Hi People,
after upgrade to 24.7 the CARP Status Widget fails to load.
thanks a lot

Did you update to only 24.7 or all the way to 24.7.3_1? There were quite a few adjustments and fixes to the dashboard and widgets between the two versions.

[opns_neuling]

Hi !
I started  from 24.1.10_8 to 24.7 and so on to current version ...

Just check brower's dev console on the matter. Also "current version" is plain ambiguous.


Cheers,
Franco

Hi!,
sorry, now corrected.

I updated step by step from 24.1.10_8 to 24.7.3_1.

browser console:

A CARP VIP got deleted here while an IP alias was still present with the same VHID group, this should be a validation.

I'll add a patch that bails if no primary CARP is found, but your leftover IP alias should have its VHID group stripped as well.

[opns_neuling]

Wooow!
you are right ! :-)
removed orphan IP Alias and voila, it's works!
Thanks a lot!

The widget will receive a fix for 24.7.4 to avoid crashing in such cases.

We will likely also add validation to the VIP section, but need to test this more first.


Cheers,
Franco
