Unintended Filters set

[lono0778]

Hello,
the plugins is successfully installed but does not show any connections.

I noticed some filters which i cannot disable (reset does not help).

They were already there after installation and maybe this is the cause why the the plugin does not show anything.

Do you have any suggestions how to get rid of this issue?

Obviously, NetBox counts undefined options. If you set some options to "No", the number of filters will decrement. This behavior seems to be related to a special case in our plugin. NetBox uses the filter pane usually for filtering a model. We misuse the filter pane for some things that are related to display options and for filters NetBox does not provide.

On the other hand, filters like "Has console ports", which belong to the model, doesn't generate such issues.

I don't know if there is anything we can do about it.

I just found out that the "initial" parameter in forms.py causes this issue. Feel free to create a bug report and we will see if we can safely reduce that parameters.

This is normal behavior. You need at least to check "Show cables" or "Show logical connections". You can also set "Draw Default Layout" in the Individual Options if you want to show the topology immediately without filters. But beware: No filters mean that the whole network will be displayed.

Hi dreng,

thanks for helping out on this issue.
I followed all of your suggestions wit a satisfying result, except the filter thing but that doesn't bother me, as long as the plugin works as expected.

Thank you!
