My observer node got out of sync as well.

Looks like it's stuck at the fork produced by delegate.baozi

here is my automatic failover script powered by xerocs python-graphenelib.  I am a noob at teh programming, and if I did anything wrong I would love the feedback.

The wallet this script is running through needs to be unlocked, and must contain the owner key (I think its the owner key, rather than the active key) of the witness.

Awesome!  This gives me an idea for an "industrial strength" version.

The active key should be sufficient.

[theoretical]

Every day so many witnesses are not online, what is the reason?

We've identified an issue where the assignment of new object ID's is inconsistent (we use a hashed index with an undefined iteration order).  Fortunately the testnet's main fork has them in increasing order (I suspect it has to do with the memory allocator tending to put things allocated later at higher addresses), in the next hardfork this condition will be enforced (by replacing most of our hashed indexes with ordered indexes).  We suspect some witnesses are getting their state wrong when they assign an ID differently from the main network, if someone publishes a transaction using that ID then the wrong state turns into a desync (they'll no longer sign or pay attention to blocks on the main fork because they think the main fork has an illegal transaction.)

If you get stuck and the first error message mentions a vesting balance object, this is almost certainly what's happening to you.

The next hardfork will fix this issue, and in addition, I'm working on a tool to help us find if there are any similar issues.

The transactions being executed by the community testers have been incredibly helpful to us.

here is my automatic failover script powered by xerocs python-graphenelib.  I am a noob at teh programming, and if I did anything wrong I would love the feedback.

Code: [Select]

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import sys
import json
from grapheneapi import GrapheneWebsocket, GrapheneWebsocketProtocol
import time
import config

rpc = GrapheneWebsocket("localhost", 8092, "", "")
publickeys = config.publickeys
witnessname = config.witnessname


def getmissed(witnessname):
    witness = rpc.get_witness(witnessname)
    missed = witness["total_missed"]
    return missed

missed = getmissed(config.witnessname)


def switch(witnessname, publickeys, missed):
    keynumber = missed % len(publickeys)
    key = publickeys[keynumber]
    rpc.update_witness(witnessname, "", key, "true")
    print("witness down switching to " + key)
print ("Nothing in this window will change unless a block is missed")

while True:
    if missed < getmissed(config.witnessname):
        missed = getmissed(config.witnessname)
        switch(witnessname, publickeys, missed)
    else:
        time.sleep(3)
You need to add two lines to your config.py file.  witnessname as a string and publickeys as strings in a tuple of the public keys you want to switch between.  those lines look like this in my case.

Code: [Select]

witnessname = "dele-puppy"
publickeys = ("GPH75xxKG4ZeztPpnhmFch99smunUWMvDy9mB6Le497vpAA3XUXaD", "GPH8Sj81ncf8PK5QwJZvhWsvwp6m4bXzTFvp4bKycNNFvHaJpZSnH")

The wallet this script is running through needs to be unlocked, and must contain the owner key (I think its the owner key, rather than the active key) of the witness.

[ElMato]

dele-puppy will be intermittently missing  blocks as I am testing a failover script.

Im interested in that script, will you make it public?

[ElMato]

I got a couples of:
getObjects without subscribe callback??
What is it?

Don't worry with that message.

The witness node logs that when there is no subscription and a getobject requirements comes in.

Witness node crashed.

[clayop]

Please hold off testing the current network.   We are working on some things we would like to deploy before the next set of forks.

Ok I stopped my servers.

[bytemaster]

[clayop]

100 TPS / 1 hour test will begin at 10/8 20:00 UTC (in 25 min)

[clayop]

Flooding nodes are forked I have to setup them again... I will notice the next test schedule soon.

[Bhuz]

is the "irreversible" output something it must noticed?

The irreversible block is the last block that your node has that has been confirmed by 2/3 of the witnesses.  The "-X" represents how many blocks ago that was.
