Issue with config options 'overwrite_device/vm_interface_name' set to False on initial syncs

[martinyardley]

Hi,

I'm testing the Netbox sync script, importing to netbox from vSphere . All apart from synchronizing the IP address to the virtual machine works fine (the host IP addresses update successfully). IP addresses are synchronized to IPAM. A http 400 bad request error is logged.

I believe this has been logged before, however I have been unable to locate the solution.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi,

well, this is not meant to happen. Would it be possible to provide a full debug log?

Hi,

Thanks for your fast response! Yes I have a clean log file from this morning, I have edited some confidential information. Can I email it to you?

Thanks,

Martin

[bb-Ricardo]

Great, yes you can email it to me. If you call the script with --help you should se my mail address.

Hi,

Sorry, it's not displaying an email address...

[bb-Ricardo]

Well, indeed. Sorry for that.

This should be better:

netbox-sync/module/__init__.py

Line 12 in 20e3a3c

__author__ = "Ricardo Bartels <ricardo.bartels@telekom.de>"

Perfect, I've emailed you the log. Thanks again!

Hey @martinyardley,

would you be able to test this fix?

Best would be with a clean (not previously synced) NetBox database and the config option overwrite_vm_interface_name set to False.

Thank you

Hi Ricardo,

I can't find an updated version of the script? I won't be able to run it against a "clean" DB just yet, as others are developing scripts and working on this system. The production netbox DB has not yet been updated with the netbox sync script - So I'll be able to test fully once I have the go ahead

Cheers,

Martin

Hi,

You just need to check out the "development" branch and run the script with the changed option again.

I guess, deleting all interfaces from a previously synced VM should trigger the same conditions.

And look for ERROR messages after the sync.

Thank you.

Hi,

did you send a log message? I can't find any in your last post.

Maybe you should not use eMail to update on issues. Outlook is leaking your email address.

Cheers

Hi,
we have the same issue. I will test this in our environment.

EDIT:
Issue is gone. No more errors with this fix.

Best,
Sascha
