Bug #232
Updated by Sven Eckelmann about 8 years ago
we have very often : *alfred return code 1* and therefore hell of mess in map and mapdata we thought that using alfred we have to use server mode to gather maximum Data of our Freiburg Freifunk Meshnetwork.(https://openfreiburg.de/freifunk/meshviewer) If we turn on alfred in master mode (on Interface bat0) we get very stable 60 nodes (see the grey line at bottom) if we use alfred in slave mode (just on interface bat0 without *-m* option) we got this zigzag fashion as it started some time ago (see grey line in image) means , we get most of nodes (but not all!! 260 out of 290 ) with their Data than - but with very regular *alfred error (return code 1)* i am happy to have this visualisation, 1 general graph, 1 zoomin, original html and here the original link [but we wont change alfred mastermode regulary .. you will see the zig zag ) https://openfreiburg.de/freifunk/data.html http://openfreiburg.de/freifunk/data.html 1 "original" ffmap-backend rrdtool generated png where alfred slave before and than mastermode drop the charts https://openfreiburg.de/freifunk/nodes/globalGraph.png https://openfreiburg.de/freifunk/nodes/globalGraphW.png https://openfreiburg.de/freifunk/nodes/globalGraphM.png http://openfreiburg.de/freifunk/nodes/globalGraph.png http://openfreiburg.de/freifunk/nodes/globalGraphW.png http://openfreiburg.de/freifunk/nodes/globalGraphM.png data for this graph is generated like *batctl tg |grep \.W\.|wc -l* for clients (background) and *alfred -r 159 |wc -l* for nodes (we could also use batctl o, but that dont help us with alfred errors) and this errors are the reason for our unreliable map . do you have a idea how we can make alfred run more stable , or ideas how to find the error - because beside return code 1 - there is no error in syslog or wherever batctl tells us that the layer2network itself behave pretty normal in all manners [2 things to mention , we have batman-adv-legacy 2014 in network and i raise timeout from 600 s to 1200 seconds of forgetting alfred data [which helps a little bit]]
