Node exporter is in failed state, journalctl says:
level=fatal msg="listen tcp :9100: bind: address already in use" source="node_exporter.go:114"
I tried reset-failed and restarting the service still the same issue. Then i listed processes using 9100 port and killed the process (the process was a node_exporter process) but right after i kill it whether normally or with -9 it just starts a new process as a result my 9100 port is always in use and can't start node_exporter because of it. Is there a solution for this?
Learn process-id of process, who use port 9100
netstat -lpn | grep 9100
Learn parent pid of process
ps -p PID -o ppid
If parent process is systemd(pid is 1), then find its service name via
systemctl status PID
And decide what to do with it.
If parent process is not systemd, but something like containerd-shim, this means that this process is managed via Kubernetes Daemonset.
In such case you need to decide to reuse existing process, or to change port in your node_exporter.service, you may add --web.listen-address=:9101 to ExecStart property in your service manifest and apply systemctl daemon-reload, then restart your service.
I had the same issue, but I found a solution:
search the process that uses 9100 port:
ss -ntpl 9100
look what PID of process and then kill him:
kill <pid>
Also, remember about node taints and tolerations
I have a simple server running in node.js using connect:
var server = require('connect').createServer();
//actions...
server.listen(3000);
In my code I have actual handlers, but thats the basic idea. The problem I keep getting is
EADDRINUSE, Address already in use
I receive this error when running my application again after it previously crashed or errors. Since I am not opening a new instance of terminal I close out the process with ctr + z.
I am fairly certain all I have to do is close out the server or connection. I tried calling server.close() in process.on('exit', ...); with no luck.
First, you would want to know which process is using port 3000
sudo lsof -i :3000
this will list all PID listening on this port, once you have the PID you can terminate it with the following:
kill -9 <PID>
where you replace <PID> by the process ID, or the list of process IDs, the previous command output.
You can also go the command line route:
ps aux | grep node
to get the process ids.
Then:
kill -9 PID
Doing the -9 on kill sends a SIGKILL (instead of a SIGTERM).
SIGTERM has been ignored by node for me sometimes.
I hit this on my laptop running win8. this worked.
Run cmd.exe as 'Administrator':
C:\Windows\System32>taskkill /F /IM node.exe
SUCCESS: The process "node.exe" with PID 11008 has been terminated.
process.on('exit', ..) isn't called if the process crashes or is killed. It is only called when the event loop ends, and since server.close() sort of ends the event loop (it still has to wait for currently running stacks here and there) it makes no sense to put that inside the exit event...
On crash, do process.on('uncaughtException', ..) and on kill do process.on('SIGTERM', ..)
That being said, SIGTERM (default kill signal) lets the app clean up, while SIGKILL (immediate termination) won't let the app do anything.
Check the PID i.e. id of process running on port 3000 with below command :
lsof -i tcp:3000
It would output something like following:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 5805 xyz 12u IPv6 63135 0t0 TCP *:3000 (LISTEN)
Now kill the process using :
kill -9 5805
For macOS Monterey(12.0):
Apple introduced some changes for AirPlay on macOS Monterey. Now, it uses 5000 and 7000 ports. If you are using these ports in your project, you need to disable this feature.
System Preferences > Sharing > untick AirPlay Receiver
For macOS Ventura(13.0) and above users:
System Settings > General > disable AirPlay Receiver
I found this solution, try it
Give permission use sudo
sudo pkill node
I usually use
npx kill-port 3000
or on my mac.
killall node
Rewriting #Gerard 's comment in my answer:
Try pkill nodejs or pkill node if on UNIX-like OS.
This will kill the process running the node server running on any port.
Worked for me.
Linux
Run ps and determine the PID of your node process.
Then, run sudo kill PID
Windows
Use tasklist to display the list of running processes:
tasklist /O
Then, kill the node process like so (using the PID obtained from the tasklist command):
taskkill /pid PID
Here is a one liner (replace 3000 with a port or a config variable):
kill $(lsof -t -i:3000)
For windows open Task Manager and find node.exe processes. Kill all of them with End Task.
I was getting this error once and took many of the approaches here.
My issues was that I had two app.listen(3000); calls in the same app.js script. The first app.listen() succeeded where the second threw the error.
Another useful command I came across that helped me debug was sudo fuser -k 3000/tcp which will kill any rogue processes you might have started (some processes may restart, e.g. if run with forever.js, but it was useful for me).
