Whenever i run command below i get error below, also netbox.port should be 80 netbox.disable_tls has to be true etc, what is wrong and how do i get it to read the ports etc, it does read the hst fqdn

Hi @devsjay,

you need to enable the setting and remove the leading ; from the config line you want to change. I f you want to set port 80 you need to define it like this:

; Requires an NetBox API token with full permissions on all objects except 'auth',
; 'secrets' and 'users'
api_token = *****

; Requires a hostname or IP which points to your NetBox instance
host_fqdn = ******

; Define the port your NetBox instance is listening on. If 'disable_tls' is set to "true"
; this option might be set to 80
port = 80

; Whether TLS encryption is enabled or disabled
;disable_tls = True

; Enforces TLS certificate validation. If this system doesn't trust the NetBox web server
; certificate then this option needs to be changed
;validate_tls_certs = False

; Defines a proxy which will be used to connect to NetBox. Proxy setting needs to include
; the schema. Proxy basic auth example: http://user:pass@10.10.1.10:312/
;proxy = http://example.com:3128/

any setting with a leading ; will be ignored.

oh my, that is silly, thank you. quick question tho, now that ive done this im getting, i dont see this in the settings file. 2024-02-14 15:18:25,048 - DEBUG: https://netbox.****.nl:443 "GET /api/ HTTP/1.1" 200 585 2024-02-14 15:18:25,048 - INFO: Successfully connected to NetBox 'netbox.**.' 2024-02-14 15:18:25,048 - DEBUG: Detected NetBox API version: None ERROR: Unable to determine NetBox version, HTTP header 'API-Version' missing.

[bb-Ricardo]

Are you using a proxy?

somehow the HTTP header 'API-Version' is missing from the response. You can run it with -l DEBUG3 and see how the HTTP response looks like.

Here is what i recieve. **** out the correct domain

and no, they are on the same network,

[bb-Ricardo]

Hi,

you should change your NetBox API token '4cace4f852325fc26b6f5ac2da984e0e1722853c' NOW!

Even though you query port 80, your request gets redirected to header: Location: https://netbox.****.nl/api/. And the response header is missing the API-Version header.

You need to fix your HTTP Server / Proxy setup and then the Sync should work.

[devsjay]

thanks, and i will try this. also saw this about the api, but the network is completly internal and unreachable and ip whitelisting was enabled(i tried before without but this did not cause the issu), did revoke this already when i saw it

[devsjay]

so im thinking its a problem with the nginx server wich netbox is ran on, i was able to change its behaviour but then i got this:

2024-02-14 18:17:09,054 - DEBUG: Starting new HTTP connection (1): netbox.stepco.nl:80 ERROR: NetBox connection: HTTPConnectionPool(host='netbox.stepco.nl', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/ (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f52833c8c70>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused'))

all i did btw is not have redirect on on nginx

[bb-Ricardo]

Still an issue on your side, sorry.

[bb-Ricardo]

Closing due to no response.
