Change log for deleted/create cables doesn't show termination points.

[DenHayes]

We had a user accidentially delete a cable in Netbox and we are attempting to rebuild it. Unfortunately, the change log entry for the delete action doesn't capture the termination information for the cable.

The create change log entry doesn't show the information either and the object is deleted, so there's no hyperlink to see the info.

Is there a way to see the termination end points for this cable, so we can manually re-create it?

The changelog should capture all related changes for a given request, including changes to interfaces/terminations. These should be near this change in the full changelog view. You could also copy and paste the Request ID from the single change view into a URL like this:

http://your.netbox.server/extras/changelog/?request_id=94b4...etc

This will show all the related changes, and you should be able to gather enough info to recreate it.

Unfortunatly, I'm not seeing any termination info when I look at either the create or delete detailed change log.

Maybe a bug? I'm running version 3.3.4.

This may seem like a simple thing, but you need to click on the change log entry to view the details (before/after diffs and such). — Mark Tinberg ***@***.***> Division of Information Technology-Network Services University of Wisconsin-Madison

I've clicked on the ID and can see the pre and post data, but this data only contains the characteristics of the cable; see my first post on what I see.

I've also clicked on the Request ID and don't see what I'm looking for either.

Sorry for my poor following along, I didn't refer to your original screenshot. In my Netbox 3.2.9 instance I see the termination points on deleted cables, which are missing in your original report.

We upgraded our lab to the latest, v3.3.6, and we're still not seeing the termination information when deleting a cable. I believe this to be a bug, since you're seeing it in your version; I'll open a issue.

That tickled a memory https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/releases/tag/v3.3.0 The cable model was changed for 3.3.x (which is why I stayed on 3.2.9 until I get around to updating my API clients, I'd just backburnered the work and forgot the details), is it possible that the changelog you seek is filed under dcim.cable-terminations and not dcim.cable I tried in the demo environment to add an interface to termination b https://demo.netbox.dev/dcim/cables/1/ and looked for a changelog entry for dcim.cable-terminations but didn't see one https://demo.netbox.dev/extras/changelog/?changed_object_type_id=59 The only object change is for dcim.cable and doesn't include the termination data https://demo.netbox.dev/extras/changelog/212/ — Mark Tinberg ***@***.***> Division of Information Technology-Network Services University of Wisconsin-Madison

I'm still not seeing anything I can use to reconstruct a cable connection. On the odd occasion I'll see a seperate change log entries for interface changes updating their status, but it's not consistant and can't rely on them.

I would hope the change log would capture the termination info too.
