Log Refresh from Windows Shared Drive

[PeterAcquaviva]

I have 13 windows servers running plotting. One windows server has a mapped drive to each and is running plot status program. Plot Status shows many of the log files as dead, but really it is not reading them completely. When I look at each individual log file and compare to plot status "last log line" column, plot status is very far behind. It is not showing the most recent log line.

This is caused by your systems not properly updating the lastModfiedAt property on the network shared drives.

You can try to disable network share caching:
right click on the shared folder on the "serving" pc and choose properties
Choose the Sharing tab
Click "Advanced Sharing"
Click "Caching"
Select "No files or programs from the shared folder are available offline"
Restart Chia Plot Status

Alternatively, it that does not work, Chia Plot Status has a workaround. The problem is that workaround has a huge performance impact depending on the number of plot logs:

Close Chia Plot Status, got into your user profile directory (C:\Users<your-username>) and open the file ChiaPlotStatu.config.json.
Set the property AlwaysDoFullRead to true, save and start Chia Plot Status again.

This will force a full re-read of the files and disables all caches. Obviously, this will have a huge performance impact, depending on the number of log files you have.

Tried that. Did not help. Attached one of the files that's not working for you to look at. Possibly the app is choking on parsing the file.

Attaching files to the E-Mail reply does not work. Only way is to upload them on Github directly.

Parsing works fine for me.

Please check if you are running the current version.
If yes, try to copy the file to the local drive and add that folder to Chia Plot Status. If the problem disappears, then it is definitely an issue with the network drive file system not properly updating.
