Dynamic groups issue with 1k devices

[Remy_Landraud]

Hi everyone,

I’ve found a strange issue on our LibreNMS infrastructure.

We have a heavy use of dynamics groups, especially for managing rights for ours end users.

We are using “Device access via Device Group” and we have a dynamic group for each team which is filtering devices based on their locations.

When the dynamic group is reaching 1k devices, the users using this group for rights find themselves with a blank dashboard, all widgets are displayed but with 0 devices and 0 alerts.

This line is logged in librenms.log when someone in this group is trying to refresh the dashboard page:

production.ERROR: Trying to get property ‘name’ of non-object {“userId”:21,“exception”:"[object] (ErrorException(code: 0): Trying to get property ‘name’ of non-object at /opt/librenms/app/Http/Controllers/Widgets/WidgetController.php:78)"}

Thanks for your help !

Hi all,

I’m still investigating the issue.

It’s not related to dynamics groups, when I’m creating a static group with exactly 1000 devices everything stops working.
When the number of devices is lowered to 999 everything works fine.

So, I think it’s directly related to “Device access via Device Group”.

I though about the “max_input_vars” who is set by default to 1000 in the php.ini file but changing this value is ineffective.

I’m looking for errors in differents files like librenms.log, php-fpm7.4.log, mysql.log errors without any clue…

If you have any idea… Thanks for your help !
