iotaWatt Stopped recording Data, but still measures

Support
1

I noticed my unit stopped logging to my influx db.
I then checked the Graphs I had setup on the web interface.
The data stopped being recorded on 12/19 (I know … :frowning: )
anyhow, could it be a corrupted/dying SD as all the other functions seem to be working ???

Also I noticed that Emoncms is running and I can not stop it even tried deleting it

Help suggestiosn etc
-Thanks

2

Led state? Message log, status display.

3

LED State is normal dim green
Logs seem to have stopped around the same time It stopped logging out to eht innodb
Logs havce a butt ton of “emoncms: Query failed 401” up till it stopped logging (I never truned this on, and can not stop it permanently)
Status display looks normal

Id does look as if your SD card is toast. How old is the unit?

Not positive but indications are that it’s the SD card.

9

bingo , new card is operational and logging as expected.
Old card very corrupted am in the process of trying to recover things on it (graphs missing, as I needed to use the fallback config )

10

Graphs are not stored in the config file. Each one is a file in the graphs directory. If you can recover any of the files from the old /graphs directory (they have eight character base64 names like twn73us6.txt) you can upload them to the /graphs directory to recover. The recovered graphs should appear the next time you start graph+.

11

Ah well the graphs are gone, the corruption seems to have made a mess of the sub-directories and they are unrecoverable/unusable…
Not a huge deal as I log most externally anyways
Thank you all for the Assist.