For Visual Studio Noobs like me
You may be running the process in other terminals!
After closing the terminal in Visual Studio, the terminal just disappears.
I manually created a new one thinking that the previous one was destroyed. In reality, every time I was clicking on New Terminal I was actually creating a new one on top of the previous ones.
So I located the first terminal and... Voila, I was running the server there.
Windows by Cmd
1/2. search => write cmd => open node.js command prompt
2/2. Run windows command: taskkill
Ends one or more tasks or processes.
taskkill /f /im node.exe
/f - force ended
/im - Specifies the image name of the process to be terminated.
node.exe - executable file
Windows - Mannualy by Task Manager
This command is the same as going to Task Manager under the details tab & select node tasks (Tidy in my opinion).
And end task
Visual studio
Sometimes there is more than one terminal/task (client/server and so on).
Select and close by ctrl + c.
You may run into scenarios where even killing the thread or process won't actually terminate the app (this happens for me on Linux and Windows every once in a while). Sometimes you might already have an instance running that you didn't close.
As a result of those kinds of circumstances, I prefer to add to my package.json:
"scripts": {
"stop-win": "Taskkill /IM node.exe /F",
"stop-linux": "killall node"
},
I can then call them using:
npm run stop-win
npm run stop-Linux
You can get fancier and make those BIN commands with an argument flag if you want. You can also add those as commands to be executed within a try-catch clause.
FYI, you can kill the process in one command sudo fuser -k 3000/tcp. This can be done for all other ports like 8000, 8080 or 9000 which are commonly used for development.
ps aux | grep node
kill -9 [PID] (provided by above command)
Description:
ps will give the process status, aux provide the list of a: all users processes, u: user own processes, x: all other processes not attached to terminal.
pipe symbol: | will pass the result of ps aux to manipulate further.
grep will search the string provided(node in our case) from the list provided by ps aux.
First find out what is running using:
sudo lsof -nP -i4TCP:3000 | grep LISTEN
You will get something like:
php-fpm 110 root 6u IPv4 0x110e2ba1cc64b26d 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:3000 (LISTEN)
php-fpm 274 _www 0u IPv4 0x110e2ba1cc64b26d 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:3000 (LISTEN)
php-fpm 275 _www 0u IPv4 0x110e2ba1cc64b26d 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:3000 (LISTEN)
Then you can kill the process as followed:
sudo kill 110
Then you will be able to run without getting the listen EADDRINUSE :::3000 errors
Really simply for all OS's ..
npx kill-port 3000
Although your problem is as mentioned above you need to catch the different ways node can exit for example
process.on('uncaughtException', (err, origin) => {
console.log(err);
});
// insert other handlers.
bash$ sudo netstat -ltnp | grep -w ':3000'
- tcp6 0 0 :::4000 :::* LISTEN 31157/node
bash$ kill 31157
PowerShell users:
Taskkill /IM node.exe /F
UI solution For Windows users: I found that the top answers did not work for me, they seemed to be commands for Mac or Linux users. I found a simple solution that didn't require any commands to remember: open Task Manager (ctrl+shift+esc). Look at background processes running. Find anything Node.js and end the task.
After I did this the issue went away for me. As stated in other answers it's background processes that are still running because an error was previously encountered and the regular exit/clean up functions didn't get called, so one way to kill them is to find the process in Task Manager and kill it there. If you ran the process from a terminal/powerShell you can usually use ctrl+c to kill it.
Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del) ->
Processes tab ->
select the "node.exe" process and hit "End Process"
Just in case check if you have added this line multiple times by mistake
app.listen(3000, function() {
console.log('listening on 3000')
});
The above code is for express but just check if you are trying to use the same port twice in your code.
In windows users: open task manager and end task the nodejs.exe file, It works fine.
On Windows, I was getting the following error:
EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::8081.
Followed these steps:
Opened CMD as Admin
Ran the folowing
command netstat -ano|findstr "PID :8081"
got the following processes:
killed it via:
taskkill /pid 43144 /f
On MAC you can do like this:
raghavkhunger#MacBook-Air ~ % lsof -i tcp:8081
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 23722 username 24u IPv6 0xeed16d7ccfdd347 0t0 TCP *:sunproxyadmin (LISTEN)
username#MacBook-Air ~ % kill -9 23722
With due respect to all the answers in the form, I would like to add a point.
