Oxidized is in a loop with a device?

Open MLyszyk opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hey all,

I believe something weird is going on with this device(s) that Oxidized is pulling. We are getting numerous emails of config changes for a device that seems to be in a loop. For instance, one email for the switch will say this -->

interface eth-0-7
  flowcontrol receive on
- switchport access vlan 3438
+ switchport access vlan 2094
 !
 interface eth-0-8
  flowcontrol receive on
- switchport access vlan 2482
+ switchport access vlan 2095

Then, the next email will say this -->

interface eth-0-7
  flowcontrol receive on
- switchport access vlan 2094
+ switchport access vlan 3438
 !
 interface eth-0-8
  flowcontrol receive on
- switchport access vlan 2095
+ switchport access vlan 2482

Then, after those 2 being sent, it'll send another email that says this -->

interface eth-0-7
  flowcontrol receive on
- switchport access vlan 3438
+ switchport access vlan 2094
 !
 interface eth-0-8
  flowcontrol receive on
- switchport access vlan 2482
+ switchport access vlan 2095

And then it just keeps on going, and it's not just that interface it does this with but the overall switch config. Is there a database that Oxidized is using to hold the pulled configurations of a device that gets used for comparison against newly pulled configs for that device? Maybe if I remove the existing file, the next time it'll pull will be that device's "first time"? But I assume that means I'll lose all configuration iterations that have occurred which can be seen on our Oxidized-Web.

Any ideas or tips?

Thanks!

Please give more context:

  • which version of oxidized are you running?
  • give your oxidized configuration (with everything you don't want to share like passwords remove/modified)
  • which model are you using?

It seems like a configuration flapping to me, oxidized just informs you that the configuration changed. Check on the device that the configuration did not change.
