The process Process 'Update Device State' has a default frequency of 1 min, but we have a large number of device groups, over a thousand, i see this every minute 'already running, not starting, proc name Update Device State' And after a few minutes it then sends a signal 15, and terminals the process 'Process Update Device State has caught signal 15 and is exiting.'

I'm wondering whats the implications if i change the time factor to allow the process to run longer, or if there is an limitation to the number of device groups that should be allowed?

Hello James,

 

The Update Device State process is responsible for updating the status of devices within Skylar One. If you are seeing SIGTERMs with this process, please open a Support Incident so that issue can be properly investigated and fixed. Increasing the time factor will affect the accuracy of status reporting for devices so it is more desirable to fix those issues rather than try to mask them by changing the settings of the process.
