Hi

my Node-Red is caught in an endless-loop. The syslog file is flooded with the messages below.  
Is there an easy way to identify "function:5bb23ebd.29c638"?

I'm aware of the --safe parameter, but as I have over 20 flows with a lot of nodes, it isn't easy to pinpoint the node.

Thanks

Kind Regards,  
Sven

Start node-red in safe mode if necessary. (Use CMD line parameter `--safe`)

Have you tried searching `5bb23ebd.29c638` use CTRL+F in the node red editor.

Or search for it in the flows file if you can't start Node-RED.

That was too easy. 😉

Thank you very much.
