Hello

After a few days after my first installation my logs are growing.

  • I setup some things (some days before),
  • made some graphs and
  • currently they dont show anything.

But: jdbc persistence still get records. hmm

Errors e.g. (a lot of them):

[ERROR] [internal.JSONResponseExceptionMapper] - Unexpected exception occurred while processing REST request.
java.util.NoSuchElementException: null

Hint: After restart the service the statistic pages are back. I’m wondering. Is there a need to restart services?

Each Item has metadata (click on one of the items).
The metadata may provide State Description, which may provide additional config.

The warning is about wrong stateDescription (most likely the pattern is wrong) which is ignored as a consequence. So what’s the state description look like?

Other values are empty (not filled asuming string: “”) :wink:

Please try %.1f °C instead. last week I got a message about failing %unit% in stateDescription Pattern

Thank you!

I gave a wrong screenshot but your hints gave me a direction!

the items had a wrong value in the ‘step’, was: 0,5, now: 0.5 and the warning at the logs are gone! Also the exception (currently).
