I am using the HTTP JSON API provided by the ZWay service.

For some devices, I am sending periodical (about 2 minutes) GET commands where I see that the value has not updated for that 2 minute period. Because of this, from time to time, the ZWay service gets 100% of the processor and does not respond anymore (not to the http api, not to the web interface). I am sure it is because of the GET commands, because I have been using the API since february, and this has never happened until I introduced this perioadical GET.

Could you advise me on the problem? Is it ZWave protocol related, or a HTTP server problem?

PS: The logs get horribly big, especially with debug level. Can't they be split by days?

On Razberry logrotate should be configured.

Show us how to reproduce the bug, version number etc.

I cannot use logrotate because I don't have a Razberry, I use Windows.

Specs:
- Z-ZWay for Windows, v 1.4.0.2
- Windows 7 64 bit
- Intel Pentium Dual CPU 1.80 Ghz, 2 GB Ram

I use the HTTP JSON API in the following way (since february):
- querying frequently (every 300 ms) with the function "Data/[timestamp_last_update]" to get fresh values from the devices
- using the SET functions when needed

The new functionality I added recently was (added it for perioadically checking the movement status of my AEON_MULTISENSOR):
- every 10 seconds, I check (with my cached values) which device of type SWITCH_BINARY has the timestamap of "level.updateTime" that has not been updated for at least 2 minutes, I issue a GET command for that command class, device id, instance id.
- I do not issue a GET if the device has not been updated for more than a day (because it is failed or unplugged)

I have about 8 sensors which get this perioadical GETs.
The result of adding this code is that the ZWay service perioadically gets blocked or crashes completely.

I have done a test where I use the same HTTP session for all commands, and in that scenario, the server does not crash, whereas if I use a new HTTP session for each call, it will crash. When I use the same HTTP session, it means that I cannot issue 2 commands at the same time. So, I have a feeling it has something to do with the webserver of the API? Maybe related to the GET command?

Thanks

Found this for you http://sourceforge.net/projects/logrota ... =directory. Haven't tested it.
I leave the remainder of your question to PoltoS

This is a known problem and is fixed a long time ago. Unfortunately Windows s/w was not updated for quite some time. We are working on this.

So if I were to use the service for Ubuntu, I would find a much fresher version and the problems would not occur?