I found that when I terminate a node app on error using Ctrl + Z, the very next time when I try to open it got the same error EADDRINUSE.
When I use Ctrl + C to terminate a node app, the next time I opened it, it did without a hitch.
Changing the port number to something other than the one in error solved the issue.
using netstat to get all node processes with the port they are using and then kill the only one you want by PID
netstat -lntp | grep node
you will get all node processes
tcp6 0 0 :::5744 :::* LISTEN 3864/node
and then when you get the PID (3864) just kill the processes by PID
kill -HUP PID
You may use hot-node to prevent your server from crashing/ run-time-errors. Hot-node automatically restarts the nodejs application for you whenever there is a change in the node program[source] / process[running node program].
Install hot-node using npm using the global option:
npm install -g hotnode
Hello everyone So I have this annoying problem where my port isn't closing. For example I'm using an express generator to give me an outline/skeleton of a node js/express server.
Port 3000 is already in use
Usually I would just able to CTRL + Z and it would exit out the server.
But recently it wasn't exiting out of the server completely.
I found a little work around which was this
lsof -wni tcp:3000
It would then generate something like this
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 5623 viet 12u IPv6 59797 0t0 TCP *:3000 (LISTEN)
I would locate the PID and then kill it with this command
kill -9 5623
But now it just becomes quite annoying doing this over and over everytime I exit out of a server. Does anyone know why its doing this or I guess why CTRL Z wasn't working how It used to.
Ctrl+Z in Unix-based operating systems just suspends the application.
If you do
ps aux|grep node
and then
kill -9 processid
you should be able to reclaim the port.
Going forward, Ctrl+C to shut down the application.
try this
sudo fuser -k 3000/tcp
I run a few processes that I created myself on my Ubuntu Server, and to kill them I run:
sudo fuser -n tcp PORT
kill -9 PID-DISPLAYED
Is there any way I can obtain the PID from a port using a shell script, then kill it by running the shell script.
Thanks.
fuser can kill it:
-k, --kill
Kill processes accessing the file. Unless changed
with -SIGNAL, SIGKILL is sent. An fuser process
never kills itself, but may kill other fuser processes.
The effective user ID of the process executing fuser is
set to its real user ID before attempting to kill.
Try using either killall, or pkill, either of which will close all processes of the type of argument you describe, for example:
killall firefox
Will kill all running instances of firefox.
See
this link of pkill.
i am testing a server written in nodejs on windows 7
and when i try to run the tester in the command line i get the following error
Error: listen EADDRINUSE
at errnoException (net.js:614:11)
at Array.0 (net.js:704:26)
at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:192:40)
how can I fix it without rebooting?
Run:
ps -ax | grep node
You'll get something like:
60778 ?? 0:00.62 /usr/local/bin/node abc.js
Then do:
kill -9 60778
It means the address you are trying to bind the server to is in use. Try another port or close the program using that port.
On Linux (Ubuntu derivatives at least)
killall node
is easier than this form.
ps | grep <something>
kill <somepid>
Neither will work if you have a orphaned child holding the port. Instead, do this:
netstat -punta | grep <port>
If the port is being held you'll see something like this:
tcp 0 0.0.0.0:<port> 0.0.0.* LISTEN <pid>/<parent>
Now kill by pid:
kill -9 <pid>
The following command will give you a list of node processes running.
ps | grep node
To free up that port, stop the process using the following.
kill <processId>
You are getting the error EADDRINUSE because the port, which your application wants to use, is occupied by another process. To release this port, you need to terminate the occupying process.
Since you are on Windows, you can terminate the process using the command prompt (cmd). With the cmd you can discover the process ID (PID) of the blocking application. You will need the PID in order to terminate / kill the process.
Here is a step-by-step guide...
Find all processes which are running on a specified port (in this example, Port is "3000"):
netstat -ano | find ":3000 "
The netstat command will list up all processes running on the specified port. In the last column of the netstat results you can see the PIDs (in this example, PID is "8308"). You can find out more about a specific PID by running the following command:
tasklist /fi "pid eq 8308"
If you want to terminate a process, you can do that with the following command by using its PID (in this example, PID is "8308"):
taskkill /pid 8308 /f
Screenshot
When you get an error Error: listen EADDRINUSE,
Try running the following shell commands:
netstat -a -o | grep 8080
taskkill /F /PID 6204
I greped for 8080, because I know my server is running on port 8080. (static tells me when I start it: 'serving "." at http://127.0.0.1:8080'.) You might have to search for a different port.
suppose your server is running on port 3000
lsof -i tcp:3000
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 11716 arun 11u IPv6 159175 0t0 TCP *:3000 (LISTEN)
after that use kill -9 <pid>
in the above case sudo kill -9 11716
use below command to kill a process running at a certain port - 3000 in this example below
kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:3000)
One possible solution that worked for me was simply to close the window in browser where I had the corresponding "http://localhost:3000/" script running.
