For the last couple of months my instance has stopped every week or so and I get some server error like

Process "459072" from pidfile not found, deleting pidfile

I havent seen anyone else post about this, but it seems something to do with mongo database. Any ideas?

You can get rid of those warnings by upgrading nodejs.

Strange thing today is there were additional warnings. So not sure if this is connected or another issue?

ok done. Back to the first issue, I fix each time with

sudo systemctl restart mongod

But not sure why the error occurs

Couple things to check if your nodebb is dieing.

  1. Check nodebb logs for any crashes.
  2. Make sure server has enough ram and swap enabled for spikes.
