My Flightradar24 feeder keeps stopping

I recently moved from Tenn to NY. I am feeding FlightAware and Flightradar24. My feeder was working quite well in Tenn. until about a week before I moved. Now that I have my feeder installed in the new location Flightradar24 intermittently stops sending data. The only way I know to get it going again is to reboot the Pi. I finally had some time where I could capture some of the log from FlightAware. It looks to me like FlightAware continues sending data ok but Flightradar24 does not. Can anyone provide some insight? I can post the log if that would be of any help. I am at a loss as to what is happening…

Can you login (SSH) to the device and run the following command:

tail -n100 /var/log/piaware.log

and paste it back here or on pastebin, please.

Have you set the new location in your FR24 stats page? If not, then go to flightradar24.com and login to your account, then do this:
Subscription plans - Silver, gold and business subscriptions | Flightradar24 >> Click on “My Data Sharing” tab >> Click “Show Statistics” >> In the field “COORDINATES”, click on the “eye” symbol at far-right, and set new coordinates (see screenshot below)

Thank you for the suggesting… Yes I have updated the coordinates.

What is the output of this command?

fr24feed-status

 

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ fr24feed-status
[ ok ] FR24 Feeder/Decoder Process: running.
[ ok ] FR24 Stats Timestamp: 2020-09-10 01:11:08.
[ ok ] FR24 Link: connected [UDP].

[ ok ] Receiver: connected (2130658 MSGS/0 SYNC).
[ ok ] FR24 MLAT: ok [UDP].
[ ok ] FR24 MLAT AC seen: 21.

This is perfect. What makes you think it keeps stopping?

Anyway, if it is a connection to fr24 server issue, following workaround may help in maintaining connection of fr24 feeder and fr24 server:

(1) Open file fr24feed.ini
sudo nano fr24feed.ini
sudo nano /etc/fr24feed.ini

(2) Copy-paste following line below last line in above file:

use-http=yes  
http-timeout=20  

(3) Save file (Ctrl+O) and close file (Ctrl+x)

(4) Restart fr24feed
sudo systemctl restart fr24feed

It makes me think it keeps stopping bcz I get email from FR24 alerting me that it is down. And I also see this…

When I do… sudo nano fr24feed.ini I get the following…

Is that right ? I was expecting to see lines of code. Please confirm…

Looks like the network connection to FR24 is intermittent, probably routing issues or something.
Seems it was fine last Friday.

The file is /etc/fr24feed.ini not fr24feed.ini, without the path it checks the current directory where the file is not.

Anyhow … enable some sensible logging for fr24feed and check the log for disconnects after some time has passed.
fr24feed settings ¡ wiedehopf/adsb-wiki Wiki ¡ GitHub

Install traceroute:

sudo apt install traceroute

When the connection issue happens, check the following command:

traceroute 185.218.24.1 

Thank you! I think I correctly installed your sensible logging.
This is the result of the log:

I will do a traceroute if/when it craps out…

I’d recommend https://pastebin.com/ for the logs.

But yeah the log and the traceroute will be more interesting once it stops working.

Oops, my mistake. I missed the path to file in the command.

The command should be sudo nano /etc/fr24feed.ini , and not sudo nano fr24feed.ini.

I will now corrected my post. Sorry for the incovinience caused by my mistake.

The FR24 feed stopped… this is the traceroute…

It appears that FA is still running and feeding data to FA…
It appears that the route to FR24 has been interrupted. The only way I know to reestablish FR24 is to restart the Pi…

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ traceroute 185.218.24.1

Did you add following lines to file /etc/fr24feed.ini , saved file, then restarted fr24feed?

use-http=yes  
http-timeout=20

OK I did now. Thank you I had not done that. Can you please explain what effect that should/will have?

It will change nothing, the option did something in an old version of the feed client i believe, they since changed the feed client.

@abcd567 without a network route the settings really don’t matter :confused:
(i would say that’s obvious but i guess that would be rude :slight_smile: )

If restarting the pi fixes it, then your network configuration is bad.

Are you using the piaware image and static ips?
Then post the piaware-config.txt or the output for sudo piaware-config

I’m not sure what you mean by piaware image but I think so. I am using static IP.
Here is the result of sudo piaware-config…
allow-auto-updates yes # value set at /etc/piaware.conf:7
allow-manual-updates yes # value set at /etc/piaware.conf:8

The image you wrote to the sd-card.
The other option would be default Raspbian Lite then installing piaware.

No matter your network configuration is likely screwed up.
So however you configured that, post how you configured it.
