Subject: Missing Statistics & Broken "Map Anywhere" link for new UUID | Official ADS-B Exchange Group | Page 1

Hi ADSB Exchange Support Team,

I am experiencing an issue with a newly claimed feeder record. While my live feed and MLAT are connected and syncing perfectly, my personal stats are not displaying at all, and my map is broken. It appears to be a database issue on your backend.

My Feeder Details:

Site Name: whiskeybravo

Full UUID: 9dec9946-6829-4100-be01-84d1526fa673

Short ID: Y3KJdC6_yum-

The Symptoms:

Statistics: My stats page is completely blank, showing 0 aircraft and is stuck on the January 1, 1970 epoch.

Map Anywhere: My map link (https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?feed=Y3KJdC6_yum-) loads the UI but immediately throws this error: Problem fetching data from the server: Data Not Found - Anywhere ID [].

Troubleshooting completed on my end:

The Pi is fully healthy and continuously pushing the stats payload (gzipped JSON) every 5 seconds to /api/receive/.

I verified the payload contains valid aircraft data (positions, RSSI, messages) and the correct UUID.

Your server successfully accepts the payload and returns an HTTP 200 OK every time. (We also ensured the header is strictly RFC-compliant: Content-Encoding: gzip).

Because the map error specifically shows empty brackets [] for the Anywhere ID, it indicates that my receiver record exists as a stub in your database, but it has not been assigned its Anywhere ID join key to link the live aircraft data, which is also preventing the stats from generating.

Could you please reset, re-initialize, or repair the database record for this UUID on your end so my stats and map can start populating?

Thank you!

Oof! That's some fine AI slop right there 😂 Those IDs don't align - full UUID 8d9dc49c-485f-4d44-8c71-a9d4c267c894 is short feeder UID SvpLW3hT458A

sand zodiac Oof! That's some fine AI slop right there 😂 Those IDs don't align - full UUID `...

Haha, fair play, you caught me using AI to draft that because I was going crazy trying to debug this! 😅

But you just solved the mystery for me. If Y3KJdC6_yum- doesn't align with my UUID 9dec9946-6829-4100-be01-84d1526fa673, it means the portal's auto-detect suggested the wrong ID for me to claim (it probably picked up another Pi on my IP). My Pi has been feeding perfectly to 9dec... while I've been staring at the empty map for Y3K...!

Could you do me a huge favor and tell me what the correct Short ID is for

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 10:47 AM

You can use a URL like https://www.adsbexchange.com/api/feeders/?feed=8d9dc49c-485f-4d44-8c71-a9d4c267c894

potent flint May 5, 2026, 10:51 AM

#

so why i dont see it here ?

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 10:53 AM

#

it appears that you have two UUIDs involved here. Are you using the ADSBx Pi image?

potent flint May 5, 2026, 10:56 AM

#

im using to pie for adsb the first one on the list in the picture woorks fine
the second one appears online but the map and the stats are empty

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 10:58 AM

#

what about its local map?

potent flint May 5, 2026, 11:09 AM

#

working fine the local map

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 11:15 AM

#

are you sure that's the right one (of the two)?

potent flint May 5, 2026, 11:38 AM

#

wait my active station is the one in the picture now
its saying last active on Thursday, 30 April 2026
is it a bug ?

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 11:46 AM

#

I wonder if it has something to do with the MLAT name. I'm not sure exactly how the account system correlates things. I'd make sure that both feeders have the expected UUID and MLAT names (different from eachother) and if any of those don't align with the account, unlink and relink them maybe.

potent flint May 5, 2026, 11:51 AM

#

just did it now and the name didnt change also the last active 🙁

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 12:03 PM

#

something's not lining up somewhere. Have you verified that the Pi that's using UUID 9dec9946-6829-4100-be01-84d1526fa673 is configured with MLAT name whiskeybravo_801?

potent flint May 5, 2026, 12:04 PM

#

Yes.

9dec9946-6829-4100-be01-84d1526fa673 is the UUID. Verified at every authoritative location on the box:

docker-compose.yml line 101: UUID=9dec9946-6829-4100-be01-84d1526fa673
Container env (docker exec adsb-multi-adsbx-1 env): UUID=9dec9946-6829-4100-be01-84d1526fa673
/boot/adsbx-uuid inside the container: 9dec9946-6829-4100-be01-84d1526fa673
Native (inactive) install at /usr/local/share/adsbexchange/adsbx-uuid: 9dec9946-6829-4100-be01-84d1526fa673

All four agree. That's the UUID this Pi broadcasts to ADSBx.

