Help disable some features.

[MrgampRus]

Hello, tell me, is it possible to disable adding tag (source:), and adding Role (server).

[bb-Ricardo]

Hi,

It is not possible to disable the source tag but you can definitely add roles to your server/VMs, just have a look at the example config file.

[MrgampRus]

Can I disable role addition? because in our netbox, different roles are used for different virtual machines, this can be an application server or a database server, and therefore we set the role manually after the script runs, but the next time the script is launched, it changes the role to the standard one (server).

[bb-Ricardo]

Hey,

Try setting the option to a non existing match.

vm_role_relation = NOMATCH = Server

[MrgampRus]

Thanks for the quick response, but it doesn't work.

[bb-Ricardo]

Can you run it in DEBUG2 log mode and post the output here?

[MrgampRus]

Unfortunately I can't show the whole file. Perhaps what I chose from the log file will help.

[bb-Ricardo]

indeed, this is a bug. I opened an issue #299. Can you check out the development branch and see if this fixes your issue?

you can also disable the config option in the settings file again.

[MrgampRus]

Hello, I changed the connections.py file as described here: 5677846
After running the script I get:

[bb-Ricardo]

please don't change the file manually. just do a:

git checkout development
git pull

[MrgampRus]

Everything is working now, thanks a lot. The role of the virtual machine does not change automatically.
