Heimdall has synchronization issues

Question

My Full Node is running on Bor v1.0.6 + Heimdall v1.0.2.

We notice that our Heimdall service often drops peers and throws Stopping Peer for Error Logs.

Is there any steps to prevent or overcome this?

We did try restarting the services but again the issue persists.

Answer 1

There are 2 suggestions for this issue.

1. Try clearing addrbook.json

Stop heimdalld service

sudo service heimdalld stop

Clear your addrbook

sudo service heimdalld stop

cp /var/lib/heimdall/config/addrbook.json /var/lib/heimdall/config/addrbook.json.bkp

rm /var/lib/heimdall/config/addrbook.json

Increase max_num_inbound_peers and max_num_outbound_peers in /var/lib/heimdall/config/config.toml:

max_num_inbound_peers = 300
max_num_outbound_peers = 100

Start heimdalld service:

sudo service heimdalld start

2. Try adding additional seeds on config.toml file.
