TL;DR I can change all settings except for the “Disable polling” and “Ignore alert tag” settings. Visually they update in the UI, but no network activity occurs from the browser to actually make the change on the server.
Not sure if I’m doing something wrong, or what, but I want to disable polling and/or alerting of unused ports on some devices (edit device > port settings > Disable polling or Ignore alert tag). Toggling either doesn’t work. Toggling repeatedly doesn’t work (despite the notice at top of the page). Watching network requests nothing is sent back to LibreNMS from the UI to actually make a change.
There’s a weird “n.b For the first time, please click any button twice.” message with no reason given for why this should be at the top. I even went and looked in Git and didn’t find any discussion for why that would be intended behavior (since it seems like a work around for something that didn’t work and never got fixed, but … doing as it says has no effect). This is likely unrelated, but it adds an additional layer of confusion.
I can change the ifSpeed setting and have it save (I needed to do this for some GRE links on my Mikrotik routers to avoid erroneous alerts for being over capacity, though this is probably the router’s fault, not librenms, reporting 10Mbit instead of 100Mbit). The RRD Tune toggle works too, and the Description field.
It’s just the polling and alerting toggles that won’t actually toggle, despite changing in the UI (nothing is posted to the server to save it, and going reloading the page or opening in another tab shows no change)
