Latest Development FOG
-
SVN 2580 released.
With this comes, hopefully, more fixes for multicast session joining. Also allows you, the users, to specify which tasks you want to show up as Used tasks on the dashboard and on taskings during checkin. This is simply a field in General Settings and is a comma separated field. Meaning, 1,15,17 will only deal with download tasks.
This also should fix issues with the capone plugin not allowing the format of the image to come through to image in partimage/partclone.

SVN 2598 released.
With this comes a couple new introductions. First is Replication Bandwidth is now setup and in place. The idea of this is to limit bandwidth usage between nodes. You limit by Kbps just like regular bandwidth limitations usually operate. Basically the intent is to keep your network links unsaturated if we can help it.
Also, comes an attempt at multiple node replication at the same time. So if your Group has nodes a,b,c in different sites, rather than wait for the first node to complete, it should start replicating to all three nodes. The bandwidth limitations will work in a fashion to limit the total rate of the sending node bandwidth is set. Meaning, if Group 1 has nodes a,b,c,d with d as the master. If node d’s limit is set and starts sending, it will limit all the transfers to the limit set on d. However, if d’s bandwidth is not set, it will use the limits individually set on a,b, and/or c, to transfer to those nodes.
This, I think leaves the best bandwidth optimization as needed. Is it perfect? Probably not, but it’s a test and something I think people could find extremely useful.

Tom,
Running 2607 right now. Works nice bud. Just wanted to say nice work. Is the email feature working yet ? Do I have to set my smtp settings through my PHP. ini ?

No, you do not need to setup php.ini sendmail/email smtp stuff.

I’ve got one last tiny tiny issue that seems to just be a GUI display issue with the dev build.
When i click on Image Management -> List all images -> Click on any image
Everything pops up but i am getting a weird box at the top and it seems to be trying to ping all hosts in the system.
[CODE]
Pinging: image-
Progress: 77/1948
<*------------> 4%
[/CODE]Any ideas?
Adam

I don’t have any ideas.
I’ll enable host lookup on my systems when i get home and see if I can narrow this down for you all.
Sorry about that.
-
2612 Should fix the pinging issue.
-
SVN 2642 released.
With this, while seemingly a large jump, comes multicast session joining to non-registered hosts.
It also fixes issues with the SnapinReplicator.
It fixes compatibility of “old” snapins as well to allow non-grouped snapins to still deploy to hosts.
Fixes consistent pinging of hosts on non-host pages.
Hopefully you all enjoy.

SVN 2651 released.
This release adds/changes the capabilities of Quick image.
Quick Image will now present a list of the images from your fog server. You can make a selection of any image of your choice and image your system with that image.
If the host is registered and has a valid image assigned to it, it will auto select the host’s image. If the host is registered, but does not have an image assigned, it will always default to the first item in the list.
The Host registered items, regardless of the image used, will be logged, so your dashboard will appropriately display the imaging task.
Now, the big guy I think most will be excited about (or at least I’m hoping so due to the commonality of this type of request).
Non-registered hosts can also be imaged using the quick image option. The option is been moved back into the non-registered and registered items. (BYPASS REGISTRATION ON ADVANCED MENU IS NO LONGER NEEDED YAY!)
What does this mean?
It means quick image is just that. It is a means to quicking image any host (regardless of the registration status). If the host is not registered, it will not be logged, but it will image just fine.Also with this, you can now specify which menu items you “Do not list” on any of the menu entries. Before there was either all, non-registered, or registered hosts. Now you can specify a simple do not list to not show a specific menu item.
Hopefully you all find this useful.

Yay team! Thx muchly for Quick Image. It works wonderfully!

The Quick Image make the same job as Capone Deploy ?

I don’t know what you mean?
Sort of yes, it falsifies the task entry information so it can run without being registered.

SVN 2658 released.
With this comes hopefully the starting components with the new client to allow for a more secure channel of communication between the two. Legacy clients should remain as normal, but these steps will make working with the new client that much simpler.

SVN 2682 released.
With this release comes many improvements.
First major improvement was working with the Dashboard page. You can now select different time settings. While I know the time itself isn’t 100% accurate, it’s based on the delay’s between return of data from the php that’s called and the delay that’s actually in place. However, the data points do adjust proper for their required time setting. Also, there’s no more sleeping in the php script that is called. This was causing a delay between each node called which ultimately had to be processed before anything could happen such as switching out a link. Sometimes, the largest delay occurred between home page and another link simply because the delay that was set by the PHP plus the delay in timing of when it would re-request data, happened too quickly. This posed issues in Browser Memory leaking as well and could break the page. This is now fixed.
Basically, bandwidth.php now just does it’s action and sends the data back to jquery. Jquery then delay’s and if the previous setting is set, does all the math required to get the proper Mbps. Response is much faster.
Second, the mac-list page. While used to be fast, then made really slow, is now fast again. How fast you ask? Well, before it was collecting the file data from the proper place, and looping the data properly as well. After it got the data, it would insert into the database.
Now it creates the query to insert the data in one line. This ultimately means instead of 45 seconds or more to update, it might take about 3 - 10 seconds. Most of that time is only due to it downloading the latest file. With this, also means, the file is not downloaded into the web directory. This means I can prune svn/git of all the oui.txt files and save quite a bit of space as the file size is now around 3.3MB.
Third, updated the way kernel’s are loaded on the screen. All of my kernels from my website are now on SVN and there’s a new script to generate the file listing as necessary. This means we no longer have to hand peck the kernel update file to insert new records. Because of this, the selector now has three entries. The default being the new mechanism of getting files, which currently just has all the kernel’s I’ve built. This new script also passes the arch type back to the form where you enter the name of the file. It will suggest the name of the file (bzImage/bzImage32) based on the arch of the file returned ultimately meaning you can just start without having to remember which file you clicked on. As always, the existing files are backed up.
With that also comes the download to allow for proxy authentication as well seeing as some proxies require auth to operate. This was lacking before which caused issues for those behind authentication based proxy servers.
The new selections are: Published Kernels, Old Published Kernels, and Unofficial kernels.
Those who know my work, will notice that many of the files in Published Kernels are also the same as on Unofficial kernels. This is intended as I just, quite literally, copied all my kernel files to SVN to get the data else where.
