View Fog Client From WebGUi

[coop90]

Is it possible to view the Fog Client log for individual hosts in the fog server webgui?

I am on 1.5.0RC8 and the latest fog client is deployed.

Can you do \\%computer%\c$\fog.log ?

@themcv I can. I was wondering if there was something in the Reports section of the fog server that would do that automatically. Guess I’ll stick with that for now. Thanks!

@coop90 I don’t know of anything, but I might try to write out a little script so you just type in the hostname and it opens it up.

If I do it I’ll let you know.

Throw this in Notepad and save it as a .bat (if you’re running Windows of course :))

@echo off
goto :input
cls

:input
cls
echo Enter Hostname of PC you want to check fog.log of
echo[
set /p hostname=
\\%hostname%\c$\fog.log

And if you want it to ask you if it came up correctly

@echo off
goto :input
cls

:input
cls
echo Enter Hostname of PC you want to check fog.log of
echo[
set /p hostname=
\\%hostname%\c$\fog.log
set choice=
set /p choice=Did that work?
if '%choice%'=='y' goto :great
if '%choice%'=='yes' goto :great
if '%choice%'=='n' goto :oops
if '%choice%'=='no' goto :oops
:great
echo Great. :)
timeout 1
goto :end
:oops
echo Okay, let's try it again!
timeout 2
goto :input
:end

There’s also this concept: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8821/roll-calling-hosts-to-identify-problems

But instead of gathering a list of non-functional systems, you’d be telling them to copy their fog.log files to the share - and skipping the list building parts.
