Too many Missed Slots happens, help me

@SouthKoreaLee check my comment #2

Could you please explain how to view the log?

If u know the slot number missed then inside the logs u should search for that slot

Should be fine

I was looking into this last night as the missed slot count was annoying me. It seemed to be synchronised with the garbage collection timings. I wrote up a guide that may help people I found snippets of info elsewhere but not much in the way of any explanations so Iโ€™ve tried to clarify what the changes do and some more details on how to implement them.

Feedback welcome. Hopefully it helps. Since I made the changes Iโ€™ve only had 2 missed slot leader checks and it hasnโ€™t increased in 15hrs

Hello,
I have the same problem. On my BP node I get the warning โ€œConnection to node lost (1/3)โ€ in ./glliveview.sh. And woops I lost a leadercheck. I have 3 relay nodes and 1 BP node.
The BP is a VM @ stratoserver.net. Every node is on v1.30.1 and guildliveview v1.21.1. I am really worried. My pool is very small and I dont want to miss the 1 in a million chance to create a block.

what is the hardware configuration of the node? 1.29.0 requires ~9,5G RAM for each serverโ€ฆ but if you will run also CNCLI with only ~10G RAM the node will crash

Hi Alex,
3 nodes are having 32GB RAM (1 BP and 2 relay) and one node 16GB RAM(relay). The last node is on a different provider and has the same issues.
All other nodes are on different server but all are having the same issue. In gliveview.sh they sometimes show โ€œConnection to node lost (1/3)โ€. I tried reinstall on the base setup, reinstall on ubuntu 20.4, the bashrc fix, topologieupdate with different relays.

when it will happen just check with journalctl -e -f -u cardano-node
or check the uptime of the node with sudo systemctl status cardano-node

check if the nodes are crashing or not

it has an uptime for 1h and 5 min
check with journalctlโ€ฆ the command provided aboveโ€ฆ do you see something with killing?
also type top and check how much RAM the server has,

I will wait for the next "Connection lost " and I will show you the result of the journalctl

Yes I was installing everthing new that night. I started the nodes and after 20 minutes boom โ†’ โ€œConnection to node lost (1/3)โ€. I really donโ€™t know what else to do

here is my htop

Try to monitor the server โ€ฆ if u have 32G and 3 nodes up and running which are using ~30G then Could be the reassonโ€ฆ try to start only 2 nodes for test and monitore for few hours/days

every node has 32gb :slight_smile:

Aaaaa, understood nowโ€ฆ hmm

Ok, hmmm I see u are running 1.30.1 version which is still in tests โ€ฆ the latest official version released is 1.29.0

ok, that sounds plausible. I always upgraded to the newest version. Oh i feel so stupid right now ^^

Downgrade to 1.29.0
And is fine, the version is working (1.30.1) but as u can see it can have bugs

Yes I will do it :slight_smile: Thank you so much. I will tell you about the results
