Process restarts often when using systemd service.

See original GitHub issue

I am not sure if this is expected behavior, so figured I’d open an issue.

Description When running as a service with systemd, the bgpalerter process will restart on its own every ~10 minutes.

note process memory usage at about 10m uptime, host has 1GB ram

I may have skipped this! 1Gb ram is not enough. Possibly you have in the system 500Mb free, the old version of BGPalerter required 1~1.2Gb, the new one requires 1.5Gb when enableAdvancedRpkiStats is true. So I would install it on a 4Gb vm. If you set enableAdvancedRpkiStats to false, with some swap it will work with 1Gb.

It’s a good topic tho, I need to write some requirements on the main page 😃

Appreciate your thorough responses! Definitely understand your points.

Could you try with enableAdvancedRpkiStats enabled? If you are dedicating the VM to BGPalerter, and there are no other processes using serious memory, you should be able to run it.

Yes, no problem, I’ll report back.
