ArgumentException in LoggingMeterReport from Timer

.NET SDK
1

I randomly get this exception, which terminates my application as it is from ThreadPool / TimerQueue.

Is there a workaround I can use to stop this from happening?

The simple workaround is to disable the logging meter reporter when configuring ClusterOptions at startup.

options.LoggingMeterOptions.ReportingEnabled(false);

In fact, I generally recommend this (unless you are using it) to reduce overhead. Wiring into the .NET Metrics source is more performant.

I’ve also filed an issue to track the fix for this: https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/NCBC-3216

Can you provide steps to reproduce?

I wish I had some good steps to reproduce it.
It happened in our production system after many hours, sometimes a few days after starting.

We recently upgraded from SDK 2.x to 3.3.1 and have not observed this issue earlier.
After disabling LoggingMeter reporting, we have not seen this issue.

Thanks @Jon1, what version of .NET are you using?

We are using net6.0. Dotnet runtime is 6.0.401
