That's awesome Niklas!I think this might fix a lot of annoying sensor updated-spam for stuff that returns NULL. I will try this patch and see if it solves similar issues for me too./MarkusDen lör 29 dec. 2018 kl 19:20 skrev Niklas Larsson via observium <observium@observium.org>:_______________________________________________Hi,
got some time (and finally fed up with the eventlog getting spammed) and dig into this issue. Problem is that the database has sensor_mib/sensor_object set to empty string and we get NULL from the device. When we then compare the two with float_cmp() it returns -1 and we update the db.
The fix is either to set the fields in db to null or use this patch:

if ($a === $b)
{
$compare = 0; // Variables same
+ }else if(empty($a) && empty($b) && strlen($a) == strlen($b)){
+ $compare = 0; // Both are empty and same length - could be NULL compared to empty string
}
}
if ($compare === FALSE)What the root couse is (why the db has empty string) I have no idea. I have removed and added the device and it still did the same thing. The other equallogic devices have NULL instead of empty string.

Hi,
replaced a Dell EqualLogic member and since then I get logs of sensor updates every time discovery is running.
I can not see any changes though, snipped from attached output:
