Title: bitcoind json rpc getting stuck sometimes Post by: btc_enigma on December 25, 2014, 01:27:27 PM Hi,
Sometimes bitcoind json rpc just gets stuck and don't respond to bitcoind getinfo calls. When I see .bitcoin/debug I can see that bitcoind is still running and processing blocks correctly Quote 2014-12-25 13:25:20 UpdateTip: new best=00000000000000002f83c6701e80513909ca76e56d0cece11574d0ec1dbe4750 height=301076 log2_work=78.627149 tx=38896050 date=2014-05-16 18:36:59 progress=0.519573 2014-12-25 13:25:21 UpdateTip: new best=0000000000000000633634f6829720785451ee93ece1610f0df0d4baba7a052a height=301077 log2_work=78.627267 tx=38896879 date=2014-05-16 18:41:10 progress=0.519591 2014-12-25 13:25:22 Pre-allocating up to position 0xd00000 in rev00140.dat 2014-12-25 13:25:22 UpdateTip: new best=00000000000000006a55f80015b6f96fd80e79672ed842b8f722d1ec1b0545c7 height=301078 log2_work=78.627384 tx=38897472 date=2014-05-16 18:48:36 progress=0.519607 I am using bitcoind 90100.

I have similar issues and I suspect its because I run it on a VPS.

Yes its Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, with 2GB Ram, single core CPU and 50 GiB SSD. I have no idea which SSD/CPU they use and the ISP changed the offer by now. Its a deal I only got because I study IT/SC at my university. We theyd charge me the regular amount Id be well known to their support by now. The picture below shows nicely how sometimes the shellscript gethering data from bitcoin core does not finish within 30 seconds. The white spots are unknown values / no data which occure when the script can not finish to feed the database. I thought about giving it more time as it runs every minute, but I dont think it should run that long. I never had this issue on any other machine, but every other machine is also a bare metal one and is not running 24/7 (yet), thus I suspect its because I have a cheap VPS any my priority on the machine is very low. https://i.imgur.com/Yrcsiu9.png Title: Re: bitcoind json rpc getting stuck sometimes Post by: btc_enigma on January 03, 2015, 11:22:23 AM -snip- are you running the daemon on a vps?

Didn't see any hangs for last three days. CPU usage also low |
