Meshcentral: 0.4.5-w : no devices shown in My Devices

[baikal]

Did upgrade to 0.4.5-w (from 0.4.5-q). All Devices are gone.

When running with --debug, i do see

AGENT: Verified agent connection to ############## (IP:PORT)

so the agents seem to connect.

I just upgraded to w (from v) and don't have this issue. Any errors in the server or browser consoles?

[baikal]

no errors on server console, no devices using chrome, firefox or ms edge. no errors in chrome F12

[baikal]

back to 0.4.5-q (removed node_modules and npm install [email protected]). Devices still missing, nodes are listed in meshcentral.db ... oh well

I suspect that a device must have a name or some information that can't be parsed or is not handled right. Open the browser console, add "?trace=1" to the URL and start the page again. You will see all the messages being sent to the web application. Look for "RECV Object { action: "nodes", nodes: {…} }".

Open that object and copy the entire content here, or mail me privately if you like. I will test with the same input and see what is going on.

How long did you wait after upgrading the server? There are times when I upgrade my server it may take 5-15 minutes for the devices to reconnect.
Edit: after looking at the image you posted it looks like something other than what I mention is going on. In my case the devices are all there they just aren't connected for a few minutes or so after the upgrade.

[Ylianst]

Right, I don't think it's a problem of devices not connecting, you can't even see the device group name on the web page so it's not rendering the HTML correctly. If I get the raw node objects, I should be able to fix it.

Thanks @Ylianst & @PathfinderNetworks.
In fact, the error is somewhere between the keyboard and the chair - turns out that for whatever reason after the upgrade, the [Sort] was on "Tags" ... which does not show anything. Back to "Groups" and everything is fine. 🤦

Sorry for the fuzz

[Ylianst]

Oh!! Thanks for reporting back. It's still a usability problem since your probably not the only one that ran or will run into this problem. I will add a message to say that no devices where found that match the sort/filter on the page to help with this.

[Ylianst]

Just published MeshCentral v0.4.5-y with a fix for this. Let me know if it's ok.

Updated to 0.4.5-z - and yes, this hint shows up.
Thanks.
