      @JJ-Fullmer I just relooked at the database output and noted that the hostPending field was set to ‘1’. So it did at least say in the database that the host became pending, but it still wasn’t showing in the gui outside of the existing tasks.
      I’m currently testing to see if I can recreate the issue or if having fixed the snapin with the hash error solves the issue.

      Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO

        So in my second test to see if this happened again it didn’t happen again. The second surface go 2 I’m imaging got past the part the other one magically became pending.

        So there were 2 differences one or both of which fixed the problem

        • Manually Re-uploaded the file for the snapin that had a mismatch hash error
        • Fog Client 0.12.0 was used instead of 0.11.19

        I need to image another different device before I can be really sure.

        So now I’m wondering why the new 0.12.0 fog client isn’t being auto updated to on all my clients through the client updater? As I recall from past updates, simply updating the installer on the fog server side should get all the clients to update. Am I forgetting a step? @Sebastian-Roth maybe you have some insights.
        I can deploy it through my own software deployment tools if I must.

          @JJ-Fullmer Would you mind updating to the very latest RC version. While I am not sure I do remember having looked into a similar sounding issue and fixed that only a few weeks ago.

          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

            @Sebastian-Roth I will give that a go and see if it that eradicates the issue. I haven’t seen it happen since I fixed all the snapin hashes and updated the client, but I’ve also only imaged one computer since then.

              @Sebastian-Roth I updated to the RC2 from the master branch. Gonna be imaging a machine (well a virtual machine) shortly. I’ll let you know how it goes

                @Sebastian-Roth I updated and imaged a computer. It didn’t happen during imaging again, yay!

                However, I just saw another host that was imaged back in February come up as pending for no apparent reason. It still has its image history, inventory, membership, snapin history, login history, etc. It is missing its assigned image (it was assigned before the image’s display name was changed) and it is missing its active directory OU settings. I have not taken it out of pending in case there’s something more to look at for debugging purposes. I’m working remotely at the moment and it seems the computer is turned off, otherwise I’d grab the fog.log in case there’s something in there that hasn’t been truncated that might help.

                  @Sebastian-Roth It’s been a while I realize but it’s started happening again. I think I found the issue in an internal script that was causing part of the issue during imaging but I fixed that. (Had to do with approving pending macs automatically after imaging a computer). But now I am still getting hosts that are in production randomly becoming pending hosts.

                    @Sebastian-Roth I found that there was some need for database cleanup as I had some invalid entries. I’ll paste in my internal notes on what I did. Sadly I am still getting random pending hosts. I think that maybe something in the new version of the fog client, 0.12.0 I believe, is making it so some hosts that may have previously had some sort of invalid data in the database making them not viewable are becoming pending and then fixed. Though some of them were valid beforehand. So I still don’t know the cause of the behavior but I at least made some api commands to workaround the issue when it happens during deployment. I Also found that there were int, string, and null data types in my hostPending field. i.e. some hosts had a blank/null field, some matched a where hostPending = '1' some match hostPending = 1 some matched hostPending = 0 s and some matched hostPending = '0'
                    After testing an approval of a host in the gui, I manually set all hosts in the database to hostPending = '0' to add universal. I tried to find the code in the fog project where hosts are set to pending/approved but don’t think I found every place. It did look like when they are added via pxe (the method I usually use) it sets the pending to $null. But I was having trouble following it all perfectly. I’d be interested in seeing everything that determines whether a host should become pending or not if you’re willing to help me find all the code where it happens.

                    in the actual database there are 26 more entries than what we see in the gui or api.
                    The hostPending field in the database seems to have multiple ways of being set. some are 0 some are ‘0’ some are 1 and some are ‘1’
                    There must be something else that makes it show up or not in the gui or api as pending or at all.
                    Currenty seeing 7 hosts with pending of ‘1’ but only one of them shows up in pending hosts/ in the gui/api at all.

7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

                    ran

                    update hosts set hostPending = '0';

                    Which updated all 286 rows, but no change on the api number of hosts but the pending hosts list link has now disappeared on the gui. Going to set all hosts that have no image id set to the stable image and see if that changes anything

                    Ran

                    update hosts set hostImage = 27 where hostImage != 29;

                    to set all hosts that aren’t set to the dev image to the stable image

                    The api is still showing 257 hosts, the database shows 283 rows in the hosts table, and then in the fog gui there are 274 members of the everyone group that was just checked and found to indeed have all possible hosts in it.

                    did some clean up on groups that are no longer used and deleted hosts within that couldn’t be brought up in the host view. Then emptied the everyone group and re-added all available hosts. The everyone group count and api group count are now the same but the database is still showing 283 hosts.

                    ran these commands to clean up the database of stale records

                    DELETE FROM `hosts` WHERE `hostID` NOT IN (SELECT `hmhostID` FROM `hostMAC`);
DELETE FROM `hostMAC` WHERE `hmhostID` NOT IN (SELECT `hostID` FROM `hosts`);
DELETE FROM `snapinAssoc` WHERE `saHostID` NOT IN (SELECT `hostID` FROM `hosts`);
DELETE FROM `groupMembers` WHERE `gmHostID` NOT IN (SELECT `hostID` FROM `hosts`);

                    Got the code from this post when searching for forum posts concerning having a hostID of 0 https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8359/fog-registration-error-hostname-with-that-name-already-exists/20

                    Database now shows 265 entries and api shows 256

                    used some set-clipboard and -join “,” magic to create a csv list to paste into the mariadb console and search for all hosts that are not being found in the api. Found that one of the hosts is my tablet and found that the fog log showed it as ‘not encrypted’. ran the following to do a database level client encryption reset on the 9 missing hosts

                    there were 2 unknown hosts in the list of 9 issue hosts

                        @Sebastian-Roth I saw it happen again this morning. In at least one case (I have scenarios where it’s happening that this doesn’t match up with) it seems to happen right after a snapin hash doesn’t match.
                        I attached the fog.log section where the host went through Authenticated -> start snapins ->Snapin hash mismatch -> Invalid host

                        How my hashes keep getting mismatches is a whole other question because I use the exact same file for every snapin. And said file hasn’t changed in 2 years.

