Auto Discover CDP/LLDP - ' ' is not valid hostname

Help

Hello!
I am having issues with CDP and LLDP Discovery with a Cisco Catalyst 6506. I am running LibreNMS on the latest docker container version. Not sure how to reproduce the issue, though I have tried removing the device and re-adding it. This is happening to multiple devices on my network though.

Here is my output of ./validate.php

My paste of ./discovery.php -h 185 -m discovery-protocols -d is below.

Please let me know if you have any ideas to fix this issue!

Hi

The doc is describing this :
https://docs.librenms.org/Extensions/Auto-Discovery/

Discovering devices by IP

By default we don’t add devices by IP address, we look for a reverse dns name to be found and add with that. If this fails and you would like to still add devices automatically then you will need to set $config['discovery_by_ip'] = true;

Bye

Thanks, though our problem still exists. I am trying to get the neighbors tab of that device to show the network devices attached to it. I tried adding that config option but it still will not show the neighbors tab.

Then please provide again the discovery-protocols logs, if something is wrong, you’ll see it there.

I think I figured it out. For some reason the docker image was having an issue discovering the neighbors of the device but as soon as I swapped off of docker to a normal install it had no issues.
