OCPN Draw 1.8 floods Ubuntu system log file #492

Open joma42 opened 3 years ago

My system looks like this:

  1. One Raspberry Pi4, OS buster running SignalK 1.40.0. This is the centre where all signals from NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000 and I²C are coming in.
  2. an Intel NUC, OS Ubuntu 20.04 also running OCPN 5.2.4. Both computers are connected via Ethernet cable and OCPN is set to receive data via SignalK server. When OCPN ran longer I got messages from Ubuntu that the hard disk memory was full. The investigation revealed that apparently OCPN Draw 1.8 writes the entire SignalK data stream to the Ubuntu "syslog". This reaches about 20 GB over 24 hours.

After disabling OCPN Draw, no more data was written to "syslog" file.

Can you provide the exact version of ODraw you are using (available in properties/about) and where you obtained it, Prod/Beta/Alpha? Can you also provide a section of the log showing the issue you have as well as a zip file containing an example of the input, signalk, data? I need this to investigate this issue otherwise I am working in the dark. Thanks

I have just tried with ODraw v1.8.7.1 (the latest version) and do not get the issue. So I think you may be using an older version as I did see logging of SignalK data with version 1.8.6.1 .