                          @Sebastian-Roth I am also getting hosts becoming pending for no apparent reason. My best guess at the moment is that it’s related to the service as it only seems to happen when the service is running. I’d rather like to keep it running.

                            This is what I’m doing to fix the problem via the api, which seems to work most of the time. A couple times either the fogservice or my code caused the host to stop showing up in the api/gui list of hosts but the host would still be in the database. When that happens I have to reset the host encryption fields and the pending field in the database hosts table for each affected host and then restart the fog service on the host and it shows back up again.

                            below is powershell code

                            $mac = get-activeMacAddress; #function that filters output of get-netadapter to the currently active adapter's mac
$hostObj = Get-FogHost -macAddr $mac; #function from fogapi module can be found here https://github.com/darksidemilk/FogApi/blob/master/FogApi/Public/Get-FogHost.ps1
if ($hostObj.pending -ne '0') { 
                            Write-Warning "The host is pending or not explicitly set to not pending in fog, adjust host to be approved";
                            Reset-HostEncryption -fogHost $hostObj; #function from fogapi module that resets the encryption fields of a host see https://github.com/darksidemilk/FogApi/blob/master/FogApi/Public/Reset-HostEncryption.ps1
                            Set-FogOU -hostObj $hostObj -force; #custom internal function, will share applicable contents below
                        }

                            this is what Set-FogOU does

                            function Set-FogOU {
<#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Set the proper OU on the fog host based on the hostname and group membership
    
    .DESCRIPTION
    Gets the current fog host infomration and then uses get-oustr to get
    the OU it should be in based on group membership and the hostname
    
    .PARAMETER jsonData
    The jsondata string used to set the ou with the fog api
    
    .PARAMETER hostObj
    the hostobject of the foghost gotten from get-foghost
    
    .PARAMETER OUstr
    The optional prewritten fogstr if you want to provide it
    
#>
    
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param (
        [string]$jsonData,
        $hostObj,
        [string]$OUstr,
        $progressID=1,
        $parentID=-1,
        [switch]$force
    )

    process {
        if($null -eq $hostObj) {
            Write-Verbose 'no host given, getting current host...';
            $mac = Get-ActiveMacAddress
            $hostObj = Get-FogHost -macAddr $mac
        }
        Write-Verbose 'getting fog group...';
        $group = Get-FogGroup $hostObj.id; #function from fogapi see https://github.com/darksidemilk/FogApi/blob/master/FogApi/Public/Get-FogGroup.ps1
        $OUstr = Get-OUStr -group $group -compName $hostObj.Name; #function that creates correct OUstring from the group name
            
            $ADPass = ""; #edited for privacy, this is gotten with powershell pscredential encryption methods
            Write-Verbose "OU string is $OUstr, setting to properties of host object, also enabling and enforcing domain join...";
            $hostObj.ADDomain = "domain"; #edited for privacy
            $hostObj.ADUser = "domainUser"; #edited for privacy
            $hostObj.ADPass = $ADPass;
            $hostObj.ADOU = $OUstr;
            $hostObj.useAD = 1;
            $hostObj.enforce = 1;
            $hostObj.pending = '0'; #made it a string instead of an int as it seemed to make a difference
            Write-Verbose 'creating json string from new host ou settings...';
            $jsonData = $hostObj | Select-Object id,ADDomain,ADUser,ADPass,ADOU,useAD,enforce,pending | ConvertTo-Json;
            Update-FogObject -type object -coreObject host -IDofObject $hostObj.id -jsonData $jsonData; #fogapi function to run the update/set api command     
    }

                            Basically just doing a PUT api command on the host object to reset the encryption fields and then another one to set the pending field to '0' and to put all the OU settings back. The json created by the command defining $jsonData looks like this (slightly edited for privacy)

                            {
    "id":  "1593",
    "ADDomain":  "domain",
    "ADUser":  "domainUser",
    "ADPass":  "secretPassword",
    "ADOU":  "OU=IT,OU=Workstations,DC=domainName,DC=com",
    "useAD":  1,
    "enforce":  1,
    "pending":  "0"
}

                              @Sebastian-Roth These weird suddenly pending asset issues are still happening. I’m about to start re-imaging all our computers. May provide more data to debug the problem, or maybe it’ll fix the problem, we’ll see.

                                @Sebastian-Roth All the computers I imaged in the last week seem to now think they’re pending.
                                Perhaps we could find some time next week to troubleshoot this together?

                                    Ok, after lots of digging in the code and @JJ-Fullmer database we seem to have found out what happend. Turned out some of his PowerShell code messed things up by deleting the primary MAC address of some hosts and the fog-client did its share to kind of reset some of the hosts’ information and make them pending.

                                    The PowerShell code is fixed already and I will work on adding some checks to hopefully not mess as much up with the fog-client as we did here.

                                    Initially we thought the snapin hash problems were at fault but the evidence collected points to this being a coincidence.
