continously fetch errors

[bartbutenaers]

Hi all,

I am in the middle of an upgrade of my Node-RED system. Done a lot of things already, but now this node continously logs the following error:

{
  "msg": "Error in HttpActions:reportState()",
  "org_msg": {
    "message": "request to https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token failed, reason: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN www.googleapis.com",
    "type": "system",
    "errno": "EAI_AGAIN",
    "code": "EAI_AGAIN",
    "config": {
      "method": "POST",
      "url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token",
      "data": {
        "grant_type": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer",
        "assertion": "...."
      },
      "headers": {
        "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
        "User-Agent": "google-api-nodejs-client/8.7.0",
        "x-goog-api-client": "gl-node/18.19.0 auth/8.7.0",
        "Accept": "application/json"
      },
      "responseType": "json",
      "body": "grant_type=urn..."
    }
  },
  "data": {
    "postData": {
      "requestId": "0Ro2tlpN0KPjFKuff5Ir4H",
      "agentUserId": "0",
      "payload": {
        "devices": {
          "states": {
            "c21fefd5b4e86d09": {
              "online": true,
              "openPercent": 0
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

So it will be related to something I have done, but I can't pinpoint it due to my large number of changes.

The weird thing is that everything seems to be working normally, what my voice control concerns...

Does anybody have some tips about what I could try to get rid of this error? Because it occurs once every few seconds...

Thanks!! Bart

Hi,

    "message": "request to https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token failed, reason: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN www.googleapis.com",

This means a DNS lookup for www.googleapis.com failed. That is, this domain could not be resolved to an IP address. Some things I would try are:

• Restart your router.
• Restart your system.
• Do a nslookup www.googleapis.com on the command line (should answer with a long list of names and IP addresses).
• Do the nslookup with several other domains, in case only the googleapis domain fails.
• If you run Node-RED inside a Docker container or in any other virtualization, try the nslookup inside the container too, not only on the host system.
• Review the nameserver settings of your system. Could be /etc/resolv.conf or somewhere in the network settings.
• If you run stuff like Pi-Hole or some advanced firewall setup, check if they have problems.

Hi @Caprico85,

You nailed it. One of my migration actions was to install a Tailscale agent on my Raspberry, to avoid port forwarding. And seems that this agent had overwritten my /etc/resolv.conf file. I simply had to put the Google dns servers in my tailnet, and everything was solved.

Thanks for sharing your insights, and writing it all down... Really appreciated!!! Bart
