Graphic spikes when bOS makes a backup

Hey clickers,

I'm having a weird problem again, Our client demanded graphics for every meter (C/H water, electricity and for the whole building ventilation system) and i noticed that when we did a backup of the bOS configuration or the server did a restart, we got weird spikes in graphics that sometimes where lower values and some were higher values. The water and electricity info is collected and readout by Anybus mbus to modbus and the ventilation values are collected with usb modbus dongle. Pic below has a week view but actually the value rises again after the server get the correct value again from Anybus.

Lower value spike, goes back to normal after 15min.

Higher value spike, goes back to normal after 15min

The thing is that I've been watching the raw logs from Anybus and these spikes don't come from Anybus... And when i look at the database files I see that right after the bOS server comes up it writes a unknown value and 15minutes(thats the update time of Anybus) later it will update it to the correct one. How to get rid of them spikes and where to they come from? And as you see from the picture the spikes are random not every meter is affected by it. I now have corrected the value spikes manually.

Hello,

did you also try removing the graph completely and make a new one and see if we get the values?

Best regards.

Hey,

So on friday we changed the server.

Now i noticed this error "Debug : 25/03/2019 12:04:24 : Devices\ANYBUS MAJA 4 : Exception : Debug : Package error 15: Unknown error code: 255"

Any idea what is this?

Problem is that some graphics wont update its value, even though Anybus sees the correct value. And even when i manually read and write values it wont update graphic. I have rechecked the input value linking etc, everything seems to be correct. So far affected graphics are only for water meters and for 4 apartments, electricity and heating seem to update fine.

Edit: Turns out i was wrong. Graphics will update when i manually update them with a higher value. Its wont update for some reason when the value is same but date is different.

Yes we can, but as this server(Running on a NUC) is temporary right now, we don't have a monitor on it so the resolution is small. Still waiting for the server to arrive.

As a update we had another spike last night. For apartment 36 hot water meter.

could we schedule a teamviewer session and check this issue and see what may be causing it?

Update: So it happened again, this time i haven't done any backups, the server has been online(no restarts) and its the only meter that did this. We also tested the water flow and the meter is not counting backwards.

Pic from the graphic db: yesterday 18.03.19 it counted backwards.

Pic from the water meter:

Pic from Anybus: Sees the correct value

I don't know what's causing it.
