Jon00 Performance Monitor V2

[jon00]

Are you running HS3 or HS4 with this error?

Does this show only once or each time the metrics update?

What metric are you trying to use for the High value restart?

[ScottRennie]

HS3 - It looks like it writes the error when the Homeseer CPU Usage crosses the HighvalueTrigger which is set at 50.0 (the HighValueReset is 5.0)

[jon00]

No, triggering is within a completely different routine and is shared across all metrics.

If you only see that error message occasionally then that appears to be a glitch when the plugin reads Windows performance counters.

Triggering will only happen if the high value is above the average value but that depends on your Averagerange setting. This should be set to 1 if you want it to immediately trigger when your CPU reaches over 50%

[ScottRennie]

The High value trigger doesn't seem to be triggering - can you have a look at the section of the INI and advise?

[ScottRennie]

Yes, It's intermittent

[jon00]

So try:

Averagerange=1
Highvaluetrigger=50
Highvaluereset=40

[ScottRennie]

That seems to have done it - thank you!!

Quick question - can you recommend a way of monitoring so that the reboot only happens if the CPU has been above a threshold for more than, say, 5 minutes?

Cheers
Scott

[jon00]

Just change the AverageRange value. If you change it to 2 or 3, it will need to be over 50% over 2 to 3 passes. The current setting of 1 is instant.

[ScottRennie]

Ah, the penny has just dropped. Thank you!!

Jon, Here are a couple of clips of my system performance monitor. One is from 0905 and the other at 1340 in the afternoon. At 0330 every day I do a restart. I've been doing this scheduled restart for many years as I found that if I don't, I would start having problems. Do these charts look typical of an HS3 system or do you see something that could be causing problems, like the build up of handles?

[jon00]

Yes, looks very similar to mine.

HomeSeer has always had a handle leak (HS2, HS3 & HS4). https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/ho...-crashes/page2

[noopara]

Ok. I run a lot of vb.net scripts. I assume that they are assigned a handle. Is there code that I should use to release the handles?

Nothing you can do as it is all internal to HomeSeer. Just keep rebooting to keep it under control.

I loaded up the performance monitor to try and everything loaded fine but it does not loop, when I start the exe file, it will update once and not again.
I tried restarting HS4 but the same thing happened. I must have some setting wrong.
Any ideas?

[jon00]

It only updates every 5 minutes. Do you see something in the HS Log on startup stating something like waiting for 5 minute duration?
