HI guys,
I saw in the LeaderLog that we were nominated for a block.
But I do not see that we actually minted it in the gLiveView or on adapools or pooltool.
Any idea what could be the problem here?

Try to restart ur relay… u need more out connections… anyway check in logs for the slot 96923 … do u see anything with Fork?
Cheers,
Hi!
Similar issue happened for me yesterday. There was a block creation right before your slot time - at 96921. Your is 96923. Check your logs for the previous block when it arrives to your block producer…
In my case it arrived 20 sec later after I created my block, which is clearly shows that my BP node was behind the actual height of the blockchain.
Any idea how to retrieve logs? I have restarted both nodes.
And it looks like I have all the loging set-up in mainnet-config.json to StdoutSK for writing to the console. And not to a file FileSK
Or is there any other way to check the logs for the slot 96923

ok, that means the logs redirected to the console… so unless you saved the console log by yourself then there is no other way to get it back, I think - change the logs to be stored on log files
Does it mean we have lost the block this epoch? Or it will be re-nominated?
yes, just lost it… I will make a measurement on my node performance regarding to how quick it is getting the current block, will tell you if I have something to share
How can we avoid this in the future? We are using google cloud so I do not think this issue has anything to do with the internet connection or with hardware. The only problem could be the:
@Alexd1985 with more connections … did you mean more our relays connected to the BP or more connections in the topology file in the Relay node? Will this avoid this problem in the future?
And I do not think we were the only ones … the next slot that was registered was 96939 so it jump over 18 slots (96939 - 96921). This means 18 other pools lost the blocks?
no - not in every slot there is a block creation. it is random, so slot number in an epoch not equal to block number in an epoch
Yes - it is strange that relay node has only 4 outgoing connection - you can increase this by adding more peers in topology file…
You have only 4 OUT peers (for example I have 18 peers per relay), excluding your Producer it means u have connections with only other 3 public nodes… it’s not ideal for a fast propagation
U need to run topology updater on relay for a dynamic and fresh topology and it’s betther to restart the relay once/day (by restarting the topology will be refresh by topology updater script).
Cheers,
I had the same problem…
No BP downtime, No slot missed on the specific time, no orphan block on pooltool.io…
18-20 peers in and out on my 2 relays…
The slot 179047 is not present on cardanoscan.
I did a KES rotation on 18-03.
I don’t understand and i need help to figure that out.
Thank you.

Hello,
Check for 179047 infos inside the logs folder
Cheers,
@Alexd1985 we missed today another block. Now I have not restarted the node so the node is still running. We were nominated for the slot 187221.
Can you share a command that can print out the log for the specific slot 187221 to debug the problem please?
The slot leader schedule has changed, I don’t know the reason for this, but the new schedule for my two pools is already missing a few blocks (the new schedule does not contain several blocks from the old schedule).
yeah, can be an error from slot leader script
@Vadimus and @dolar468468 I seem to have a similar problem, and like you guys, keen to find a root cause / explanation for Missed… does your problem feel the same as mine (aa doc’d here
I have rerun the slot leader script but we were still nominated for the same SlotNo 021-03-28 18:45:12 ==> Leader for 187221, Cumulative epoch blocks: 1
But weird think is that the gLiveView is not showing that we missed a block also I do not see any orphans on pooltool
Everything looks good with the nodes:
are u using cntools?
what is the ticker?
cheers,
No I was not using cntools
Ticker is BULL1
I have just stopped the relay to change the config so the log is safed in a file.
