log flooded with error 401 unauthorized messages

vobele commented 2 years ago

Those errors began suddenly last night and didn't stop until a fresh reboot of home assistant in the morning. During 8 hours the home-assistant.log file grow up to 2.4MB with over 33tsd of those lines. The block of messages repeated itself after 20 seconds and then after 40 seconds. (so two times every minute)

The last line said 'error 401 Unauthorized', so probably the reboot solved this issue by a logging into the hik-connect service again.

The only sensor of the HikConnect integration I am using (and therefore haven't deactivated) is the call_status of an intercom device (DS-KD8003). And it didn't show any signs of being not available during that time.

I would have the following questions: 1) was the integration really not working during this period (since the sensor was still available)? 2) what could be the reason behind it (I mean, may be it was just one unsuccessful login)? And could the integration be improved to perform the same fresh login process which obviously solved the issue after I have rebooted home assistant? 3) apart from looking regularly into the log file: is there a way to be notified when this situation will happen again?

THX.

Exact the same pattern again today, started around 6am (last time around 22pm). Issue remained until reboot of HA.

Question 1) is hereby answered: the integration (of course) is not working when it happens.

Probably something (may be an invalid token?) prevents any further login retries.

Edit: 2 days later again, this time around 13am.
