Troubleshooting & Known issues

• cartography is executed through systemd timer (can be cron too). To do manual execution through systemd:

systemd-run --on-calendar=2022-02-02T23:00 systemctl start cartography.service

or manually, exporting first variables from /etc/default/cartography (if you call file directly, cartography won't read variable and will return empty value)

$ export VAR1= VAR2=
$ cartography $CARTOGRAPHY_ARGS
