Can I use some kind of script to create image and ghost my lab machines

[Wayne Workman]

@andrewg78 The API supports multicast. The documentation here shows us how: https://news.fogproject.org/simplified-api-documentation/

You must specify multicastsession as the task type. This is how:

curl --silent -k -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'fog-user-token: NTcwZTkwYzA5ZDE5NGI0ZTQ3NDgzYzE5ZmM5YWZiZjU5YmZjNjcxMzhiODNlMDczNTlhMWNiNjIxNDVlYmM4ZmZjMGVlOTFiNmUzNzFkNjY5ZmFjNzViMjRiNmJiNWNlM2JiYTM3ZDIxNzk3N2Y3YmM5N2JkM2U4ODZhODdmZjk=' -H 'fog-api-token: M2JhM2ViZmJhZDM1MmQ1MTU4NTNjMTNmZjY4YTY3MGUxMTZmNzgyMmQxYzlhOWMwMmRjMTg0NWNmYTE4MmZiY2FkNjFjYzY1ZjY5NGQ4ZTE1Yjk4ZTg5NTQ0YTBiYmIwYzFjYmFiNTFiYzkwZTQ0YzI5MzFlNWM0NzhmMzEyNTk=' http://10.0.0.28/fog/group/1/multicastsession

@Wayne-Workman
Thx, I’ve tried this, and there is no any action
I have no error but task is not being created.
curl --header “Content-Type: application/json” --header “fog-api-token: <my_token>” --header “fog-user-token: <my_token>” --data ‘{“taskTypeID”:8}’ -X POST http://<IP>/fog/group/3/multicastsession

@AndrewG78 Anything you see in the apache error logs when running the curl command?

[Wayne Workman]

@andrewg78 Yes, please check the apache error logs. The command I posted did work on my home fog server.

[Tom Elliott]

@andrewg78 I don’t think you need the --data '{"taskTypeID": 8}' though it shouldn’t really matter. Is there any return output from the command losing teh --silent component should show you what’s going on more directly.

Something like:

curl -vvv -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'fog-api-token: <my_token>' -H 'fog-user-token: <my_token>' http://<IP>/fog/group/3/task -X POST --data '{"taskTypeID": 8}'

[AndrewG78]

I have three groups. I wanted to process group ID==3

curl -vvv --header “Content-Type: application/json” --header “fog-api-token: <my_token>” --header “fog-user-token:<my_token>” -X POST http://<IP>/fog/group/3/multicastsession

@andrewg78 Why don’t you try what I suggested?

curl -vvv -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'fog-api-token: <my_token>' -H 'fog-user-token: <my_token>' http://<IP>/fog/group/3/task -X POST --data '{"taskTypeID": 8}'

[AndrewG78]

@Tom-Elliott
Actually I tried your suggestion and have some issue.
curl -vvv --header “Content-Type: application/json” --header “fog-api-token: <my_token>” --header “fog-user-token:<my_token>” -X POST --data ‘{“taskTypeID”: 8}’ http://<IP>/fog/group/3/task

but GET method works perfectly
curl --header “Content-Type: application/json” --header “fog-api-token: <my_token>” --header “fog-user-token: <my_token>” --data ‘{“hostID”:13}’ -X GET http://<IP>/fog/task/active

@andrewg78 Maybe you install Insomnia and work-through the request there first?

[AndrewG78]

Hi @wayne-workman
When I use your example to Get task status of host ID 1,
I always receive status of all hosts, but not the particular one.
Could you help here?
I’m on 1.4.4
regards

@andrewg78 There’s an example of that very thing here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9779/can-i-use-some-kind-of-script-to-create-image-and-ghost-my-lab-machines/9?page=2
