it appears to have fixed itself, i tried again on a whim today and im no longer having issues with the locations plugin. sooo problem solved i guess.

@jherron Great to hear you figured it out. Well done!

I was going to setup a test scenario to see if I can replicate the issue. But would have been very hard to figure out not knowing that you use the location plugin.

@Sebastian-Roth on the fog server itself. it is not relevant to the error previosly posted sorry. i saw it when i logged into my vm server.

@jherron The information is split in two different tables. Host information and MAC information. So you need to commands to clean that host’s information from the database:

mysql> DELETE FROM hostMAC WHERE hmHostID = 1272; ... mysql> DELETE FROM hosts WHERE hostID = 1272; ...

But I still wonder why we only see one entry while FOG seems to find duplicates. Would you be keen enough to add some more error output to the PHP code so we see which MAC it sees as duplicated? If yes, I should be able to help you with the code. Let me know.

Thanks for all the help! things seem to be back in order!

that worked amazingly thank you very much!

That helped! that and after talking to my boss and he telling me that he was trying out a new web filter on the subnet i had the server in… thanks a lot!

while i was digging in my log files looking for the error you suggested i found that one of my nodes was down. on a hunch that that was causing some issues. i went and turned it back on and things seem to be back to normal. replication seems to be back online. i must have had something trying to replicate to the offline node and was holding it up. but that you so much for the response!

now im just stuck with the red ! saying no such device or address for all my hosts. any ideas?tasks perform normally so it doesnt appear to be a big deal, but id like to fix it if possible.

@Wayne-Workman @george1421 thank you both so much. you’ve been incredibly helpful!
