@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.

Is there a way to show when a client last communicated (checked in) with the fog server? I’d like to compile a list of all my clients showing their check-in times and see if any clients are no longer communicating.

@george1421 Okay, thank you very much!

@george1421 Sorry for not being clear. I uploaded an image of Ubuntu with the fog install files and .fogsettings already loaded onto it. All a tech needs to do is change the .fogsettings file to match the node they are imaging and then re-run the fog installer with the -y command. currently after imaging they need to nano into the .fogsettings file and manually set the ip address and the hostname for that machine before running the installer. I am trying to get it to where when we image a node it can be auto installed rather than have someone set it up.

@sebastian-roth I don’t follow

I have an image of Ubuntu with the fog files ready to be installed that we use to push out our fog nodes at our different sites. the problem I am having is that every time we deploy a node, we have to manually edit the .fogsettings file to set the new IP Address and the new Hostname. Is there a way to Change the Server IP Address and the Hostname by having it pull them automatically from the current system being setup?

The change worked great, Thank you!!!

@sebastian-roth Thank you for all your help. I will give it a try.

@sebastian-roth I tried removing the space and just giving it the name of the folder itself. I am still seeing “File or path cannot be reached”.

@sebastian-roth Fog Version is 1.5.9, Ubuntu 20.04.03
Below is what the Log says

[10-19-22 1:17:26 pm] | Image Name: Drivers Latitude3500
[10-19-22 1:17:26 pm] * Not syncing Image between groups
[10-19-22 1:17:26 pm] | Image Name: Drivers Latitude3500
[10-19-22 1:17:26 pm] | File or path cannot be reached.

I have a Driver folder in our image directory that is very large, is there a way to set replication to sync only specific drivers to specific sites? I tried setting up an “image” and pointed it to the specific folder (Image Path: Images/Drivers/Optiplex7400) inside the driver folder put it never replicated.

Currently the Driver folder is replicating 110GBs out to all of our sites when only a few folders really need to be copied.

@tom-elliott sweet! Thanks Tom!

This is more of a question than a problem. Would renaming the “Default” Storage Group and the “DefaultMember” Node cause an issue? and if so what would need to be changed to prevent said issue?

Thanks,

@sebastian-roth Thank you and @george1421 for your assistance it this matter. It worked great!

Thanks again and keep up the great work!

@george1421 Yes, all my computers are using the fog client, the issue is we are not allowed to set PXE as the first boot option, has to be the hard drive, so it negates the feature. I was just thinking instead of giving our Interns/temp help access to fog and starting inventory tasks from the web gui it would just be faster to PXE boot a computer and select “run inventory”.

@george1421 If I have a host that is not registered in fog and I choose to run the Full Inventory task from the PXE menu, can’t we do something similar to that with hosts that are already registered? I do remember back in the Fog .32 days it was possible.

Thanks for all your assistance!

@george1421 after adding your changes to the config now it is showing the hostname and mac but saying no task found. So would the next step be adding a command to create and start the inventory task?

@george1421 adding the space after the boot|| has gotten me farther now.

Now it is displaying Attempting to check in …Failed
Invalid MAC Address! (in line for )
