[Solved] Webhook locked up

Solved
1

@Dmitriy I have the following entry in server.properties of a cloud based Blynk server to allow unlimited Webhook posts:

webhooks.frequency.user.quota.limit=-1

It’s been happily posting data at approximately 5s intervals for a few weeks. Today I noticed it stopped around 4pm yesterday.

The log, set at info verbosity, has the following entries for yesterday:

No errors in the log for today but no webhooks posts allowed.
I have rebooted the cloud server and webhooks posts have restarted.

In case you see this again - please try to open webhook widget settings and start the project again. If that helps, then the problem is below.

Remote server could go down for the maintenance. And server stops sending webhooks after 10 failures. So this could be a reason.

I actually have 2 separate systems posting at 10s intervals i.e. 5s interval average. That maybe why I see around 22 error messages rather than 10.

I’ll add some code in our sketch to check for the “OK” that the webhook url provides and to email me if it stops again.