#

whiskeybravo — that's the name the Pi sends.

Verified everywhere:

docker-compose.yml: SITENAME=whiskeybravo, MLAT_USER=whiskeybravo
Container env: SITENAME=whiskeybravo
mlat-client command line: --user whiskeybravo
/etc/default/adsbexchange (native install): USER="whiskeybravo"

The ADSBx portal stores the receiver under the name whiskeybravo_801 in their account-listing page — that's a
separate string they hold on their side from when the receiver was first registered. The Pi itself sends just
whiskeybravo. If you want the portal name to match, edit and save the receiver name to whiskeybravo in the portal
UI.

#

but on the website its whiskeybravo_801

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 12:05 PM

#

more AI slop - whiskeybravo_801 ws never generated on the ADSBx side - it's something you input at some point

#

If you get everything configured correctly on both of your feeders, it may take some time for the account system to full pick up the changes. New feeders can't be linked for up to 24 hours after they're first created, so there's some sort of daily sync. I don't have any visibility into that. If you get everything configured correctly today and can't do the linking tomorrow, we can ask for help from the ADSBx dev team.

potent flint May 5, 2026, 12:18 PM

#

I just copied everything from terminal using Claude to give a proof that everything is configured correctly. But on the adsbx website it doesn’t show the same name of the station but that stats are working ! And the configuration was made 3 weeks ago and the last active shows 30th of April. What we need to do to fix it?

buoyant condor May 5, 2026, 3:17 PM

#

The ADSBx Image doesn't use Docker, we really need to understand what you have before we can help and this random AI stuff is just making it harder to help. So lets back up, what Pi image did you use or did you install all the software on a vanilla Pi OS yourself?

potent flint May 5, 2026, 4:59 PM

#

buoyant condor The ADSBx Image doesn't use Docker, we really need to understand what you have b...

ok
To answer your question directly: I initially started with a vanilla Raspberry Pi OS and ran your setup.sh install script. This installed the native systemd services on the Pi.

However, later on, I switched to using the 'sdr-enthusiasts' Docker stack. I completely disabled and stopped all the native ADSBx systemd services (adsbexchange-feed, adsbexchange-mlat, etc.). Right now, the actual data going to your servers is coming purely from the Docker container.

The feeder is actually working perfectly from my end. My UUID is 9dec9946-6829-4100-be01-84d1526fa673 (sitename: whiskeybravo). I've attached a screenshot from the stats page taken just a few minutes ago showing that your servers are actively receiving my data loud and clear (hundreds of aircraft logged, live API returning current data).

The only issue I am having is a display bug on your web portal:

My portal record SvpLW3hT458A (listed as whiskeybravo_801) is stuck showing "Last Active: 30 April", even though my Pi is actively feeding right now under this exact UUID.

There is an empty orphan record Y3KJdC6_yum- stuck on my page from a UUID rotation on April 30.

Could you please manually refresh/sync the 'Last Active' field on SvpLW3hT458A so it reflects my live feed, and just delete that broken orphan record?

JUST TO BE CLEAR IM FEEDING ONLY FROM ONE PIE (SYSTEM)

#

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 5:10 PM

#

Maybe you didn't clean up as well as you think. I suspect that you still have adsbexchange-stats running from the original installation, using the original UUID.

buoyant condor May 5, 2026, 5:22 PM

#

We don’t have a setup.sh script, we have a feed.sh script but as the instructions say that requires you to have a working feeder that is already collecting data.

#

Honestly I would hose the whole thing and use the premade image, it’s very hard to support random software we are not familiar with.

cunning talon May 5, 2026, 5:38 PM

#

I think you need to drop the AI slop and start fresh using the ADSBx image. Or ADSB.im, or ultrafeeder, or anything)

potent flint May 5, 2026, 5:53 PM

#

regarding the "AI slop" comment.
I just used it to help organize the technical details so my setup would be as clear as possible. There's really no need to be rude about it.
Moving on to the actual setup, I think we're overcomplicating this.

