  • 1.  Airmatch error - couldn't connect to server

    Posted Sep 13, 2022 06:24 PM

    I'm trying to view some airmatch info via cli, and I'm getting the following error:

    Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:147

    I get this trying to run: 
    show airmatch optimization
    show airmatch solution ap-name <ap-name>
    ...and other cmds.

    Airmatch should be running, as it appears enabled:

    (conductor) [mynode] # show airmatch profile
    AirMatch profile
    ----------------
    Parameter Value
    --------- -----
    schedule Enabled
    deploy-hour 5 AM
    quality-threshold 8 percent

    Couldn't find anything of note in the conductor logs.

    Any ideas on what I could check? Are there processes I could check? Can the airmatch module crash? Thanks for any ideas or direction.

    Looks like the database (MongoDB) is not running. AirMatch uses that to store data. You could check the mongodb:
    (MM01) *[mynode] #show netstat | include 27017
    u_str  LISTEN     0      0      /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock 173728929                 * 0     users:(("mongod",pid=24012,fd=19))
    tcp    LISTEN     0      0              127.0.0.1:27017                 *:*      users:(("mongod",pid=24012,fd=17))
    tcp    ESTAB      0      0              127.0.0.1:50496         127.0.0.1:27017  users:(("python",pid=6707,fd=3))​
    ... then the line with LISTEN and 127.0.0.1:27017; so third line in this example. Every process can potentially crash, but it's not expected, so it may be good to open a TAC case. This is nothing that an end-user should be aware of, in fact, it's the first time I see that this process is running, never bothered as it just works. You could also just reboot your MCR/MM, and see if the process comes back. You can also restart the mongod process: "(MM01) *[mynode] #process restart mongod"; but if it stopped there is probably a reason that needs to be found to prevent the same happening time after time.

    Thanks Herman! I'll check what you suggest and possibly open the TAC case. Agreed, it would be nice to know why it crashed.
