Good morning,

In many reporting queries, if a field is empty for certain machines, the export to the spreadsheet produces a non-compliant CSV file. This means that instead of providing a CSV file with empty fields where they exist, the file deletes these fields and shifts all the columns to the left. As a result, the results cannot be used correctly.

example csv text format.
Export Result:

Code: Select all

Are you aware of this "bug"?

Hi Vincent,

This was patched in the penultimate version [1]

: "[FIX] waptconsole: fix export to CSV / XLS of NULL or empty cells"

Denis

Thanks for the reply.
I tried an upgrade.
OS: Debian 12 - old version: 2.5.4.15342 - new version: 2.5.5.15697.

When I run postconf.sh, here's the error message:

Unsupported on Windows. Run winsetup.py instead.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/wapt/waptserver/scripts/postconf.py", line 36, in
from waptserver.scripts import nginxparser
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'waptserver'

Hello Vincent,

could you have installed the agent's .deb package instead of the server's?

Regards,

Denis

Hello,

No, the packages installed were: tis-waptserver and tis-waptsetup, according to the documentation available at this URL: https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-server-upgrade.html.

I ended up deleting everything and restoring a backup. Everything is working now. Thank you for your support.

Best regards.

Hi Vincent,
thanks for the feedback

. The error message implied that some Python files were missing from the server-side component. But anyway, if the upgrade went smoothly in the end, that's the most important thing.
I'm marking the topic as resolved.
Best regards,
Denis
