PIs stop sending beacon data in 118.338

Hate to be a pest, but need to know where to look for this problem; last Saturday in anticipation of the time change, I updated Indigo from 7.4 to 7.4.1 and noticed that several plugins including PIBeacon were out of date, so I updated everything to latest without looking at prior versions. Sunday morning, I noticed that although I could ping them, all 5 Pis had stopped sending information to Indigo just after 1 am and would not resume doing so even after I sent force reboot commands... However a "Send all files and REBOOT" command from the server did work... Initially I assumed it was some kind of glitch in the Daylight Savings time switchover... but the problem has repeated itself every morning since. I haven't had time to even loook into the issue until today other than simply repeating the send all and reboot every morning, but now that I am able to do so, can you tell me where to find the Pi logs and what to look for when I do?

do you have an RPI3?
you can check w " tail - 500 /var/log/syslog" if you see a lot of bluetooth errors:
then you need to move the iBeacon bluetooth to an external dongle and use the internal for BLEconnect w command line option
in RPI device edit:
