Delayed processing when central server comes up?

Help & Support
1

Lately I’ve really become enamored of the RPI2 and decided to move a lot of functions over to it.

My new setup includes the main HTPC (with much storage directly attached), and nzbget on the PI so that the main HTPC can sleep or hibernate while downloads are going on but nothing is really required of the main box. This works great, because when the box wakes up, sonarr goes out to check the status, sees some downloads stacked up, and imports them, copying them from the pi to the main HTPC.

Further to that though, I’d like to even put sonarr on the Pi. Unfortunately I think this will mean I lose the “stacked up” functionality. I don’t really want sonarr to wake up the main HTPC when a download is done, I want the main HTPC to wake up whenever, and then receive whatever stuff needs to be copied over to it. I guess I would call this sort of delayed post processing?

Anyways, I guess this isn’t really possible, but I don’t actually know how sonarr will behave when it tries to rename and move an item to unavailable storage.

Yes, I know the real solution here is to get some kind of low power storage setup, but I’ve really got enough devices, too much cost involved to try and put the drives into a many bay NAS, and building my own is fine but still contains some challenges I’m not quite ready to want to take on.

Any advice appreciated, thanks

Sonarr would try to omport, bit it would fail because the server isn’t available and likely log an error/warning, then it would try to same thing a minute later. Sonarr should operate normally, but the logs are going to be full of the same .messages over and over.

Thanks Markus. Is there any way for me to affect that one minute duration at all or somehow mitigate this a bit?

No, the interval is not configurable (and we don’t plan to change that behavior).

I can’t think of a way to mitigate it.

Thanks for the response. Of course I didn’t expect it to be configurable just for me, I hope I didn’t imply that.

I only see the one option in sonarr to change the log level, I assume changing this won’t make a difference, but if I were to have a setup like this, would I have to add some kind of log management on my own to head off issues? (like disk space maybe?)

No, log files will max out at 6 or 52 files depending on the level (trace and debug are 51), each file is 1MB.

The log DB will keep 30 days of logs, which varies in size, not sure what is normal there.
