Problem with Admin statistics graph

<baris>

What about cloudflare? If it was enabled all ips would come from cloudflare ips unless they are forwarded.

Cloudflare status is enabled and running, no change whatsoever from time when stats are working and when they are not working. At least no change that i know of or that i did (im only one who has access to it).

Today, same story:

It decided that it doesnt want to work anymore and than it decided that it wont track unique visitors but only page visits few hours after (as it can be seen on this fresh screenshot).
What makes me wonder is that youc an see numbers under "active users". It's not like it's not getting any info or anything.

Just one extra info, it's hosted on digitalocean 5$ droplet with 1G swap mem active. It it possible that some kind of lack of resources is causing this? Im guessing that it is not because problem would ocure only on traffic peeks and not on totaly random times: 4AM, 2PM, 8AM....

Ill restart nodebb (./nodebb restart) now and see if it will help.

sosojni

Yup...restart made it work again, but time without data stayed that way (without of data).
Is there log file i an monitor or anything i can do to even try to rule out anything? I have no clue even in which direction i should look at.
I have full access to VPS and all, i know my way around it, it's just that im new to nodejs so i dont know much about debugging.

There are other files in the nodebb/logs directory I think. You want to look in output.log

sosojni

last time that file had entry was 25.1....do i have to enable something to make it more active? Some kind of debug level?

PitaJ

If you use ./nodebb start it should output to that file.

sosojni

Oh sorry, my bad, im stupid, i was looking at wrong putty window....25.1 is from my local test server. Yes, there is fresh log output, ill check it out to see is there is something interesting at times when stats stopped being recorded.

Ok from log:

Not much in there. Normal stuff and my reboot....no errors , no nothing....

sosojni

It seams that i "solved" my problem by upgrade-ing VPN instance from old 512MB RAM Digitalocean VPS to new 1GB RAM Digitalocean VPS (free upgrade) and by disabling clamav who ate whole lot of RAM.
So my uneducated guess is that it had something to do with lack of RAM (512Mb + 1Gb swap).

That's interesting, thanks for sharing the conclusion!
