Bit strange, i did added some fields to the json status recently. If the TTN parser was not updated and is not resilient against field changes (which is a ‘bit rot’ bug), than it can cause this problem. The extra fields were: “pfrm”, “mail” and “desc”. These changes were communicated. See also this…

Adding pfrm, mail and desc doesn’t seem to change the behaviour. Still no show at http://thethingsnetwork.org/api/v0/gateways/

I don’t understand your remark. You cannot add these fields, or you can, but that does not change anything of course, these new fields [which are part of the communication between the forwarder and the backend] may be the cause of the problems because of the TTN parser. It’s hard to imagine since t…

if you want to use gps log and lat to apear on some status/map you need to run gps_pkt_fwd, not basic_pkt_fwd fake_gps field in json is used only in gps_pkt_fwd (and beacon_pkt_fwd) [image] Lora-net/packet_forwarder A LoRa packet forwarder is a program running on the host of a LoRa gatew…

Okay, after some tests i found the following on TTN: Already existing gateways in the list http://thethingsnetwork.org/api/v0/gateways/ work with and without the extra fields in the general status. New gateways (i.e. with unknown gateway id’s) are NOT added to this list. Some there is a bug in the…

The status updates are broken indeed (they were implemented using the deprecated DB instead of API; @Jorma is fixing it). Unrelated to the API though. The /gateways/ shows GW status packets, the /nodes/ shows packets, so they’re not necessarily both there if one of the two packet types aren’t sent. …

I followed @nestorayuso 's advice and changed from basic_pkt_fwd to gps_pkt_fwd. Immediately, my gateway showed up in http://thethingsnetwork.org/api/v0/gateways/008000000000A452/ and I see packages in the tcpdump containing this info. Not all available fields are shown, but they are also not show…

[image] turiphro: so they’re not necessarily both there if one of the two packet types aren’t sent. I understand, so i made sure packets were send and locally sniffed if the status messages were there too. Btw, this nodes list [ http://thethingsnetwork.org/api/v0/nodes/ ] is ridiculously sho…
