Hi Antoine,

Thanks very much for your help yesterday, those errors have seem to stop.

Though i have a different problem the Maddash does not update the mesh.

In the meshconfig-guiagent.log i get these errors:

Any ideas?

Could it be that i have not set up my Measurement Archive correctly?

Many thanks

Andreas

Andreas,

I just checked your file and it is missing a "description" entry at the same level as the "administrators", "organisations" and "tests" entries.  You should add it.

If you're using the provided 'build_json' script to transform the mesh XML file to JSON, you can add it to the original XML file as the top-level entry, like this:

description Gigaclear-mesh
<administrator>
…


And then re-generate your JSON file, publish it and try the generate_configuration script again.

Hope this helps,

Antoine.