When you get an error
Error: listen EADDRINUSE
Open command prompt and type the following instructions:
netstat -a -o | grep 8080
taskkill /F /PID** <*ur Process ID no*>
after that restart phone gap interface.
If you want to know which process ID phonegap is using, open TASK MANAGER and look at the Column heading PID and find the PID no.
Check the Process ID
sudo lsof -i:8081
Than kill the particular Process
sudo kill -9 2925
The aforementioned killall -9 node, suggested by Patrick works as expected and solves the problem but you may want to read the edit part of this very answer about why kill -9 may not be the best way to do it.
On top of that you might want to target a single process rather than blindly killing all active processes.
In that case, first get the process ID (PID) of the process running on that port (say 8888):
lsof -i tcp:8888
This will return something like:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 57385 You 11u IPv6 0xac745b2749fd2be3 0t0 TCP *:ddi-tcp-1
(LISTEN)
Then just do (ps - actually do not. Please keep reading below):
kill -9 57385
This works on Mac:
Step 1.
sudo lsof -i tcp:3000 (or whatever port you want to kill)
Above command will give you the Process Id(s) currently holding the port.
Step 2.
Kill -9 <pid>
you can change your port in app.js or in ur project configuration file.
default('port', 80)
and to see if port 80 is already in use you can do
netstat -antp |grep 80
netstat -antp |grep node
you might wanna see if node process is already running or not.
ps -ef |grep node
and if you find its already running, you can kill it using
killall node
I created 2 servers, listening on same port 8081, running from same code, while learning
1st server creation shud have worked
2nd server creation failed with EADDRINUSE
node.js callback delays might be reason behind neither worked, or 2nd server creation had exception, and program exited, so 1st server is also closed
2 server issue hint, I got from:
How to fix Error: listen EADDRINUSE while using nodejs?
Error: listen EADDRINUSE to solve it in Ubuntu run in terminal netstat -nptl and after this kill -9 {process-number} this command is to kill node process and now you can try to run again node server.js command

I have node red installed on my Mac and my Raspberry Pi. Had the exact same problem and doing 'killall' didn't help. Once I shut down the Raspberry Pi and restarted my computer it worked fine.
It may be possible that you have tried to run the npm start command in two different tabs .you cant run npm start when it is already running in some tab.check it once .
To anyone who has tried all of the above, but still can't find the rouge process, try them all again but make sure you include "sudo" in front of the commands.
If you like UI more, find the process Node.js in windows task manager and kill it.
ps -ef |grep node
find app.js ,
kill pid of app.js
simply kill the node
as
pkill -9 node
in terminal of ubantu
than start node
You will need to kill the port by trying to use the following command on the terminal
$ sudo killall -9 nodejs
I have solved this issue by adding below in my package.json for killing active PORT - 4000 (in my case) Running on WSL2/Linux/Mac
"scripts": {
"dev": "nodemon app.js",
"predev":"fuser -k 4000/tcp && echo 'Terminated' || echo 'Nothing was running on the PORT'",
}
Source
I Just delete that (cmd) Terminal and open another terminal and run again
node myfile.js
it works awesomely for me.
It's might be too late but it's working like a charm.
You need pm2 to be installed
npm install -g pm2
To stoping the current running server (server.js):
pm2 stop -f server.js
It's year 2022 now and I am on Monterey (Mac user).
lsof -i tcp:3000
Kill -9 <PID shown in your list>
To kill node server first run this command in your terminal :
top
open another window then copy the server id from the previous window: PID number -9 kill
so now you killed your node server try again to run your app.
I used the command netstat -ano | grep "portnumber" in order to list out the port number/PID for that process.
Then, you can use taskkill -f //pid 111111 to kill the process, last value being the pid you find from the first command.
One problem I run into at times is node respawning even after killing the process, so I have to use the good old task manager to manually kill the node process.
In window, please execute this command:
taskkill /F /PID 1952
