My bot keeps crashing and I don't know why.

My bot keeps crashing and I don't know why, my bot runs fine for like 12 hours, but then it crashes, is there some sort of verbose mode which I can then log to a file?

Thanks for any responses,

Cookie

[calm bolt]

is it crashing, or the process being killed

[fierce folio]

If it's only happen in the hosting service then I'm pretty sure the hosting service is killing the process

[arctic thorn]

Good point, I'm not sure.

I want to track logs or something.

[calm bolt]

could just be running out of memory and the kernel kills the process

[arctic thorn]

Is there anyway I can track this?

[cold elk]

Are you using any kind of hosting service?

[arctic thorn]

AWS lightsail.

[arctic thorn]

I have a feeling something may be related to this, because every time I try to connect back to the server it's in a state of crash.

[arctic thorn]

Ok.

Update.

Only the bot stop.

*stops

The server doesn't actually crash.

[fathom lintel]

i guess u have a snippet which is not async

a code u have it is a blocking

[cold elk]

Hmm, even so there would be a traceback pointing to error

if an async function is not awaited, it will raise a warning

What I suspect is the maybe the memory allocated for that instance is low and the bot uses it all up and when tries to use more, it just crashes.

[arctic thorn]

Strange, I've never had something like this occur before, are there any solutions you can propose?

[cold elk]

Well, for a start, you could monitor the memory usage of your bot? or maybe a logger that logs everything thats happening to your bot process

How much memory have you allocated in your instance

and how large is your bot ( server wise )?

[arctic thorn]

Thing is it's running on a server with 2 other major processes but I may need to get another server.

But server wise it's not very big. apprx 23 servers I believe.

Memory allocated to the server is..

512mb

And I think I've found the issue

[cold elk]

Ah 512mb, I had a feeling that would be the default memory that gets allocated to each instance

[cold elk]

23 servers isnt much

[arctic thorn]

Agreed.

Especially as this is a bot I only allow certain people to have.

[cold elk]

Although it depends upon your bot, how resource intensive it is

[arctic thorn]

Mmm, I have 3 other bigger instances. IU reckon I could experiment with a 1gb ram instance and see how it goes.

[cold elk]

Well you could monitor the memory usage of your bot process and see what its max is, if it exceeds 512mb, it will cause a crash

[cold elk]

Yeah, 1gb for a bot is adequate enough

[arctic thorn]

I think it's the kernel killing the process.

This bot also runs intensive things.

Alright, that sounds like a plan.

I appreciate the help man.

[cold elk]

No problem

[arctic thorn]

Are you aware of the solved command? :-) - Found it. 😆
