Discussion Inara isn't updating my ship details

Greetings,

Someone must have been here before I'm just late to the party trying to find a discussion about it on the Forum.

OK, having an Inara account for years I got around to updating what I am doing since Odyssey gave us a whole other game to deal with. With 36 ships it 'seems' to capture everything that I have been doing except the ship details. It is setup to inport Frontier data every 24 hours but only adds ship details per a ship that I recently used or are currently using. I tested this with a ship that I haven't used for awhile with no ship details. Load it up looking at it, manually tell Inara to import the data and 'Tah Dah' all the ship details is there in Inara. I could do this for every ship that I own but what happens 24 hours later? Does it all get erased? Having the data previously in Inara does a Frontier update now and then reset it? If I don't play the game for six months which sadly occurs with real life getting in the way of playing ED does Inara lose data?

I'm wondering if the data was there what causes it to go away?

Maybe Inara cannot do it all looking for a 3rd party app (EDDB?) I should have installed long ago then connect to the Inara API page that likes it. I'll need a YouTube video to make it work. :)

Back in April or so I noticed that Inara listed some of my ships still stored at Jameson Memorial even though they are at Whipple Vision in Qetesh and had not been at Jameson Memorial in over two years.

I also noticed these were ships that I never use so I went to Qetesh and parked at the station and then transferred to each of the ships that had outdated information in Inara. After that I manually imported the data and the ship location for all was updated.

The point of all this is it seems to me for Inara to update information for ships you have to periodically get into the ships so the ship info will be updated in your ED logs and that will get updated in Inara the next time your data is imported.

I don't know if the above will apply to your situation.

If you have an active connection to the Frontier API through Inara then Inara can obtain some information about your ships but not the full ship loadout details. Ship loadout data is taken from journals and is only written for the active ship, so yes you need to cycle through your ships so that Inara can read those journal entries and parse the most up-to-date information.

Various 3rd party tools can also connect to the Inara API and can provide updated information directly to Inara from the player journals.

Can any of the tools skim through your journals and upload the full fleet to Inara? I ask because EDDiscovery apparently can't (it's the one I use) - it seems to only upload the loadout events as they happen.

I'm not aware of any that do that specifically, no. But if you swap between all of your ships once then as long as you keep syncing data after that then it'll be accurate.

Thanks for the replies. Knowing how the data is downloaded from the journal I can deal with it now.

Also interesting that Inara setup a suit and weapons where to buy search page (want to buy a Dominator G3?). Still the last "updated" time section typically reports hundreds of days instead of hours. I guess that it was a good try.

INARA (and many other tools) only works with data from players via the API. So if no player who shares his data via a tool that uses the API has been at a certain station for days, then the data of this station is as old as the last time a player visited it. It's the same with INARA's database. This behavior/effect can be observed very well in the commodity market at eddb.io (or also at Trade Dangerous - a trading tool).
