Many mns inactives dashninja.pl

Watchdog expired error message on all my masternodes, restarting my masternodes also does not help
Sentinel maybe under attack or malfunctioning ?
 
WATCHDOG_EXPIRED here as well.

Running ./venv/bin/python bin/sentinel.py comes up with errors (sometimes)

Code:

thanks! no errors anymore.
but i guess we have to restart masternode from the wallet?
if yes, then payment counter resets. :(

No restart necessary, unless too much time expired. First try git pull and check if your masternode gets ENABLED (./dash-cli masternode list full | grep -e IPADDRESS).
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my masternodes have not expired yet, we have more or less about a hour to fix this, before we get bumped off the payment list.

Update : in this specific case there is no time limit, your masternode does not risk getting bumped of the payment list.

thanks man! you are awesome!
i see "enabled". 1 and a half hour has passed.
but what does "waited too long" means? how many hours inactive?
edit: i see "active" now so i hope all are back on track ;)

1 hour i think, so it could be a close call for some.

Note : dashninja.pl shows the current state of masternodes faster then Dash Central,
just give it some time if you are checking on Dash Central..

then there are some problems (like sentinel) that are not affecting payments?

In this case the problem was Sentinel crashing before being able to vote on the watchdog.
There is a timeout window of 180min until a watchdog vote MUST be done

Code:
static const int MASTERNODE_NEW_START_REQUIRED_SECONDS  = 180 * 60;

So if you have updated your Sentinel during this 180min window your node will be fine. If you have missed this window, your node will be degraded to NEW_START_REQUIRED state - and this means you'll need to restart your node, affecting the payment...

So having spork 14 off does not keep masternodes active as nmarley mentioned in his edit ?

Note: This is required or your Masternode will go offline!
(edit: Apparently w/spork 14 off this isn't enforce, so crisis averted!)
