I speculated that the persistent peer used in the cosmovisor.service file was offline and or jailed. So we tried to switch up the
parameter in the cosmovisor.service file to a peer that was online at that time this solved the issue after reload and restart of the service.
we got the needed info from a node operator using the command:
./baseledgerd tendermint show-node-id
and inserted as list of peers in the following format @:26656
after starting cosmovisor.service it got stuck in the following loop trying to connect to the peer:
INF Will dial address addr={"id": "ip": "", "port" :26656} module-pex
INF Saving AddrBook to file book=/root /.baseledger/config/addrbook.json module-p2p size=1
INF Ensure peers module=pex numDialing=0 numInPeers=0 numOutPeers=0 numToDia1=10
INF Will dial address addr={"id": "ip": "", "port" :26656} module-pex
INF Saving AddrBook to file book=/root /.baseledger/config/addrbook.json module-p2p size=1
INF Ensure peers module=pex numDialing=0 numInPeers=0 numOutPeers=0 numToDia1=10
