Anyone know of a fix for failed items not appearing in the history?

Thanks,

How do you know a job failed if it’s not in the history?

I see its going to fail due to missing parts or whatever its showing during download and then disappears from active once it gives up. It never appears in the history.

Which SABnzbd version are you running? Which OS?

Windows SABnzbd version: 2.3.2

And lastly, were these queue items sent from a grabber like CouchPotato?

I have been using either rss or dropped into sab via web interface or watch folder. Just added sonarr to the mix so it'd be nice if the failed retry feature worked. I went ahead and deleted my history1.db and threw something into the queue I knew recently failed - waiting for it to give up now.

Ok it failed out and nothing in the history

Are you performing any post-processing?

Could you enable +Debug logging, download a small job and then share the portion of the log after "Starting Post-Processing on".

No post processing that I know of other then file checking.
Here's the setting in that section - https://ibb.co/bKhbJm

One change I can think of doing in the last couple months is the history limit - I've gone ahead and removed it and restarted Sab.
And now failed jobs are showing again...
Guess back to the old issue of the history.db growing so large it takes the entire vm to it's knees.

safihre is that this in special? - debug_log_decoding

No, in the Status and Interface settings window (the wrench icon) on Glitter is where you can set Debug.

But seems you already fixed it! Debug setting would only slow your system down.

"fixed", but will cause bigger issues soon enough with the rate my history grows.
I'll probably have to script something to clear it once a week if this is the work-around to the failed showing or not.

There is a setting in Config > Switches called "History Retention" where you can set auto-deleting of history!
What number of downloads are we talking about? I never knew about a limit really.

Yeah, I had that set to 1000 as shown here - https://ibb.co/bKhbJm
Which apparently was the cause of the failed not working/appearing.
As for total # of downloads... I'm nearing 800 since i reset it yesterday.
