dtgloop' modify/change time for /var/tmp/dtgloop.txt failed after ip address change (I think)

[wilfried]

Hello,

Monit constantly reboots DTGBOT service on my raspberry and this happens after I switched internet provider (Ziggo to KPN) and my Raspberry got a new Ip address last week. I have searched through all kinds of configs if it has something to do with the IP address but I can't find the link related to that.

The reason it rebootes is the timestamp check that I have defined in MONIT. This worked Ok before the IP address change, and to my opinion it is a local file check, but I may be wrong.

# Monitor the DTGBOT Service
###check process dtgbot with pidfile /var/run/dtgbot.pid
start program = "/home/pi/dtgbot/restartbot.sh" timeout 20 seconds
stop program = "/home/pi/dtgbot/stopbot.sh" timeout 20 seconds
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

# Monitor the DTGBOT loop file which should be updated each minute.
# Restart DTGBOT when not updated in 2 minutes
check file dtgloop with path /var/tmp/dtgloop.txt
start program = "/home/pi/dtgbot/restartbot.sh" timeout 20 seconds
if timestamp > 2 minutes then restart
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

In the monit.log I see this alle the time.

I hope someone can help me.

Kind regards, Wilfried

Did you check the dtg.log and error log files for issues?
That file is updates in the main loop of dtgbot.lua so there is likely An error there.

Hello, Yes I had checked al those error logs and so.

Yesterday afternoon I've found the solution. I walked through the settings of domoticz and I saw that my settings for Local networks (logging in without username and password) was still the old Ip number. After changing that and rebooting the error went away.

Pffff

Kind regards, Wilfried

That makes sense and there should have been an error in the logs indicating an error retrieving the domoticz information.
Glad you've solved it.