@cunning talon I actually am running ultrafeeder (using the sdr enthusiasts docker stack).

@sand zodiac I thought about the old setup too, but I double checked to be sure. The old native systemd services are 100% dead and disabled. I checked the running processes, and every single ADSBx PID is contained inside the Docker cgroup. There's definitely no ghost feeder running on the host.

Everything on my end is actually working fine. If you check the screenshot I attached, your live API shows my feed is active right now and sending data.

I don't really need help troubleshooting the Pi. I only reached out because the web portal seems bugged. My station page is stuck showing "Last Active: 30 April", and I have an old dead UUID (Y3KJdC6_yum-) stuck on my account from a previous setup.

I just wanted to see if someone could un-stick the date on my profile and delete that old orphan record.
If that's not possible from your end, all good, I'll just ignore the UI bug.

Thanks

potent flint regarding the "AI slop" comment. I just used it to help organize the technical ...

My issue with the AI thing is that you came in here with this fancy write-up of how you supposedly did this expert analysis of the problem and proved that it's a database bug, but it's actually a copy/paste of what AI spat out at you, and a lot of it is just wrong. If you'd even said "here's what AI responded with when I asked about the problem", I'd have given you more credit.

#

That aside, we had a similar case here recently (https://discord.com/channels/1141047768266322061/1497301061407342703), where the feeder was reinstalled and the owner was convinced that a second UUID was not being used. In the end, he started over from scratch, and everything started working.

potent flint May 5, 2026, 6:33 PM

#

sand zodiac That aside, we had a similar case here recently (https://discord.com/channels/11...

Fair point on the AI.
should have flagged it as such. Sorry for the noise🙌🏻

If the only real issue is a stale Last Active field on the account listing, I'd rather live with that than rebuild a working multinetwork setup.
If there's anything I can do short of a full reinstall (for example: confirm from your side that the data on 9dec9946-… is being correctly attributed to my account, or have someone manually refresh the listing record),

I'd appreciate it. Otherwise no worries thanks for the time

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 6:59 PM

#

potent flint Fair point on the AI. should have flagged it as such. Sorry for the noise🙌🏻 ...

That's not the only issue, though - we also see the other feeder UID appearing to be active today (even after you unlinked it), which suggests that something is still sending data with that other UUID. What does journalctl -u adsbexchange-stats.service output on the host (not inside your new container)?

potent flint May 5, 2026, 7:03 PM

#

Running journalctl -u adsbexchange-stats.service --no-pager comes back completely empty:
-- No entries --
Result:
ActiveState=inactive
SubState=dead
UnitFileState=disabled
ExecMainStartTimestamp= (it's completely empty, meaning it never even started).

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 7:06 PM

#

did you say earlier that you have two Pi's?

potent flint May 5, 2026, 7:06 PM

#

yeah but it was my mistake ... the other pie dosent run adsbx

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 7:08 PM

#

hmm. well, I don't know anything about ultrafeeder, so I can't really help try to determine if it's using the wrong UUID somewhere

potent flint May 5, 2026, 7:11 PM

#

🙁

#

so maybe ill leave it like that.. idk🤷🏻‍♂️

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 7:13 PM

#

is the name "whiskeybravo_801" actually sometihng that you used at some point?

potent flint May 5, 2026, 7:26 PM

#

no. never used it

#

funny thing my pie is sending everything to this name and the name on the pie is whiskeybravo... but how can it be if it says last active on 30th april?

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 7:39 PM

#

I'm not sure what the account system sees if the same name has been used with two different UUIDs

#

I was thinking it might be interesting to try a different MLAT name

potent flint May 5, 2026, 7:43 PM

#

so maybe trying to change the name on my pie ?

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 7:45 PM

#

yes

#

I mean the MLAT name that you would have configured in ultrafeeder somehow

#

I still think that there's another UUID still active somehow, though

potent flint May 5, 2026, 8:00 PM

#

ill do i final check again

potent flint May 5, 2026, 8:33 PM

#

im going to do a test
i will change the name on my pie to whiskeybravo-test

and ill see if it will appera on your website
ok?

