Originally created by @tlofreso on GitHub (Jul 15, 2019).

Environment

Python version: Python 3.6.6
NetBox version: v2.6.1

Steps to Reproduce

bulk create IP addresses: 10.1.1.[100-140]/24
delete newly created IPs via api ($ip = list of IDs for IPs: 10.1.1.100-140):

foreach ($ip in $ips) {
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$($base_url)/ipam/ip-addresses/$($ip)/" -Headers $headers -Method Delete
}

Check changelog for all changes done

Expected Behavior

Script will make the following call for each id provided:

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$($base_url)/ipam/ip-addresses/$($ip)/" -Headers $headers -Method Delete

A unique Request ID should should exist on page */extras/changelog for each id provided

Observed Behavior

number of changelog Request IDs < number of ids provided on page */extras/changelog
In other words, number of documented changes in changelog is less than actual changes made.
All changes do occur as they should, but not all are logged.

I'm not able to reproduce this using raw API calls: A change is recorded both during the creation and the deletion of each IP address.

Please note that bug reports must be fully reproducible by others without relying on any external tools. The partial script you posted cannot be reproduced. You may request that this be reopened if you are able to reproduce the issue using only raw API requests (e.g. through curl).

I am unable to reproduce this on master and using pynetbox. I suspect there is something wrong with your procedure as evidenced by the fact that there are two different users authenticating and deleting these addresses.

I'll test on a separate out of box install and update. We only see the issue when doing a batch of changes via the API in quick succession.

Consider closed for now until I can eliminate some of the variables we're identifying.

FYI, I agree with you. I am not able to reproduce this on a new install :(

Will spend some time troubleshooting our prod deployment. Thank you for your efforts
