Device edit Uniqueid

gpadider6 years ago

Hello,

I'm trying to find a way to make Traccar ignoring some devices positions and alarms.
I tried to "disable" a device but it does not work.

So I tried to edit the uniqueid (identifier) of the device and add to it "disabled" so for example unique id 20182018 it becomes 20182018-disabled. So I thought traccar will now ignore messages from device 20182018 because it's not in the list.

But it's not working, maybe because of the cache.
Do you have a solution to do ignore devices without deleting them or restarting Traccar ?

Thank you have a good day.

Changing unique id should work.

Hello Anton,

I've tried many times but it's not working. Maybe there is an internal cache ?
Do you now maybe another method to ignore devices without restarting Traccar ? Maybe delete them ?

You can use API.

I use the traccar web app to edit the unique id so it uses the API right ?
Or it's another endpoint ?

Yes, it uses API.

Ok so the API does not seem to update the internal cache when I edit a uniqueid

I have just tested latest version. Both disabling device and change uniqueId works.

Hi

I use traccar server version 4.15 on windows server 2012 and I have the same issue.

I use API to change uniqueid but positions are always save on the deviceid.

To be more precise I have two device with the same IMEI root, but I want to switch saving positions records between this two device.

For example :

  • I set up two diffĂ©rent device
    deviceid1 / IMEI-private
    deviceid2 / IMEI-pro

  • In API I modify like this
    deviceid1 / IMEI
    deviceid2 / IMEI-pro

  • positions are recorded on deviceid

  • but when i switch, I call two times the API
    1st
    deviceid1 / IMEI-private
    deviceid2 / IMEI-pro
    2nd
    deviceid1 / IMEI-private
    deviceid2 / IMEI

  • positions continues to be recorded on deviceid1 on database

  • but on Traccar Web positions seems to be on the expected device (deviceid2)

Can you help me ?

Thanks
