Repeated IBM bluemix Node Red app crashing; status 1

My Node Red application in IBM BlueMix is repeatedly crashing - once an hour - with no real error message other than "exited with status: 1."

  • How can I troubleshoot this issue?
  • Is there someone from IBM BlueMix support that monitors this that could take a look?

I looked at my logs and there's nothing in there that really says what's going on.

Edit per requests:

The regular log for "OUT/ERR" is scrolling so fast with HTTPD logs that I can't get it to copy/paste. Filtering to "ERR" Channel the only thing I see is below. I believe this is an error which occurs during deploy when the application restarts.

[App/0] ERR js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version

My Node Red application is gathering data from Wink, LIFX, and other IoT services and compiles them together into a Freeboard dashboard.

Caught crash on screenshot here -- not enough cred to post images so it'll only post as a link

Please edit your question to include the log output to see if we can see something more in it. Also some description about what your node-red flow is doing would be useful - hardillb
Did you create your Node-RED environment using the "Node-RED" starter? ... new-console.ng.bluemix.net/catalog/starters/node-red-starter - Kolban
Is there some where I can get the log as a file instead of through the Overview -> Logs pane? The HTTP messages are scrolling too fast and it won't let me select anything. - meissen
@Kolban - I used the Boilerplate for Node Red which includes Cloudant DB. - meissen
In your Bluemix dashboard, select your application and in the application area, you will find entries for "Files" and "Logs". In there you should find the histories of your runs. - Kolban

The zlib error was fixed in the 0.13.2 Node-RED release (that shipped 19/02/16).

If you re-stage your application is should pick up the new version of Node-RED

You can re-stage the application using the cf command line management application:

cf restage <app name>