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 8:39 PM

#

sure. I'm done for tonight, though. It may take some time before you can link with the new new name. It'd be interesting to see what happens anyway. BTW. I'm not an ADSBx employee - just a community member/mod

potent flint May 5, 2026, 8:43 PM

#

I temporarily changed the SITENAME / MLAT_USER in my Docker container to whiskeybravo-uuidtest. As you can see in the attached screenshot, that exact new name immediately popped up on your MLAT map at my location.

This proves 100% that the Docker container on this Pi is the sole source of the feed. There is no rogue device or old host service running.

Since the data flow is clearly working perfectly from my end to your backend, the issue is strictly a frontend bug on the portal (the 'Last Active' date frozen on April 30). If you guys can't manually sync/refresh that UI field, I'll just leave it be. The actual feeder is doing great.

@buoyant condor @cunning talon

Dude, still with the AI slop? Lol

potent flint May 5, 2026, 8:44 PM

cunning talon May 5, 2026, 8:45 PM

#

Are you using a decent power supply? Using an SD card or a USB SSD? That actually does matter.

potent flint May 5, 2026, 8:45 PM

#

im using pie 5 with nvme of 1 tb

cunning talon May 5, 2026, 8:45 PM

#

That’s your issue

potent flint May 5, 2026, 8:46 PM

#

and its powerd with 27w original power supply

cunning talon May 5, 2026, 8:46 PM

#

Power supply is good, the drive is causing your issues

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 8:46 PM

#

how does the appearance of the new name "prove 100%" that there's not something else sending data with the old UUID?

potent flint May 5, 2026, 8:47 PM

#

how the drive is the issue? its a brand new smasung990 pro m.2 drive

#

and im running 11 feeders

#

beccuse i dont have any other device running adsbx...

cunning talon May 5, 2026, 8:48 PM

#

Because the pi struggles to power a drive via USB cleanly. I had a similar issue when I switched images and tried my NVME 2TB drive.

potent flint May 5, 2026, 8:49 PM

#

but all the other feeders are working perfectly

#

and i did the test now and with the test it worked 100%

cunning talon May 5, 2026, 8:50 PM

#

Is the drive powered by the pi or an external power supply

potent flint May 5, 2026, 8:51 PM

#

it has his own board connected to the pie

sand zodiac May 5, 2026, 9:00 PM

#

I don't think it's a power supply issue or anything like that. There's a discrepancy with feeder IDs active from that IP address. It's not clear what the exact cause is so far.

cunning talon May 5, 2026, 9:00 PM

#

dmesg | grep -i 'usb\|under-voltage' just for my own entertainment then lol

Wondering if the SDR reboots/power drops are causing it to look like multiple feeders. But I’m really, really grasping at straws with that one lol

potent flint hi <@555481321741352978> can we get any update about my issue ?

Not really. Did you leave your MLAT name change in place, or did you change it back?

potent flint May 6, 2026, 10:20 AM

#

changed it back

sand zodiac May 6, 2026, 10:20 AM

#

hmm, OK. I was thinking you could change it and then do the linking to you account and see what name gets assocated with each feeder UID

potent flint May 6, 2026, 10:23 AM

#

did it yesterday
then on the MLAT map changed but on the receivers page it didnt change.
but on the stats page evrything works but still showing last active Thursday, 30 April 2026

sand zodiac May 6, 2026, 10:24 AM

#

as I said at the time (I think), it may take some time for the accounts system to pick up the change

potent flint May 6, 2026, 10:25 AM

#

how can it be it shows last active a week ago but it shows im online ?

#

is there someone on the devteam we can ask?

sand zodiac May 6, 2026, 10:27 AM

#

I've already asked. I can't demand their immediate attention, though. I suspect it has something to do with two UUIDs being associated with the same MLAT name, but can't confirm that myself.

potent flint May 6, 2026, 10:27 AM

#

so we wait for maybe they will look in to it ?

sand zodiac May 6, 2026, 10:28 AM

#

yes, hopefully

#

meanwhile, I would try changing your MLAT name to something else (whiskeybravo-ultrafeeder or something) and see what it looks like tomorrow

potent flint May 7, 2026, 4:25 PM

Interesting. I was going to say that it might sort itself out eventually, but I expected it'd take about 30 days (for the old UUID to expire). Or maybe someone did something to accelerate that 🤷

potent flint May 7, 2026, 4:27 PM
