Netonix Forums

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.

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

It will be on the next release.
