rpimonitord - heavy disk I/O (disk write count)

[vecjh]

Hi, I'm worried about heavy disk writes by rpimonitord as watched by iotop. Refer to the attachement. This is a 12h snapshot. I wonder which files are actually being written. And is there any way to decrease write volume.

Hi @lustyffh, do you have logging activated in daemon.conf (daemon.loglevel)?

The default logfile is /var/log/rpimonitor.log, and the first few lines should give a hint if there is any logs being written (any loglevel > 0 will log to some extent):

$ head  /var/log/rpimonitor.log
[2021/04/15-01:26:42] RPi-Monitor has been started with loglevel set to 3
                      Log level can be increased or decreased during runtime
                      by sending signal USR1 or USR2 with the command killall -USRx rpimonitord
