@Tom-Elliott said in 1.6.0-alpha.1377 not showing available images on host:

Now, we have heard occasionally people have UI loading slowdowns when they’re suing FOG Client in their environment and the number of machines and check in times are just too frequent for the FOG Server to keep up and respond to all of them.

Sounds about right, I’ve turned it to 5 minutes but maybe I’ll try it at 30 and see what happens. We have about 1300 host entries (although they’re probably not all active now) but most should be off during the summer holidays. Thanks

hello, i’m the original author of the Subnet Groups plugin: I wrote and committed the first version of its code back in 2019 (https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/pull/289).

i just wanted to inform you that in our environment (currently equipped with the last stable version of FOG) everything is working alright, we never had issues with the plugin even though we are used to update our systems on a regular basis.

as @Tom-Elliott mentioned, problems might arise due to incorrect IP addresses mapping: on our system, we had to set up a dynamic DNS server which has the job to automatically keep track of the actual host IPs based on their hostname; without this (or some alternative solution to correcly associate IPs with hosts) the plugin is not going to work properly.

best regards.

I’m going to do a new install so hopefully all goes well.

It does look like things are working. I added a host to a group and then did a simple Basic task in the group and it pushed it out to the host. Now I just need to figure out a way to get hosts assigned to groups based on IP.

We have like 600 systems to image so trying to automate as much as I can.
