Pulse Hanging

Hi Folks,

We are running Deadline 5.0 and over the last day have noticed some odd behavior from Pulse.
Slaves were getting no jobs from Pulse even though several Jobs were queued. A manual restart of Pulse resolved.
I dug into the log and found an interesting bit here.

This was the last entry in the log. Nothing seemed amiss prior. I manually rebooted and slaves began picking up jobs again.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Yeah, there’s nothing obvious in the log, and the information about shutting down is just because you restarted the machine. I’m glad to hear that things are running properly now, but if it happens again, let us know and we can try to debug further.

Cheers,
