Scheduler Overload

Too Many Entries

July 15th, 2024: Recently I was looking at issues with very large Scheduled Recording databases (thousands of entries), as scheduled runs were being missed.


As part of this work, I reduced the amount of information written to the logfile, this could have been:

  • Clogging up the main thread processing, also increasing the memory footprint.
  • Delaying the start of a recording.


I'm glad to say this solved the problem.

After too much grief, I've decided to stop using Wi-Fi to connect the small NUC systems in the computer room to my network: DX Cluster (Ubuntu) SDR Server (Windows) User Forums (Windows) These servers are in constant use, causing the wireless transmitter on my TP-Link AX50 to fail. By switching over to a wired network there's less demand on the wireless transmitter and the whole network has become far more reliable. In future I will only use Wi-fi when there's no alternative. I'm keeping a spare router ready just in case the AX50 fails.
