MMM-NetworkScanner-loading...indefinitely

    Re: MMM-NetWorkScanner

    I have run config:check and indicates no issue with the config.js syntax, but cannot get the networkscanner module to load.

    Here is the code from config.js: (note there is a missing { that dropped off code below)

                            module:                 "MMM-NetworkScanner",
                        position:               "bottom_center",
                        header:                 "Devices Online",
                        config: {
                                devices: [
                                { ipAddress: "192.168.1.11", name: "ABC", icon: "server"},
                                { ipAddress:  "192.168.1.17", name:  "DEF", icon:  "server"},
                                { ipAddress:  "192.168.1.133", name: "GHI,", icon: "mobile" },
                                ],
                                showUnknown: false,
                                showOffline:  true,
                                keepAlive:  600,
                                showLastSeen:  true,
                                updateInterval:  30
                                }
                },

pm2 logs mm gives the following output:

    what is sending this message?

    Thanks.

    Whenever it shows up, it is contiguous to the MMM-NetworkScanner received CONFIG reading in the log. When this module is added, npm install adds the “sudo” dependency - I assume that this is what is sending the message, but do not know how to confirm?

    @jthirasilpa cool, thx

    edit the node_helper.js
    add the following line

    const sudo = require("sudo");
sudo.setPassword('your-password');      // add this line, edit to use your password
module.exports = NodeHelper.create({

    Thanks Sam - I made that modification in node_helper.js in the module’s directory with my password.

    I get the following errors from the logs:

    Maybe some progress?

    So I amended the insertion as follows:

    sudo.setPassword = ('your-password');      // add this line, edit to use your password

    Config loads, but NetworkScanner module still shows “loading…”

    Error logs as follows:

    @jthirasilpa ok, had to read the sudo module code to find out where it was… cause when I searched I ended up in the wrong place…

    remove the one line I had you add

    do this

    // add these 4 lines
var options = {              
    cachePassword: true,
    prompt: 'Password, ???? ';     // put your password where ???? are (notice the quotes around)
}
        var arpHosts = this.config.network || '-l';
        var arp = sudo(['arp-scan', '-q', arpHosts], options);   // change this line, to add ,options at the end
