Stops recording after a while

[kyleawayan]

Recording of data will stop happening after a while, probably around a week or so running continuously. When it does happen, restarting the program fixes the issue.

According to the logs, it's probably due to the refreshing of the API tokens.

Temporary Fix

Create a cron job to restart it every two days through PM2.

1. sudo crontab -e
2. Add something like this below. You could also replace "all" with the id of the PM2 instance running vintage-influxdb.

0 0 */2 * * /usr/bin/node /usr/bin/pm2 restart all

Edit: It may even be better to restart daily actually:

0 0 */1 * * /usr/bin/node /usr/bin/pm2 restart all

You could also use PM2's built in --cron-restart flag:

pm2 start yarn --name vintage-influxdb --cron-restart="0 0 * * *" -- start
