Removal of WARN console:service unable to get Satellite URL

Node Operators troubleshooting
1

Hello together,

on some of my older nodes I’m receiving the Warn Message in two lines:

WARN    console:service unable to get Satellite URL     {"Process": "storagenode", "Satellite ID": "1wFTAgs9DP5RSnCqKV1eLf6N9wtk4EAtmN5DpSxcs8EjT69tGE", "error": "console: trust: satellite is untrusted", "errorVerbose": "console: trust: satellite is untrusted\n\tstorj.io/storj/storagenode/trust.init:29\n\truntime.doInit1:7350\n\truntime.doInit:7317\n\truntime.main:254"}

I have gracefully-exited these and am still receiving this warn messages. On some newer nodes I also gracefully-exited those and there I don’t receive such warn messages. In both config files the saltlake sattelite is set as untrusted:

list of trust exclusions
storage2.trust.exclusions: “1wFTAgs9DP5RSnCqKV1eLf6N9wtk4EAtmN5DpSxcs8EjT69tGE@saltlake.tardigrade.io:7777”

Can someone explain how do I remove the warn messages from the older nodes?

Thanks and kind regards,

Walter

Ah it’s likely related to the forget sattelite. Somehow the forgetting of saltlake didn’t work.

I think there is still a bug in the forget sattelite mechanic. When I have saltlake in storage2.trust.exclusions it is not picking it in the forget command, even though it is in the config.yaml:

list of trust exclusions
storage2.trust.exclusions: “1wFTAgs9DP5RSnCqKV1eLf6N9wtk4EAtmN5DpSxcs8EjT69tGE@saltlake.tardigrade.io:7777”

When I do now:

docker exec -it STORJ-N ./storagenode forget-satellite --all-untrusted --config-dir config --identity-dir identity

STORJ-N for the docker-container it is stating:

root@server:~# docker exec -it STORJ-N ./storagenode forget-satellite --all-untrusted --config-dir config --identity-dir identity
2025-09-12T19:36:24Z INFO Configuration loaded {“Process”: “storagenode”, “Location”: “/app/config/config.yaml”}
2025-09-12T19:36:24Z INFO Invalid configuration file value for key {“Process”: “storagenode”, “Key”: “metrics.interval”}
2025-09-12T19:36:25Z INFO Anonymized tracing enabled {“Process”: “storagenode”}
2025-09-12T19:36:25Z INFO Identity loaded. {“Process”: “storagenode”, “Node ID”: “12Mio1W9tQTmfjnwRkozfAYKR2wnqfp8H9sLpGurLbG1tYV75GV”}
2025-09-12T19:36:25Z INFO No untrusted satellites found. You can add satellites to the exclusions list in the config.yaml file. {“Process”: “storagenode”}

It just works with:

docker exec -it STORJ-N ./storagenode forget-satellite --force 1wFTAgs9DP5RSnCqKV1eLf6N9wtk4EAtmN5DpSxcs8EjT69tGE --config-dir config --identity-dir identity

Then you are getting the result:

2025-09-12T19:41:33Z    INFO    Configuration loaded    {"Process": "storagenode", "Location": "/app/config/config.yaml"}
2025-09-12T19:41:33Z    INFO    Invalid configuration file value for key        {"Process": "storagenode", "Key": "metrics.interval"}

1wFTAgs9DP5RSnCqKV1eLf6N9wtk4EAtmN5DpSxcs8EjT69tGE  In Progress

You can then see it even in the logs file. Here the initializing:

2025-09-12T19:38:02Z    INFO    forgetsatellite:endpoint        initializing forget satellite   {"Process": "storagenode", "satelliteID": "1wFTAgs9DP5RSnCqKV1eLf6N9wtk4EAtmN5DpSxcs8EjT69tGE", "action": "InitForgetSatellite"}

Then after some seconds:
