Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Service Not Starting

# Check service logs
sudo journalctl -u aitbc-coordinator-api.service -n 50

# Check Python environment (must be 3.13+)
cd /opt/aitbc/apps/coordinator-api
source .venv/bin/activate
python --version  # Should show 3.13.x

# Check permissions
ls -la /opt/aitbc/apps/coordinator-api/

Database Issues

# Check database file
ls -la /opt/aitbc/apps/coordinator-api/aitbc_coordinator.db

# Test database connection
sqlite3 /opt/aitbc/apps/coordinator-api/aitbc_coordinator.db ".tables"

# Recreate database if corrupted
mv /opt/aitbc/apps/coordinator-api/aitbc_coordinator.db /opt/aitbc/apps/coordinator-api/aitbc_coordinator.db.backup

Port Conflicts (New Port Logic)

# Check port usage (new port logic)
sudo netstat -tlnp | grep -E ":(8000|8001|8003|8010|8011|8012|8013|8014|8015|8016|8017)"

# Kill conflicting processes
sudo fuser -k 8000/tcp  # Core services
sudo fuser -k 8010/tcp  # Enhanced services

# Restart services
sudo systemctl restart aitbc-coordinator-api.service

Container Access Issues

# Test 0.0.0.0 binding (for container access)
curl -s http://localhost:8017/health  # Should work
curl -s http://10.1.223.1:8017/health  # Should work from containers

# Check service binding
sudo netstat -tlnp | grep :8017  # Should show 0.0.0.0:8017

Permission Issues

# Fix file ownership (standardized)
sudo chown -R aitbc:aitbc /opt/aitbc

# Fix file permissions
sudo chmod -R 755 /opt/aitbc
chmod 600 /opt/aitbc/apps/coordinator-api/.env

Performance Issues

High Memory Usage

# Check memory usage
free -h
ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -10

# Optimize Python processes
# Reduce worker count in service files
# Implement database connection pooling

High CPU Usage

# Check CPU usage
top
ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -10

# Optimize database queries
# Add database indexes
# Implement caching

Maintenance

Daily Tasks

# Service health check (updated for new port logic)
/opt/aitbc/scripts/monitor-services.sh

# Log rotation
sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/aitbc

# Backup database
cp /opt/aitbc/apps/coordinator-api/aitbc_coordinator.db /opt/aitbc/backups/aitbc_coordinator_$(date +%Y%m%d).db

Weekly Tasks

# System updates
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

# Service restart
sudo systemctl restart aitbc-*.service

# Performance review
/opt/aitbc/scripts/monitor-services.sh > /opt/aitbc/logs/weekly_$(date +%Y%m%d).log

Monthly Tasks

# Security updates
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

# Database maintenance
sqlite3 /opt/aitbc/apps/coordinator-api/aitbc_coordinator.db "VACUUM;"

# Log cleanup
find /opt/aitbc/logs -name "*.log" -mtime +30 -delete

• Backup encryption
• Access control
• Audit logging

Backup and Recovery

Automated Backup Script

cat > /opt/aitbc/scripts/backup.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
BACKUP_DIR="/opt/aitbc/backups"
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)

# Create backup directory
mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR

# Backup database
cp /opt/aitbc/apps/coordinator-api/aitbc_coordinator.db $BACKUP_DIR/aitbc_coordinator_$DATE.db

# Backup configuration
tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/config_$DATE.tar.gz /opt/aitbc/config/

# Backup scripts
tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/scripts_$DATE.tar.gz /opt/aitbc/scripts/

# Backup service configurations
tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/services_$DATE.tar.gz /etc/systemd/system/aitbc-*.service

# Clean old backups (keep 7 days)
find $BACKUP_DIR -name "*.db" -mtime +7 -delete
find $BACKUP_DIR -name "*.tar.gz" -mtime +7 -delete

echo "Backup completed: $DATE"
EOF

chmod +x /opt/aitbc/scripts/backup.sh
chown aitbc:aitbc /opt/aitbc/scripts/backup.sh

Recovery Procedures

# Stop services
sudo systemctl stop aitbc-*.service

# Restore database
cp /opt/aitbc/backups/aitbc_coordinator_YYYYMMDD.db /opt/aitbc/apps/coordinator-api/aitbc_coordinator.db

# Restore configuration
tar -xzf /opt/aitbc/backups/config_YYYYMMDD.tar.gz -C /

# Restore service configurations
tar -xzf /opt/aitbc/backups/services_YYYYMMDD.tar.gz -C /
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

# Start services
sudo systemctl start aitbc-*.service
