems and it listed this plugin as unknown. I installed and have used it previously. Was this plugin depreciated or removed? It is not listed in CA anymore and the GitHub page is gone.

The author did remove it.  At this time, I am unsure as to why.  Assuming that the copyrights etc allow it, I will publish a replacement from my repository tonight / tomorrow.  This will necessitate an uninstall / reinstall of the plugin

Cool, Thanks Squid Keep us updated. 

Right now, I've decided that I'm not going to fork and republish the plugins.  At this time I do have far too much on my plate to take on any additional plugins.   I do not know why the author chose to delete the repositories, but that is unfortunately out of my hands.

 

The notification from Fix Common Problems is correct, as the plugins are currently unknown to CA, but I do not see any reason for these in particular to be uninstalled as there are no compatibility or security issues with them as far as I know.  But keeping them or uninstalling them is however entirely up to you guys.

 

Maybe in the future the author will reactivate these plugins, but that decision is entirely out of my hands.

This is a really useful plugin. It is easy to see where files are accessed from cache or HDD. Do you see any reason to have incompatibility issues with 7.1.x ?

Ok, removed plugin and forget, author`s behavior like small school girl.

Do we know what happened to this plugin? The author is a veteran contributor, and I use a good number of their plugins.

 

Are they OK?

https://github.com/dlandon/docker.templates/commits?author=dlandon&since=2025-05-01&until=2025-05-13

 

All we have is that Dlandon is cleaning house. and has removed the project page and thw xml from the CA store, at this time this plugin is considered unmaintained and dead.

while the web gui was a nice representation, you can get the same info from top / htop

 

some example script and terminal comand you can run instead...

 

 

infer running services from processes

ps -eo pid,comm,cmd --sort=cmd | grep -E 'rc|daemon|init|sbin' | grep -v grep

 

Or better yet, list all daemons by checking for processes launched by the init scripts:

ps -eo pid,comm,cmd | grep -v grep | grep -E '/etc/rc.d/|/usr/sbin/'

 

For each PID, get open files using lsof

(User script)

for pid in $(ps -eo pid,cmd | grep -E '/etc/rc.d/|/usr/sbin/' | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'); do
    echo "=== PID: $pid ==="
    lsof -p "$pid"
    echo
done

 

For open network connections or listening sockets

lsof -i

 

Or per-process:

lsof -nP -p <pid> | grep IPv

--Repleace <pid> with pid # form htop

this will atlease simulate and get you data in the web terminal of things running if/when needed during troubleshooting...

Can you recommend a good read on containers for Unraid?  I'm trying to put this back up but I'm having a bear of a time getting the PLG file to work for some reason. 

Give me until tomorrow

Hi, I have this setup for now.  Trying to figure out how to create a topic in plugin support so I can submit.  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Uleepera/unraid-open-files-fork/main/open.files.plg  Tested on 6.12.14.  Description and icon are jacked at the moment, but everything appears functional. 

I have a fork working and submitted to CA, just waiting for it to get approved.

I can see your entries in the CA listings, but they are showing "Pending".  I took this as pending install and came here to find out what pending means.   I can see you are awaiting a +1 or +2.  Thank you for all your efforts.

Uninstall the plugins first and then reinstall them via CA. This will resolve the pending issue.

unfortunately i could not immediately uninstall the plugins after they switched to 'pending'.   I needed to toggle safe mode and then i could do the uninstall.  very odd behavior, but at least i didn't have to reboot.

Yes, that's working for me too. Removed the old first and than we can install the new from CA. I have the pending State too before.

Thanks Eda. Unstaled and installed new open files from CA worked for me as well.

Can added a Filter Function for this Plugin?

For example System Files, User Files, ...

Actually I see system files under /lib and /usr
