WARNING: Unable to determine second key 'cluster' for virtual machine '(hidden)', got: None

[felix-sterzelmaier-concat]

Hello, for new VMs in vSphere i get these warnings when running your script: WARNING: Unable to determine second key 'cluster' for virtual machine '(hidden)', got: None

In vSphere these VMs have a valid value for Cluster. The Clustername is also present in Netbox, but the script does not link the VMs to the cluster. Am i missing something? Is it normal that the relation hast to be added manually? Or is my configuration wrong? Unfortunately there is no documentation telling me which fields are set by the script.

Thank you!

Hi, Could you run the script in -l DEBUG2 mode and post the output for one example VM. Then we hopefully get an idea of what is going on.

Hello, here is the Log with DEBUG2 enabled. I truncated it and marked these lines with "[...]". Also i replaced all sensitive information.

This was happening to me, but only when the cluster being imported didn't exist in Netbox.
