[Buildbot-devel] Buildbot Slave: many reconnects because of BotFactory.keepaliveLost

[Fabalabs Mailing-Lists]

Hi!

Thank you for your quick response, but it seems that my problem is more difficult than expected.
It's true that there do run 2 buildbot processes, but ONLY 1 slave (the other process is the buildbot master process)

16265 ?        S      0:03 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/buildbot start -q /home/buildbot/masters/<maindir>
16300 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/buildbot start -q /home/buildbot/clients/<maindir>

I've tried your tips and changed the build-slave password and also the buildslave name.
But that didn't help me much.
The one slave still disconnects approx. every 15 minutes.

Klaus.

Most times I've seen this, it's because there are two instances of the
buildslave running, and each keeps causing the other to be
disconnected.  Try killing all buildslave processes on the host, then
starting just one up.  You can also change the buildslave password for
that host, which will cause any remaining buildslaves to quit
permanently.
