Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen :

As soon as I want to register a physical machine (Dell PowerEdge R620), I get the message below.

Configuration file Paste here your netbox agent configuration file :

netbox:

 token: xxxxx
device:
 server_role: "Server"

# Enable datacenter location feature in Netbox
datacenter_location:
 driver: "cmd:cat /etc/qualification | tr [A-Z] [a-z]"
 regex: "datacenter: \"(?P<datacenter>[A-Za-z0-9]+)\""

tenant:
 driver: "cmd:cat /etc/qualification | tr [A-Z] [a-z]"
 regex: "tenant: \"(?P<tenant>[A-Za-z0-9]+)\""

# Network configuration
network:
 # Regex to ignore interfaces
 ignore_interfaces: (lo.*|dummy.*|docker.*)
 # Regex to ignore IP addresses
 ignore_ips: (127\.0\.0\..*)
 # enable auto-cabling by parsing LLDP answers
 lldp: True

@juhnny5 Hello I can confirm that you need to replace device_role with role. I'll look into this in the next few weeks.
