database.registerUnknown set to true but log still indicating Unknown device

I have a server running Traccar - I think it is Version 3.7-Snapshot.

1. I edited the following entry in the traccar.xml file:

   <entry key='database.ignoreUnknown'>true</entry>
   

   and changed it ot:

   <entry key='database.ignoreUnknown'>false</entry>
   

2. I added the following to the traccar.xml:

   <entry key='database.registerUnknown'>true</entry>
   

3. I shut down the service and re-started it.
4. My log file tracker-server.txt indicates:

   2017-01-19 15:51:27  WARN: Unknown device - 90688566 
   

   How do I make traccar not ignore unknown entries and automatically register them?

Thanks.

Your config is correct, but your version of Traccar is old. It doesn't support "registerUnknown" parameter.

Anton,

Thank you. I updated to version 3.9, however the device with the unknown/unregistered id does not show up in the device list when logged in as admin.

The tracker-server log says the following:

By default automatically created devices are not linked to any user account. You have to link it to yourself as an admin if you want to see it.

Anton,

Thank you again. But how do "Link it yourself as an admin if you ant to see it"? Is there a list where these unregistered devices are listed?

Yes, you go into Settings -> Users, select your user account there and click Devices button in the toolbar. There you can link devices to your own or any other account.

Thank you!

It would be nice to have a config setting that would allow auto-assignment to admin (or other user) if desired. I know that would be a HUGE perk for my use-case.
