Cronjob updatedevices.pl error

[konrad]

Hi,

moved from Ubuntu 14.04 to 20.04, all seems fine, but when executing the cronjob:
$PREFIX/bin/updatedevices.pl -DFA

this error appear in /var/log/syslog

netdot: ERROR - DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Field 'use_network_broadcast' doesn't have a default value [for Statement "INSERT INTO ipblock#012 (address,prefix,version,status,first_seen,last_seen)#12 VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)#12 ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE last_seen=VALUES(last_seen);" with ParamValues: 0='168492545', 1=32, 2=4, 3=IpblockStatus=HASH(0x55e286bc9fe8), 4='2022/07/21 02:15:02', 5='2022/07/21 02:15:02'] at /usr/share/perl5/DBIx/ContextualFetch.pm line 52.#12

That's weird. On ipblock table definition use_network_broadcast doesn't have a default value but when inserting a new ipblock a value should be provided (can't be NULL), on my ipblock table I have 281966 rows all of wich except 7 have a value of 0 (the others having 1).
Try to isolate the device that is reporting that. Maybe there's a problem with it.

MariaDB [netdot]> describe ipblock;

Barring that, one workaround might be assigning use_network_broadcast a default value of 0. Don't think that'll break nothing. But do so at your own risk.
MariaDB [netdot]> ALTER TABLE ipblock ALTER use_network_broadcast SET DEFAULT 0;
A rollback would be:
MariaDB [netdot]> ALTER TABLE ipblock ALTER use_network_broadcast DROP DEFAULT;
