jive5ab — Troubleshooting

No VDIF data recorded to disk

Cause: The VDIFPacker is not sending to the correct IP/port, or jive5ab_recording_path is not mounted.

Resolution: Verify udp.dest_ip and udp.dest_port in the VDIFPacker configuration point to the jive5ab container. Check that jive5ab_recording_path is defined and the host path exists.

docker exec edd_jive5ab ls /data/

Field System cannot connect to port 2620

Cause: The container is not running, or the port is not reachable from the Field System host.

Resolution: Check container status and verify network routing:

docker ps | grep jive5ab
docker logs edd_jive5ab

Container exits immediately after start

Cause: The jive5ab binary fails to bind port 2620 (already in use).

Resolution: Check for other processes or containers using port 2620 on the host:

ss -tlnp | grep 2620
