How to use the inspector.

Once you have the inspector enabled ("/core inspect", or just "/co i"), you can do the following:

Left-click a block to see who placed that block.
Right-click a block to see what adjacent block was removed.
Right-click (place) a block in a location to see what block was removed at that location.
Right-click (place) a block in another block to see who placed it. (ex: place dirt in water to see who placed the water)
Right-click on a door,button,lever,chest,etc, to see who last used it.

A Few Reviews

"It's easy to use and lightning fast when it comes to rollbacks."
"I've been running a MC server since before Bukkit, so I've used just about every block logger out there. CoreProtect is the best and the fastest."
"Go with CoreProtect. It's fast, updated frequently, and logs WorldEdit."
"Overall it felt more natural, simpler, and much faster to use CoreProtect than Prism, which just doesn't compare."
"CoreProtect brings complex logging and rollbacks, whilst at the same time keeping a low profile."

Hi. I love CoreProtect (I couldn’t live without it), but I’ve a question: Is there a limit to how many actions are saved by CoreProtect, or will it store an infinite number of actions by an infinite number of players?

Hey,

Is there a way to disable the function to open chest silently ?

I'm the admin of a survival server and we use this plugin in case of thief but we're all playing in survival and opening a chest silently is... horrible

I've tried looking everywhere on internet on every forum and so on about this problem we have on a server, but this issue is nowhere to be found so I cannot find help for this.

The thing is that in creative there is always a bunch of Ender Crystals spawned everywhere with custom name that advertises other server. We have core protect but no way to check who placed them. We have tried checking block placements and click actions below, above, in and so on, on the place of a crystal. But it gives no info. Any help?

Is it possible to rollback a specific position, I can see there is the radius option but this forces you to be in the position? I've been trying to work out if it's possible to do a rollback without needing to be within radius of the area.

Been searching the command docs but struggling to find a way.

Thanks in advance!

You can specify `c:x,y,z` in a rollback command to specify a position.

I've recently noticed my console is full of errors, nothing is getting logged... I think I might have a corrupt database...

Gonna give some background info first, questions below. This seems like a pretty complex issue, and I feel it might be a bit of an unusual situation, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looking back at logs from a few days ago, I've found the following:

[01:34:46] [Server thread/INFO]: HesitantMads issued server command: /co i [01:34:50] [Thread-11/WARN]: org.sqlite.SQLiteException: [SQLITE_BUSY] The database file is locked (database is locked) [01:34:50] [Thread-11/WARN]: at org.sqlite.core.DB.newSQLException(DB.java:909) [01:34:50] [Thread-11/WARN]: at org.sqlite.core.DB.newSQLException(DB.java:921) [01:34:50] [Thread-11/WARN]: at org.sqlite.core.DB.throwex(DB.java:886) [01:34:50] [Thread-11/WARN]: at org.sqlite.core.NativeDB._exec_utf8(Native Method) [01:34:50] [Thread-11/WARN]: at org.sqlite.core.NativeDB._exec(NativeDB.java:87) [01:34:50] [Thread-11/WARN]: at org.sqlite.jdbc3.JDBC3Statement.executeUpdate(JDBC3Statement.java:116) [01:34:50] [Thread-11/WARN]: at net.coreprotect.database.Database.commitTransaction(Database.java:52) [01:34:50] [Thread-11/WARN]: at net.coreprotect.consumer.Process.processConsumer(Process.java:168) [01:34:50] [Thread-11/WARN]: at net.coreprotect.consumer.Consumer.run(Consumer.java:105) [01:34:50] [Thread-11/WARN]: at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

So one of my admins used the inspector, nothing unusual there so far. This error came up, not sure if it's just regular when the database is busy, or if it's relevant.

A little while later, another admin was doing some WorldEditing, and the first disk IO error came up...

[02:06:42] [Server thread/INFO]: GalvinNerth issued server command: //paste
[02:06:43] [Thread-11/WARN]: org.sqlite.SQLiteException: [SQLITE_IOERR_WRITE] I/O error in the VFS layer while trying to write to a file on disk (disk I/O error)

[02:06:43] [Thread-11/WARN]: at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

After that, the logs were full of "statement not executing"...

[02:08:23] [Thread-11/WARN]: java.sql.SQLException: statement is not executing
[02:08:23] [Thread-11/WARN]: at org.sqlite.core.CoreStatement.checkOpen(CoreStatement.java:50)

[02:08:23] [Thread-11/WARN]: at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

Then I got one "SQL error or missing database"...

[02:08:23] [Thread-11/WARN]: org.sqlite.SQLiteException: [SQLITE_ERROR] SQL error or missing database (cannot commit - no transaction is active)

After that, logs were spammed with disk IO errors again, which continued for several days, including after restarts, until I noticed it last night and shut down my server.

org.sqlite.SQLiteException: [SQLITE_IOERR_WRITE] I/O error in the VFS layer while trying to write to a file on disk (disk I/O error)

I opened up the database file in an SQLite Browser, and checked the timestamps - seems like it stopped logging altogether around 2:06:33 (last container transaction logged, 10 seconds before the first disk IO error) and the last mob death logged was 2:08:07 (just a couple minutes later).

My block table is massive and I can't get it to load in the SQLite browser without crashing. A CSV export of the block table is 18.7 GB and is over 500 million rows, MS Excel can load it, but runs out of memory when doing bigger queries on it, so I can't see the bottom.
It does report some 450+ errors, but I am not sure what that means. Searching for errors seems to pull up a lot of empty rows (null or 0 values).

My database as a whole is 154 GB - six years of logging, I know it's massive and I should probably purge. My server disk has ~75 GB free space, so space isn't an immediate concern.

So, with all that out of the way, here are my questions...

Any idea what could've happened to the database? I'm guessing that it somehow got corrupted, and now won't save new data (reading the existing data works fine). I looked up the SQLite errors, but I can't figure out what could've possibly happened. It doesn't seem to actually be a disk error, as far as I can tell.

Could the size of my database be an issue? I looked up what the OS and SQLite are capable of, and they should both be able to handle databases that were significantly larger. Does CoreProtect have anything that might cause it to struggle with such a large database?

Adding onto that, would purging the database, or switching to MySQL be a good option?

Most importantly, any idea how to check if the database is damaged, or attempt to repair it? I've looked through all the tables (except the block one, due to size) and nothing seems out of the ordinary.

EDIT: Forgot to include, CoreProtect version is 2.14.2 - looks like I'm a little behind, should I update to 2.14.4? Not sure if that would help or make things worse.
Server version is the final build of Spigot 1.12.2.

I have backups of the database, but most recent one is two months old, and I'd prefer not to lose that much data. One thing I was considering trying was copying rows from the current (broken) database, into the backup one, and seeing if that works. But I am not sure if the error is the actual data, the structure/meta of the database, or something else entirely.
