Currently, my Node Red had the following problem: when opening the dashboard, a tab with the name undefined is opened and thus the UI does not appear. Could anyone help? The panel is located on the IP http://192.168.0.100/.

The missing node modules message, followed by Removing node from config is a warning that a node that is not used has been uninstalled manually using npm, and it has been removed from .config.nodes.json. As @marcus-j-davies says, the fact that it says creating new flows file may mean that you have started it a different way to the normal way you do it and it is looking in a different folder or for a different flows file.
In fact, when I tried to install the thermometer pallet, it didn't show up in my flow for use. It only showed up if I accessed 127.0.0.1:1880, but this was not my configured access (which I can no longer see the UI). What would be the procedure for adjustment? I'm a beginner in node-red. Thanks!
I saw a similar forum that said to uninstall pallete that was redundant like node-red-contrib-ui_j and node-red-dashboard, but both appear in use under "Manage pallete" even though it's not using contrib-ui_j. So, despite uninstalling via cmd, they keep popping up.
What do you mean by configured access. You need to give us more information.
How did you install it, how are you running it and what do you mean by configured access?
I am using a gateway device, my machine is configured with the ip mentioned at the beginning of 192, it is through this access that I view my construction, my configured panel, where I kept the work and viewed the dashboard. The thermometer pallete add even installed via cmd npm, did not appear in my access. After a while, the dashboard tab stopped working properly, opening only a tab with an undefined name. Given this, the thermometer could only be seen for use when I accessed the link starting with 127 through the browser (which I did not use).
Firstly, some terminology.
This is an example of the Node-red editor.
And this is an example of the Node-red dashboard.
Do you see the editor at 192.168.0.100:1880 (or on your PC, 127.0.0.1:1880)?
Do you see the dashboard at 192.168.0.100:1880/ui (or on your PC, 127.0.0.1:1880/ui)?
How do you start Node-red?
What version of Node-red do you have? (Click the hamburger menu top right of the editor and it should be at the bottom of the drop-down menu)
I think you would be wise to uninstall node-red-contrib-ui_j because it was last updated 8 years ago and almost certainly does not work with the current version of Node-red.
If you can see the editor, you can select the hamburger menu at top right and Manage Palette to uninstall it.
I had tried to uninstall via cmd, because in that place you talked about it appears that it is in use (even though it is not), so it does not show the option to uninstall. Would there be another way to uninstall? What line of code would you use for this? I also tried to update some pallets in this same tab, but it also gives an error.
Version 3.1.0 is accessed if you use 127.0.0.1:1880. In fact, it was there that the thermometer I was looking for appeared. But the panel I've always worked on was 1. http://192.168.0.100:1880/#flow.
I'm referring to an IO-LINK system that is sending the data from the sensors I'm using to the red node. So, even if I go on to access 127.0.0.1:1880 which is working on the latest version, and it shows the thermometer I was looking for, it does not show the data transmitted from that system, because my machine (pc) is configured on ip 192.168.0.110. Do you know which ip I could use on the machine for the data to be transmitted and displayed on that 127.0.0.1:1880 that is working?
You can see the list of nodes installed with node-red-contrib-ui-j at it's page on flows.nodered.org
It won't uninstall if you have any of these deployed.
OK, that explains it. You have two devices running node-red. The IO-LINK system (192.168.0.100) which is running the ancient version 0.18.7 and the PC (192.168.0.110) which you have installed version 3.1.0 on. 127.0.0.1 is a special address that means 'the device the browser is running on` so when you use that in a browser on the PC it connects to the version of node-red running on the PC. When you use 192.168.0.100 it connects to the IO-LINK system running node-red 0.18.7.
node-red-dashboard may not be compatible with the old version of node red, or with whatever version of nodejs is running on that device, which is why it does not work on the IO-LINK.
Are you able to update nodejs and node-red on the IO-LINK?
Right. But until this error of the undefined tab appeared, I used the node-red-dashboard in this old version that connects to my IO-LINK system.
In case, I believe, I would have to configure my IO-LINK system to this new ip of the latest version? If it wasn't possible, would there be a way to roll back the node red version to my previous one?
What did you do that stopped it working? Is the screenshot you showed above with the dashboard errors the node-red running on the IO_LINK device? If it used to be ok what did you do to make it fail?
I don't understand what you mean. I thought that node-red was running in the IO-link device. Please draw a diagram showing the various devices that we are talking about.
I installed node-red-contrib-ui-widget-thermometer. Thus, node-red updated to a newer version, changing the access link. The "link" to my system that is collecting the data to be viewed, was previously called as in the image.
If in the new tab with the recent version of node-red, what ip would I put in the URL in that module? And which ip should I put on my machine? Before the error was: url link in config (192.168.0.102/iolink...), my machine (192.168.0.110) and access in browser by 192.168.0.100. Since with the node red update this browser access changed to 127.0.0.1, what would be the ip's in the configuration link and on my machine? I think that amendment would do the trick, but I'm not sure.
