"[CRT] SRVR: Health check: chain backend failed after 3 calls" #658
Comments
Thanks for letting me know. Have you tried changing the timeout values? If so, what worked for you? |
Could you try these values? If I understand right, this should check every 5 minutes now and allow up to 3 minutes for bitcoin to become available if it happens to be under heavy load.

Those values are in the latest beta. |
Since upgrading my "production" myNode instance to 64 bit OS and 0.2.57 I'm having similar (and sadly continuing) problems as described above. That is, both my Pi4 and Pi400 instances are regularly (currently a couple of times a day) shutting down due to:
I could extend the "backoff" but unless there's more guidance on what the backend failure is and why it occurs, this seems to be just fumbling in the dark. The check is for some purpose, it would be more useful to determine the reason. I'm not seeing anything wrong with
|
How much load is your device under? The additional txindex messages are unusual. They typically finish and it doesn't need to do catchup any more. Do you think Bitcoin could still be doing its txindex processing for some reason? |
OK, let me know if the timeout change helps. I don't run any nodes with HDDs anymore and my guess is that it's getting to the point where it can't keep up. |
I pushed the timeout and backoff to 2m0s and haven't had any shutdowns due to health check problems since.
This one message is all I could find. There is definitely something awry with the system, load averages are well out of whack, IMHO:
But I'll describe that in a separate issue if I find out what's happening. |
Describe the bug
LND is deciding bitcoind has failed a health check and shutting down gracefully, to be restarted by the systemd service unit.
Expected behavior
Just keep running.
MyNode hardware (please complete the following information):
Additional context
This problem is described and discussed extensively here: lightningnetwork/lnd#4669
It may be worth extending the timeouts for the health check as described here: lightningnetwork/lnd#4669 (comment)
