unms_exporter not working

[SaymonDzen]

Please Help!
For some reason, the script cannot connect to my UNMS host
/opt/unms_exporter# UNMS_HOST=10.77.1.231 UNMS_KEY=ca2c9f48-2466-4a6c-b312-2d1d0abe2bb3 python3 unms_exporter.py
10.77.0.220 - - [12/Aug/2021 15:51:15] code 400, message Bad Request
10.77.0.220 - - [12/Aug/2021 15:51:15] "GET /metrics?target=10.77.1.231 HTTP/1.1" 400 -

no firewall, exporter and unms ping each other

Usually i see this error when it could not match the IP address (10.77.1.231) in UNMS.

If you hit http://127.0.0.1:8000/metrics?target=10.77.1.231 via curl or a browser you should see an error Provided target name/IP does not exist.

Usually we see this because the script can only match the IP address that is UNMS sees when the device reports back. (which i agree is annoying) and we used the wrong ip of a router.

In your case it may be an API issue.

curl -H "x-auth-token:ca2c9f48-2466-4a6c-b312-2d1d0abe2bb3" "https://10.77.1.231/nms/api/v2.1/devices"
see if

• you get a json output
• your last used increases

If you get a json, prase the output and take a look at "ipAddress"

PS: ou can try to use targetName instead of target which will match on identification/name

Just realized that your UNMS_HOST and your target= are the same

UNMS_HOST=10.77.1.231 That should be where your UNMS server is. Probably a hostname due to HTTPS
