Device Import - Row 1 rack: Object not found

[dennisscg]

NetBox version
v3.3.0

Python version
3.8

Expected Behavior
a new device will be created and is assigned to the correct rack

having issues using https://netbox/dcim/devices/import/
although it works with adding the same thing with api.

serial,device_role,manufacturer,device_type,status,site,rack,position,face,cf_CPU_Model,cf_CPUs,cf_Cores,cf_Memory
000000000,server-role,HP,ProLiant DL380 Gen10,active,7,203,27,front,Xeon Silver 4214R 2.4GHz,2,24,0

rack and location exists in netbox.

I think it's saying it can't find a rack "203", at least, not in the site with name "7" (although it's not complaining about the site - unless you've truncated the screenshot). Are you sure you have a site and rack with those names?

[candlerb]

I've always used the site name and rack name.

Looking at source code it agrees:

class DeviceCSVForm(BaseDeviceCSVForm):
    site = CSVModelChoiceField(
        queryset=Site.objects.all(),
        to_field_name='name',
        help_text='Assigned site'
    )
...
    rack = CSVModelChoiceField(
        queryset=Rack.objects.all(),
        to_field_name='name',
        required=False,
        help_text="Assigned rack (if any)"
    )

so that means what i am using is correct, so maybe its a bug ?

[candlerb]

Only other idea I have is about uniqueness: you don't have two racks with name "203", or two sites with name "7" ?

See if you can reproduce it on a clean install, giving the exact set of data to enter (sites and racks). If you can do this, and provide the steps, then it's a bug.

[dennisscg]

just checked again, site and rack are unique, no other rack matched that.

Running v3.2.1
And I have the same problem.

[dennisscg]

Just figured out the netbox import issue where it kept throwing that error about the rack. Location also needs to be defined. that was my problem.

[dennisscg]

serial,device_role,manufacturer,device_type,status,location,site,rack,position,face,cf_CPU_Model,cf_CPUs,cf_Cores,cf_Memory

[dennisscg]

to: DEVELOPERS, maybe you can adjust the error msg so it will explain that location is missing instead of rack not found.

Thank you.

Please don't just post an error message with no context. If you don't describe what you're doing which causes the error, we have no idea what might be the cause.

And unless you can demonstrate with certainty that this is related to the original problem in this thread (i.e. you are importing Devices via CSV), then it would be better start a new thread.
