Please checkout this github post:

https://github.com/Z-Wave-Me/z-way-issues/issues/125

seems that the problem could be related in very big notification.json

As a workaround you can try one of the following options:

stop z-way-server

Code: Select all

$ sudo /etc/init.d/z-way-server stop
a.) remove notification.json from automation/storage:

Code: Select all

$ sudo rm /opt/z-way-server/automation/storage/notifications-f37bd2f66651e7d46f6d38440f2bc5dd.json
b.) overwrite notification.json from automation/storage with []

Code: Select all

$ sudo sh -c 'echo "[]" > /opt/z-way-server/automation/storage/notifications-f37bd2f66651e7d46f6d38440f2bc5dd.json'
c.) or reduce it's content with an editor to the last entries and save it

and finally restart the server:

Code: Select all

$ sudo /etc/init.d/z-way-server start
Keep in mind that if you clear it, all notifications of the last week are gone.

Meanwhile we'll refactor the notification handling und reduce there RAM usage.

Also 24 Hours Device History app related to a z-wave household with a lot of devices could be a reason for that. Stopping the app could be a try to solve the issue. In next future we'll also enhance this app, too.

If you still have problem's please have a look at the debugging steps on page 2. Collect your issues and send it to our support ( support@zwaveeurope.com ), post it here in the thread or on github.

gosh ... that seems to be realy huge ... usually every entry older than one week should be removed daily at 0:00 am but I think if the file is this big, this won't work - too much data. Possible that this routine will crash z-way-server after several time each day ...
we need to find out why the routine fails.

What happens if you try one of the steps above? Will it work after?

Of course you can make a backup of the whole folder and restore it if necessary.

Stopped z-way, removed the file and restarted z-way. Everything seems good so far. Here are the metrics after 12 hours of use.

There are definitely issues with the notification.json! The included data starts with the time of the last system reboot and is not deleted even when restarting the z-way-server. If the file is to big, z-way crashs.

Why are all notifications stored in this file permanently? This is not a good design. Something like this should be stored in /var/log and has to be rotated frequently!

Please fix it soon!

I have updated to the latest version, and my crashes stopped.

My notifications file is:
