How to monitor Snap-in activity
-
@altitudehack Did you associate the snapin to the host you want to run it on?
-
@Sebastian-Roth Probably not. Not clear how to do that. What step did I miss?

@Sebastian-Roth said in How to monitor Snap-in activity:
associate the snapin
Oh I misread that as associate the FOG client to the host. Yes, the snapin is assigned to the hosts and they show up under “Snapin Membership” as expected.
-
@altitudehack And what about host’s “Service Settings” tab? Is “Snapins” checked on that too?
-
@Sebastian-Roth Yes it is checked. Didn’t make any major changes there.

@Sebastian-Roth
Here’s the host-snapins page for this host showing that they are assigned:
Really not sure why there’s a disconnect between the host service and the FOG server. Did the included logs reveal anything interesting to you?
Thank you!
-
@altitudehack Snapins are a tasking thing. The fog-client does not constantly try to run snapins every cycle. If you need to push a snapin to a client you must create a snapin task for the client just like you would to image it.
-
@Sebastian-Roth Thank you! That was what I missed. I thought simply assigning the snapin to the client would deploy it. Makes sense now.
Is there a simple method to install certain snapins while skipping others? Say I have 22 snapins but only want to push 18 of them. Do I need to create 18 separate tasks or can I create a group of some snapins? -
@altitudehack You’d assign only those 18 tasks to the client and then use the “Deploy All Snapins” task. This should run all the snapins assigned to this host on it.

@Sebastian-Roth Got it. Thank you very much!
