I was wondering if there was a way to display where an image is being pulled from while it is being downloaded. I think it would be handy to know where the image is coming from in case you have many fog servers/Storage nodes at a single site like we do. Maybe the information could be displayed on one of these two screens?

@Wayne-Workman In my test envirement I am running the RC versions on Ubuntu 16.x. When I setup the new servers they will all be fresh installs as well.

White listing the Fog server and Storage Nodes fixed the problem. Everything is installing correctly now. Thank you so much!!!

The only thing I am noticing now is that the time stamps on my Replicator Logs are incorrect. Is that an easy fix?

Thanks,

The change worked great, Thank you!!!

@Tom-Elliott said in Want to skip "Booting... (Press Escape to access the menu)":

mysql -u root
drop database fog;
exit
exit

All fixed, Thanks so much!

The issue has been fixed. Our content filter was blocking it. idk how but it was only on that one server. go figure. lol

@george1421 Thank you very much! I was able to modify the script to fit our setup. Everything is working smoothly now.

Thanks again!

@Tom-Elliott That did not have an impact. still seeing ${serial} on the host list. If it helps I am also seeing at the bottom of my host management page

${pingstatus} ${host_name} ${deployed} ${image_name} ${serial}

This is what is shown when I enable the hook.

The BIOS Hook is one I was working on but I first need to figure out why the ones that were already made aren’t working before I can try testing my own.

@Tom-Elliott I am not asking for anyone to make anything for me. The hooks I am referring to are already listed in the hooks directory. no of them work except for the VNC one which we don’t use. Below is the serial hook code.

Any ideas on this? I have still been unable to locate the issue.

@FlareImp Issue fixed with

Fog 1.5.9

I’m trying to make a custom hook to add Bios Version to the Host Management Page but am running into some issues. If i set any of the existing hooks from ‘public $active = false’ to ‘public $active = true’ all I get is a column that shows a $. So if I was to enable ‘addhostserial.hook.php’ I would get a column that says ‘$serial’ rather than the actual serial number of the computer.

@Tom-Elliott dumb question but where would I find the log file for hooks?

I gave your script a try and it crashes with web UI when set from active=false to active=true.

@Tom-Elliott Awesome, thank you very much! I’ll start playing around with this.
