when I run

` sensuctl entity list`

I only get a partial list of our entities (42 lines instead of the more than 60 I am expecting). Some of the entities are old servers that have been shutdown a long time ago. Many of the new servers are not showing in the list, even though they have events in

`sensuctl event list`

How do I get sensctl to list all the entities?

Thanks  
Rob

Hmm,

I’m trying to remember if this was a bug in 6.0.0 or not.

One last configuration thing. Are you running with full administration RBAC privledges for this cluster?  
I haven’t tested it this specific scenario yet, but it might be possible to construct cluster-role or namespace specific role rules that would prevent you from seeing a subset of entities but still see the events.

Thanks @jspaleta, the version number was a great prompt 🙂

Looks like we did not run the `sensu-backend upgrade` command after we moved from ver 5 to ver 6

I have now run that and I get a full list of entities.

Thanks  
Rob

great, yeah that jump across major versions required an one time upgrade step.
