Error Saving Alarms

From Cumulus MX version 3 build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since, and has recently released Cumulus MX version 4. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

It's a bit difficult to see your changes just in case it matters but I've been making changes to mine on this release with no issues. Be good to see the full error detail from MXDiags.

Not so important @Stuart, this is one for Mark. Once in a while this happens , he makes a change and problem solved.

I haven't seen any issues either.

Does it error if you just save the current settings without changing anything?
If not, what are you changing?

Just clicking save produces the error even if I make no alterations

I can see this error, too. Maybe it is a macOS specific issue, because as The Dalek Hunter I also am using a Mac mini M2.

Your page is sending the old JSON format.

Have you copied over the /interface folder?

Another thought, you are using the MX dashboard Alarms page? Or is this an AI2 issue?

EDIT: Screen shot above shows AI2.

It would be REALLY helpful if you could state if you are using AI2 when you get problems like this, and if you are, check if the problem also exists on the MX dashboard. I primarily look after the MX dashboard.

I just decided to check this on my Linux system and the standard dashboard alarms saving works fine but the alternate dashboard fails for me with this same error. So it seems at least for me it is only on the alternate dashboard where it fails!

Yes - I have just checked and with the default Dashboard it is fine - it only happens with AI2

Sorry - I hadn’t checked this before :(
