No I did not make any changes to aruba.pm, just added the custom field.

Subject: Re: [Netdisco] Aruba Instant AP Serial Number Help
Thank you for that, Paul
I have modified my deployment.yml to include your settings and am waiting for
the results. By chance did you make modifications to your aruba.pm or is it the
default?
BTW, I'm on Netdisco version 2.097002, aruba.my and aruba-instant.my are tagged
ArubaOS 8.13.1.0_93688 if that makes a difference.
Thanks again for the help

Probably not the answer you are looking for, but I gave up to some extent and
went for the custom field like shown below. This works for all our IAP's
whether virtual controllers or members.
host_groups:
aruba_access_points:
- 'os:airos'
host_group_displaynames:
aruba_access_points: 'Aruba APs'
custom_fields:
device:
- name: 'arubaserial'
label: 'Aruba AP Serial'
snmp_object: 'AI-AP-MIB::aiAPSerialNum'
only: 'group:aruba_access_points'
Would be great if we could also pull all the AP info such as SSID and connected
clients etc on Instant AP's just like we can with real controllers. It is
exposed by SNMP but Netdisco doesn't see it. That's not related to your issue
though.

Subject: Re: [Netdisco] Aruba Instant AP Serial Number Help
I just tried a new aruba-instant.my and guess what - I now have a few serial
numbers on the inventory page. They are displaying in the following format:
HASH(0x000000000000) VNQ0000000
[the example ^ has obfuscated information]
The few that now have serial number information turn out to be the IAP devices
elected as the virtual controller for each of our Aruba Central groups.
Can anyone offer a configuration (either Aruba or Netdisco) for the individual
Aruba AP315, AP365, AP375, AP567, AP615 and AP635 models to respond with their
own serial numbers?
TY

I have the same problem and can't get it sorted. Have hundreds of various
models of Aruba IAP across campus. When I SNMPwalk them from the cli, serial
reports as undef.
When I try
netdisco-do show -d <IP> -e AI-AP-MIB::aiAPSerialNum
it too returns undef.
I *believe* I modified the Aruba.pm correctly but have the same results.
Vertiv / Liebert UPS, HP switches and some of my Unifi Nanobeam bridges -
Netdisco discovered those with no problem at all.
I have read the earlier posts about this issue and just not making any headway.
Understand I am only days into a Netdisco install so I have much to learn. Was
there a resolution and I am overlooking something simple?
Thanks
