gluon-collector parser errors

[tantive]

gluon-collector gives me many parser errors as shown below. any ideas or suggestions?

Root cause for the non parsable "function: ...":"true" entries: https://github.com/freifunkMUC/ffmap-backend/issues/7

Any idea how to ignore them during parsing until the fix propagates to all nodes? It seems that the struct in neighbours.go needs to be extended. I tried this but as I am not a go expert I have no idea how to match a property with an a priori unknown name such as "function: *" ...

I will see what encoding/json can do here.

Consider this a low priority, the fix mentioned in my last comment was already rolled out in my community. So only a few nodes that still run on the old affected gluon version don't show up.

[dereulenspiegel]

Since this error only affects the statistics of single nodes (and doesn't crash the whole application), the bug is actually on the client side and there is no easy fix for this on the server side, I am closing this issue.
