Curious entries in systemlog in ASL3

OS Help

Had a Pi shutdown on the ASL3 I just got running for N5JGX. He was away all day and I went to check on his Pi to see if a couple of cron jobs were running correctly (WX info and wwv stats) and I could not get into his Pi, though I was able to access the gui interface on his router and saw the Pi was not connected. When he got home he cycled power on the Pi, all came back and worked, still is and it has been about 8 hours now.

So I decided to look at logs with journalctl and I found nothing about a shutdown and looked at the cron.daily, etc but nothing jumps out at the correct time. But I did see something else that I'm curious about. A repeating entry about every 15 seconds:

>

Jul 15 18:09:15 asl3-41055 allmon3[832]: INFO: (asl_allmon.allmon3_ws_status) node: 1999 - attempting reconnection retry #125
Jul 15 18:09:15 asl3-41055 allmon3[832]: WARNING: (asl_allmon.ami_conn) connection failed to 127.0.0.1:5038: [Errno 111] Connect ca>

Question, since in allmon3.conf there is an uncommented [1999] stanza is it safe for me to just comment that out to make this stop. The Pi is 200 miles away and don't want to do anything disruptive. And/or it seems to be trying to connect internally to port 5038. I have manager on 5037 in this pi. Allmon3.ini has port 5038 listed but that line is commented out.

Error 111 is "connection denied" which if you're running AMI on a different port for some reason is why it's failing. Allmon3 will retry every 15 seconds to re-establish it's configured connection(s) to AMI ports. If you're not using Allmon3 for the web dashboard, you can simply stop and disable the allmon3 service. If you are using the web dashboard, you'll need to fix the configuration in allmon3.ini.

OK, thanks, I'll try that, he is not using allmon.
