Hello,

I have a lot of logs like these:

2020-02-17T09:22:17.249Z [WARN] Worker overloaded; droppedRequests=2 totalRequests=2 initiatedSessions=0 pid=1244  
2020-02-17T09:22:27.232Z [WARN] Worker overloaded; droppedRequests=5 totalRequests=5 initiatedSessions=0 pid=1243  
2020-02-17T09:22:27.250Z [WARN] Worker overloaded; droppedRequests=3 totalRequests=3 initiatedSessions=0 pid=1244  
2020-02-17T09:22:37.232Z [WARN] Worker overloaded; droppedRequests=2 totalRequests=2 initiatedSessions=0 pid=1243  
2020-02-17T09:22:37.251Z [WARN] Worker overloaded; droppedRequests=3 totalRequests=3 initiatedSessions=0 pid=1244  
2020-02-17T09:22:47.232Z [WARN] Worker overloaded; droppedRequests=4 totalRequests=4 initiatedSessions=0 pid=1243  
2020-02-17T09:22:47.251Z [WARN] Worker overloaded; droppedRequests=3 totalRequests=3 initiatedSessions=0 pid=1244

and no device is updated at all.  
Should I increase the number of worker processes ?

Thanks,

BR

This may be a bug. Can you update to the latest master and see if the issue persists?

Hi,

I cloned the master branch this morning, and I still have the issue:

I already tried to increase the nomber or workers, but the issue remains, and it uses to much RAM.

But it seems to have improved other issues.

Hi

I set GENIEACS\_MAX\_CONCURRENT\_REQUESTS to 200, and now everything is OK.
