Autodelete generic device (if empty)

Hi,
How can I automaticly delete generic device type if it’s empty : (No results found!)


Thank you in advance

That usually happens when a device is being discovered and will disappear after it’s done.

it’s not done for me apparently. Generic stay active without device

check if this purges it

$config['device_perf_purge']                              = 7;

the number is the total days if no activity it deletes the device

ok thank you
I need to wait 7 days ?

you can bring it down to 1 day but I think you will risk purging all devices that is inactive for one day

inactive, what do you mean ? down/up ?

so if the device has not been updated for 7 days it gets purged. (its like opening a word document changing something and then saving it it then shows date modified) soo if it the device has not been modified for 7 days it auto deletes

ah… I can’t do that, because sometime we need to replace a device and there is a delay

auto run the Discovery and check if it resolves the issue

/opt/librenms/discovery-wrapper.py
/opt/librenms/discovery.php
/opt/librenms/poller-wrapper.py

generic stay active without device after that.

so inside here

vi /opt/librenms/includes/definitions.inc.php

is the Device Types

I deleted a group name but no success

is your cron job running correctly

[FIX]:
Make sure your daily.sh cron is running and run ./daily.sh by hand to see if there are any errors.

Run These commands and give the results

cd /opt/librenms/

./daily.sh

I can’t give the result because I forgot to take a photo (it’s a remote server) if it’s connected to internet I’m losing access (usually it is local) and it need internet for cron job

anyway I did > ./daily.sh
and generic has disappeared, thank you

cool bro check that your daily Cron jobs are correctly configured.

cp librenms.nonroot.cron /etc/cron.d/librenms
