Hey everyone, I’m encountering an issue with Grafana crashing every two minutes on my Raspberry Pi after migrating from OpenHAB 2 to 4. I followed the openHABian setup for Grafana and InfluxDB, but it’s not working as expected. Here’s what I’m experiencing and what I’ve tried so far:
The Problem
- Crashing Intervals: Grafana crashes approximately every two minutes. The logs indicate a SIGILL error, which suggests an illegal instruction might be causing the crash. This could be related to the ARM architecture or a corrupted installation.
- Memory Issues: The system logs show that the
/var/logdirectory is filling up due to the crashes, which might be contributing to the instability.
What I’ve Tried
- Checked Grafana Version: I ensured that I’m running the latest stable version of Grafana for ARM devices. However, the issue persists.
- Adjusted Logging Settings: I reduced the logging level to minimize log file growth, but this hasn’t resolved the crashing issue.
- Reinstalled Grafana and InfluxDB: I performed a clean reinstall, but the problem remains.
- Monitored System Resources: I observed that CPU and memory usage spike before a crash, suggesting potential resource constraints.
Possible Solutions
- Alternative Visualization Tools: If Grafana continues to be problematic, I might consider switching to a different visualization tool that’s more stable on Raspberry Pi, such as Prometheus with a different frontend.
- Optimize Logging: Further adjust logging settings to prevent disk space exhaustion, though this won’t fix the root cause.
- Hardware Upgrade: If resource constraints are the issue, upgrading to a more powerful Raspberry Pi model might help.
- Community Support: I’ll reach out to the Grafana community for insights or known issues with ARM devices.
Request for Assistance
