sysLocation gets rewritten
Hello,
I am experiencing something I don't understand. During polling of a host the syslocation -which is returned correctly by snmp- gets changed into another location (which is an old location before moving from "Address B" to "Address A").
$ /usr/bin/snmpget -v3 -l 'authPriv' -n '' -x 'AES' -X 'passwd' -a 'SHA' -A 'passwd' -u 'username' -Pud -Ih -OQUs --hexOutputLength=0 -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'HostName':'161' sysUpTime.0 sysLocation.0 sysUpTime.0 = 0:8:31:49.72 sysLocation.0 = "Address A" This is the correct address returned.
A few lines lower in my debugging output I see: sysLocation rewritten from 'Address A' to 'Address B' by DB override.
Even if I change the address in mysql to the correct address the polling process keeps changing it to the old address. MariaDB [observium]> select hostname, location from devices where device_id=9811; +-------------------------+--------------+ | hostname | location | +-------------------------+--------------+ | HostName | Address B | +-------------------------+--------------+
My questions: - Why is this happening? - How can I prevent this from happening? - Where does the old address come from?
I hope someone can shed some light on this strange issue...
Thanks,
Martin
It means you most likely have rewrites defined in the config:

Wouldn’t enabling “Custom location” under the device itself also give this behavior?

Hi Adam,
Thanks, but no, none of the General options in the Locations section are selected. It looks exactly like the picture you posted. Any other idea's?
Thanks,
Martin
