Just wanted to share that I went ahead and moved the server over to a physical unit temporarily. The old Dell server was starting to fail left and right. I went with CentOS 7 & FOG from git on a Dell Optiplex 3020 for the interim and wow it’s fast. Upload of a 40GB image was less than 10 minutes. Deploying the same image takes about 5 minutes. Backing up and importing the database was relatively painless. A few quirks to work out but they’re minor.

OK well that did it. I installed the location plugin and now everything is back up to speed. I guess it just needed a little direction and I just got lucky on that first image I deployed to test the remote storage node. Thanks again.

@wayne-workman Thanks for that! I’ll play around with it and see what happens!

@wayne-workman I don’t need anything fancy like a gui tool in the dashboard. I just want to know which file I need to edit. Should be something in the source or config files somewhere that I can monkey with this. The old color scheme was much better when there were at least 4 or 5 different colors. The graph has to be picking from some arbitrary set of predetermined colors, no?

When I upload an image and replication kicks off I like to be able to look at this graph and at a glance determine whether or not bandwidth rules are being obeyed. When multiple nodes have the same exact color the graph, for me at least, is pretty useless.

Our latest update to FOG changed the color scheme on the bandwidth graph.

With 11 devices sending and receiving this becomes incredibly confusing now:

Where can I make a change to this color scheme?

Cool. Thanks Tom!

I don’t think there is an actual communication issue, but this is what I saw when looking through my logs for a completely separate issue:

I know all my nodes are online and the Dashboard shows the correct info on the graphs. Any ideas here?

@Joe-Schmitt helped me in a private chat just now. My bandwidth has returned to normal. Thanks for the awesome support as always guys.

@Tom-Elliott LOL no offense taken. Yes , I clicked save each time.

@Joe-Schmitt said in Fog Client is not updating:

@Neil-Underwood Are you sure you disabled the new client updating and not the legacy’s?

You can find the new client’s auto updater setting at : FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> FOG Client -> FOG_CLIENT_AUTOUPDATE. Once applied your network usage should return to normal very quickly.

Yep. I’ve toggled it and rebooted in between and it is having zero effect. See the screenshots:

I want to hop on here and add that I’m experiencing the same issue. Mine, however, is not responding when I disable the client updater. It’s still communicating with hosts and trying to push the client out. I came in this morning to find that FOG had tried to push out almost half a TB over the weekend. Take a look at my bandwidth usage:

@Joe-Schmitt said in Constant bandwidth suck:

Either re run your fog server installer or upgrade. The smart installer can’t be downloaded from your server. This means it wasn’t obtained properly when you last upgraded your server.

I moved .fogsettings to .fogsettings.old and ran the upgrade. Seems to have fixed all my remaining issues, including my broken replication. Thanks for that. I’ve been upgrading regularly for months now and I’m not sure now if it’s just coincidence that I moved .fogsettings and let it regenerate. In any case, looks like I’m back to normal here. Thanks again.
