Yah,
you asked this in Jira, Discord and here...
But answer in your 2 year old version of Observium :)
Ammar Ahmad Khan via observium wrote on 30.06.2026 11:15: Hello, I'm using Observium 24.6.13582 (stable) and believe I've found an issue with the device update API. According to the API documentation, coordinates and location_manual can be updated using the "Changing a device" endpoint. However, while updates to other fields work correctly, these two fields do not. For example, this request works as expected:
curl -u user:password \ -X PUT http://observium/api/v0/devices/47/ \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"disabled":"1"}'
But these requests do not update the device and return HTTP 304 Not Modified:
curl -u user:password \ -X PUT http://observium/api/v0/devices/47/ \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"coordinates":"51.509865,-0.118092"}'
curl -u user:password \ -X PUT http://observium/api/v0/devices/47/ \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"location_manual":"1","coordinates":"51.509865,-0.118092"}'
I've verified that:
* Authentication is working. * The endpoint and HTTP method are correct. * Other fields (e.g. disabled) update successfully * Could you please confirm whether coordinates and location_manual are supported for updates in Observium 24.6.13582, or whether this is a bug or documentation issue?
Thank you.
