How to stop LLDP discovery of failed - Check name lookup

Help
#1

Hi,

I have a lot event message “LLDP discovery of xxx failed - Check name lookup”

Can i keep autodiscovery enabled, find the new device but after find the device using LLDP/CDP (xdp) , then don’t check it against DNS/ name lookup.

This is our information

“LLDP discovery of cat03.access.psn.apjii.MMR-O failed - Check name lookup”

You can have a look at the documentation which explains it :

https://docs.librenms.org/Extensions/Auto-Discovery/

Most importantly, the part to allow discovery by IP and not only by DNS.

You’ll still have a few errors because auto-discovery, by definition, will run again and again each night unless you disable it. So each night it will retry all xDP neighbours and probably fail again on the same ones.

Hi PipoCanaja,

i think i work now.
i add on config.phjp

$config[‘discovery_by_ip’] = true;

thank’s for your help.

i changed
$config[‘discovery_by_ip’] = true;
and
$config[‘discovery_by_ip’] = false;

after changing should i restart the server?

the notification "LLDP discovery of xxxxx failed - Check name lookup"still show up filling the event dashboard.

thx

Hello
There is nothing to restart. And the notifications will remain as long as you keep LLDP autodiscovery enabled and you have devices that cannot be discovered. This is completely normal.

Please let us know what you want to do.
