Can't bring Geocoding to work

Help
1

I’m testing a new LibreNMS installation since a couple of days which works pretty well.
But one point really drives me a bit crazy - I can not bring the Geocoding to work.
I tried different Mapping Engines and Location Strings - no success.
But i stumbled over a Error Massage in the Discovery Debug output:

Bing geocode engine

Error discovering os module for 192.168.0.2. Argument 2 passed to App\ApiClients\BingApi::checkResponse() must be of the type array, null given, called in /opt/librenms/app/ApiClients/GeocodingHelper.php on line 57

Somebody maybe has an idea where my mistake is or what possible is wrong here?

Also having trouble with this. Even using a Google API that has geocoding enabled. Next thing i am going to try is changing the server to install ssl. I suspect these requests might be blocked because its coming from an unsecure source.

Could you solve this?
I checked the communication between my LibreNMS Server and Bing / Openstreetmaps …
These communication took place but, in both cases without an LAT/Lon Result…

Will try Google Maps next .

Our server isn’t publicly accessible and ran into some errors while trying to assigned a self signed cert. Have not had time to continue with it yet but will give it a shot this afternoon (next 5 hours) or tomorrow.

I have been failing miserably in my endeavors. I think during the install process I may have removed all the repo lists or possibly it was a step in libreNMS setup. I have tried methods of restoring them to be able to install a ssl but every time i break the server and have to roll back. So at this time i have had zero luck on getting the geocoding to work.

Mine has seemed to stop geocoding, which is strange. I’m getting the error of

{"response":{"error_message":"Invalid request. Missing the 'address', 'components', 'latlng' or 'place_id' parameter.","results":[],"status":"INVALID_REQUEST"}}

I’m trying to see where the error points to as I use the standard address formatting of 1000 Parkway Dr, Santa Clara, CA 95050. I’ll post back if I get anywhere.

same here

Load disco module os

Geocoding failed. {“response”:{“error_message”:“Invalid request. Missing the ‘address’, ‘components’, ‘latlng’ or ‘place_id’ parameter.”,“results”:,“status”:“INVALID_REQUEST”}}

by command line it looks ok

I’m not sure if it stopped working after the last Librenms update
