Imported Client discovery list via script is not being discovered

OS - Centos7
UrBackup Server - 2.4.13

Clients - windows 10
UrBackup client - 2.4.10

The server and clients are on different subnets. I found a script on a forum which adds computers to discovery list and it works as expected, discovery list is filled with all computers I exported from AD. The problem is that these computers are not being discovered as clients. I tried removing them from a list and added one computer manually and then it worked.

The script:

import urbackup_api

server = urbackup_api.urbackup_server("http://127.0.0.1:55414/x", "adminusername", "adminpassword")

for extra_client in server.get_extra_clients():
    server.remove_extra_client(extra_client["id"])

with open("/scripts/ComputersList.txt", "r") as f:
    for line in f:
        server.add_extra_client(line)

Enabled debug mode on server and here is the log:

The list of auto discovery client was presented all day, there are two pcs which had urbackup connected on another server so please ignore these warnings about “Kame*******” and “Temp*******”.
I have removed all of computers from list and added “Ad*******” manually at 11:13 and as you can see at 11:14:37 it was discovered. The same computer was on discovery list all day but somehow it was not being discovered.

Do you have any ideas why it’s not being discovered?

I guess the computers are shown on the status page? Any extra whitespace characters in them? (Use line.strip() ?)

Adding line.strip() fixed everything
Thank you very much :slight_smile:
