  • 1.  BOXI report missing devices

    Posted Feb 15, 2018 01:47 PM

    Hi all, I have a strange case I'm trying to understand but failing at it:

     

    I'm creating a BOXI report and one of the elements of it is the number of devices in a given Global Collection.

    When I run the report, the number of devices returned is lower than the actual number of devices in the global collection in OneClick.

    I tried replacing the global collection for a filter depending on "Device name" (This specific set of devices all start with the same 4 characters), and I still get a lower number (In this case, 9 devices less).

    The thing is, if I run the same query directly from MySQL client against the model table of the reporting database, I get the correct number of devices (all with null destroy_time), so the data is correctly stored in the database and all devices are "active".

    Any ideas on what could cause such behaviour?

    I would open a ticket with support to get it investigated.

    Yes, looks strange issue - is the status updated (OneClick homepage -> Report Manager -> Spectrum Status), have you tried to recycle tomcat service to see if it helps?

    well, he just stated that if he queries the mysql reporting db, he's able to see the devices there.

    I know where the problem is, though not why it's happening:

    The devices are not being populated in the view from srmdbapi that BOXI queries.

    If I query the v_dim_device_model view, I don't get those devices. However, they do show in v_dim_model. There's no difference between models, still strange.

    Continuing troubleshooting....
