@Tom-Elliott
That was it, Tom. Thank you so much for helping me with this. I was starting to lose some hair!

To debug a little further, I placed an echo statement and debugPause before the case statement.

        echo "Othertag = $othertag"
        debugPause
        case $othertag in
           [Hh][Oo][Mm][Ee])

While running a debug deploy, it returned: Othertag=

@Tom-Elliott said in Postdownload scripts variable issues.:

@Greg-Plamondon Are you sure the machien that’s loading has an other1 tag defined to it?

Looking at the php that returns the export variables, other1 maps to $othertag and other2 maps to $othertag1

Tom,

I ran this query on the fog database to confirm the field is populate.

SELECT *
    -> FROM inventory
    -> WHERE iHostID = 248;

@Tom-Elliott

Well, this seems strange to me…
I can see the field populated in the GUI, but if I look in the database in the inventory table for host ID 248, the iOtherTag and iOthertag1 tables are empty

iID 248 wasn’t the host i thought it was. I needed to search for I iHostID 248 set the other tag to a specific string and verified it was getting set in the database, So it is getting set in the table from the GUI.

@Tom-Elliott
When in debug, if I type “echo $othertag” it doesn’t return any results.

echo $hostname, $osid, $mac all return results.

Greg Plamondon

I am having issues with the $othertag populating when imaging a pc.
if I set the Othertag under the host inventory to “Home” it doesn’t fire the appropriate “fog.replace-files_home” postdownload script.
I am running Version 1.5.10.1639

Thanks!

@Clebboii
I have the same issue. I have 27 storage nodes using the Location plugin. When adding a storage node, I have to manually assign the Storage group to the new location via editing it in mysql

@Midview-Tech
I Like being able to deploy software to the remote clients from time to time so disabling the fogservice isn’t an option for us.
What we did is change the “CLIENT CHECKIN TIME” under fog settings in the console so it doesn’t check in so often.

Greg Plamondon

I am seeing the following:

When this happens I need to restart:
FOGImageSize
FOGImageReplicator
FOGPingHosts
FOGMulticastManager
FOGSnapinHash
FOGSnapinReplicator

in order for things to start replicating again.

@george1421
I need to know what PC a user has logged into.
you can find it in the GUI under Reports > User Tracking

from there you can type a users login ID ito the field and search it will list what PC the user has logged into.

Greg Plamondon

Can anyone help me with a Mysql query to track users?
I would like to search by username.

The reason I am asking is the user tracking function is giving me fits, we have a very large database.

Thanks.

@george1421
Thanks, I did manage to get fog installed, turns out that I was using the TFTP password and not the MySQL Password, it was a long day and I am glad it’s Friday!

What other tweaks do you have for me?

Thanks!

Long story short, I migrated to a new server and lost access to the old server cert files so now the clients do not authenticate to the new server.
I have a script that uninstalls the old client and reinstalls the new 0.12.0 client but it doesn’t want to register the clients in fog.
I don’t see pending hosts in the GUI.

I do have FOG_CLIENT_HOSTREGISTER_ENABLED set to 1
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
