FOG API Question

[Chris Whiteley]

I am trying to image with a task ID of 1 and while it does set the job to deploy, it is also supposed to include the snapins. For whatever reason, it is not pushing the snapin and I am having to do it manually. Am I missing something?

id              : 1
name            : Deploy
description     : Deploy action will send an image saved on the FOG server to the client computer with all included snapins.
icon            : download
kernel          : 
kernelArgs      : type=down
type            : fog
isAdvanced      : 0
access          : both
initrd          : 
isSnapinTasking : False

@chris-whiteley
Task Type ID 1 = Deploy? (I’m guessing that’s what you meant)

The snapins associated to the host should be setup to automatically be deployed once the imaging task completes.

The “isSnapinTasking” is meaning one of the 2 Snapin Only type of taskings (12 or 13)

The host you’re trying to set the tasking with has snapins associated to it?

@tom-elliott Yes, sorry Tom, I meant Task Type ID of 1. It has a snapin associated and when I set it directly from the “Tasks” Menu, it includes the Snapin.

@tom-elliott Just checking back in on this one. I know you guys are busy. Thanks!

I am curious if anyone else knows why it doesn’t queue the Snapin?

@Chris-Whiteley Hi, found some time to play with this and I was able to create a deploy task (ID 1) with snapins as well adding "deploySnapins":true as POST paremeter:

curl -H 'fog-api-token: ...' -H 'fog-user-token: ...' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST \
   -d '{"taskTypeID":1, "taskName":"Deploy Task", "deploySnapins":true, "wol":true}' \
   http://fogserver/fog/host/1/task

Search for “deploySnapins” in the API doc page to find the parameters you can use and an example - though just a specific snapin tasking (ID 13) example.

@sebastian-roth @Chris-Whiteley setting deploySnapins: -1 will tell the system to deploy all snapins associated with the host. If deploySnapins: true as well, it will set the value to -1 automatically. I forgot about that portion sorry.

@sebastian-roth I was able to add this and it worked! Thank you so much!

@tom-elliott Thanks Tom!
