CLI becomes unresponsive. about dynamic HOT 11 OPEN

If this is due to running multiple instances of a Dynode on one VPS, then we do not directly support that, and won't be actively working on a fix.

from dynamic.

Running a local server with more than one instance on it (given that each instance has been assigned a unique IPv4 address) is something that is commonly done. I suspect that it running on a VPS vs on a local server has no bearing on the reported issue. I believe that some of our community members currently providing Dynodes hosting solutions are running into this issue. The current resolution for them is to quickly restart a non-responsive unit in order to not timeout. This band-aid relives the symptom but does not fix the issue.

What additional information can I collect that will aid in finding and fixing this issue?

Are you assigning each instance with its own custom ports to use?

from dynamic.

U have to isolate the clients, like docker , vm , ....

from dynamic.

Each port is static as per the dynode rules. The RPC port is unique to each instance. Here is an example config file.

# This file was generated. YYYY-MM-DD_hh:mm:ss  Version: x.xx.xx
# Do not use special characters or spaces with username/password
rpcuser=<Randomly Generated and Unique to each file>
rpcpassword=<Randomly Generated and Unique to each file>
rpcport=<Procedural Generated and Unique to each file ex 33350, 33351, ...>
port=33300

# MINING:  These are your mining variables
# Gen can be 0 or 1. 1=mining, 0=No mining
gen=0
# genproclimit sets the number of processors you want to use -1 for unbounded (all of them)
genproclimit=-1

# DYNODE: 
# externalip is the IP address of this machine. (the remote Dynode's IP address) 
externalip=<Uniique IPv4 Address for this instance>
bind=<Uniique IPv4 Address for this instance>
# dynode can be 0 or 1. 1=dynode, 0=not a dynode
dynode=1
# Use your local or control wallet, run the command "Dynode genkey" to generate a unique dynodepairingkey for each remote Dynode
dynodepairingkey=<Procedural Generated and Unique to each file>

# if you can't connect, you may need to add a node, check the peers list on an explorer and add some nodes here
# addnode=<IP Address>:<PORT>

# End of generated file

Just had a similar crash on a standalone VPS running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. The only thing running on the VPS is a single Dynode setup with my script. This issue is rare, and it defiantly happens more often on a server running multiple Dynodes, but it just happened on a standalone dedicated VPS.

Is there anything I can do to trap information that will aid in debugging this issue?

I have the same problem with Debian 10 as well , the CLI sometimes get a timeout completely on a server that only running a dynode. This server is located in a datacenter with high stability. I monitoring everything i have with zabbix, and so far they have been 0 issues regarding losses in the network.

And before version 2.4 i have been running dynodes for years without any interruption, so they is a issue for sure related in the codebase.

Since now i have over 60 dynodes running and everyone have the same issue on different types of hardware. Even if it is Ubuntu or Debian the problem still remains.

So every month i need to start the wallet check the dynode status and restart them.

I get issues with interruption mostly within 60 days when the nodes get the status "Expired", i check via getinfo or dynode status and the cli has hang as usual so that explain why it's not working either.

I using this command:
/usr/local/bin/dynamic-cli getinfo

You been forced to kill the deamon because it's not responding at all.

Here is the log before the node has been killed:

And it has been over 1000 dynodes that has been disconnected from the network since a few days ago which could indicate that something is wrong.

One of my dynamicd nodes is stuck and has an extra scheduler (dynamic-schedul) thread:

My working nodes do not have two dynamic-schedul threads and I can't see why it would create a second thread in the code. Anyone else see an extra dynamic-schedul thread with zero execution time when a node is stuck?

from dynamic.

We are still using boost::function and boost::bind in scheduler. Bitcoin upgraded to std::function and std::bind. I am not sure if this commit will fix the issues but I think we need it: 962c67c

The crash seems to be related to the data stored in the dncache.dat file. Could the extra dynamic-schedul thread be a result of a deadlock while trying to store/interact with data from the dncache.dat file?
