Netonix Manager not showing proper switch names

[marcbou]

Hi,

We have a bunch of Netonix switches managed by Netonix Manager running under Linux.

It seems to work fine but switches whose names start with "ws6mini-site" appear in the Manager as "wsini-site". The "6m" is left out from the initial portion of the name, any idea why ? Could this be fixed please?

Thanks,

Marc

Can you post a screenshot?

Here's the requested screenshot

I can confirm this is happening when I try to replicate the scenario. Keep an eye out for an update to the NM

I was disappointed to see that this bug still wasn't fixed in the 1.0.11 NM release that you guys made a few days ago.

I investigated the problem more deeply and finally found the cause.

It is node_modules/ssh2shell's textColorFilter "feature" which seems to be broken (regexp bug?) and filter out valid data passed to netonix-manager/models/Device.js. This could also interfere with other aspects of NM operation and have important negative side-effects.

The patch below (relative to NM 1.0.11) corrects the issue by disabling the textColorFilter.

Looks like a problem with one of the libraries. This is a different issue than the one reported above. Thank you for letting us know I'm investigating now.

[marcbou]

it is the same issue as the patch seems to avoid the problem.

It will be on the next release.
