I’m just wondering if anybody is monitoring the responses from POSTing to monitormywatershed.org
and if they are getting a response ‘201’The data for my test systems, is being recorded, but I’m not seeing any 201.
The timeout is 5sec, so now it waits fully connected for 5seconds and then gives up listening.[2021-12-22 09:16:14.343] Connected Internet

2021-12-22 at 1:53 PM #16195@neilh, we’ve been tracking your many issues in the last few days, including #542, and have been working on solutions. I j@neilh, we’ve been tracking your many issues in the last few days, including #542, and have been working on solutions. I just responded in detail here: https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/issues/542#issuecomment-999785715
The short story is that we’re working hard to improve error handling (i.e. making it more accurate, rather than just passing a 201 immediately), but doing so has had some unintended consequences, especially for your specific code that resends all data that do not receive a 201.
The old system would queue up all the POST requests every 5 to 10 minutes, sometimes taking a minute to complete them all. However, ModularSensors times out after 7 seconds, so the radio and logger can go back to sleep. Sending a 201 immediately, before the POST completes, allowed that to happen.
The unintended consequence of our more accurate error handling is that if the POST doesn’t fully complete in <7 seconds, then you get a 504, even if it the data do get inserted into the database. With your specific “reliable delivery” code, you then send that data all over again at the next logging time along with one more data row. This has lead to a steady increase in our server load that was making the problem worse for everyone. This is why we recently switched back to sending 201 responses immediately.
Right now we are fast-tracking some hot fixes to the Gunicorn app server to allow for more concurrent posts, along with other fixes. For the next release, we’ll be upgrading Django 2.2 to 3.2, which enables us to use an ASGI (Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface) that will perform much better at routing the ever increasing traffic.

@aufdenkampe many thanks. Appreciate this is covering timing issues that are a bit hard to flush out.I suppose I’m the messenger in checking the system to what appears to be the bar from the Mayfly, but its a pretty hard area to checkout – all I can say is that as the messenger I’ve seen the challenges in other systems and was trying to give the headsup with figuring out what the best way of characterizing 5the system with https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/issues/524
My LTE systems when responding is now doing so in 10seconds, or timing out at 25seconds.

What’s nice it does appear to be getting to the database. -
