A quick plugin to set a default hostgroup on hosts which check-in via Puppet without a Hostgroup set.
See How_to_Install_a_Plugin for how to install Foreman plugins
| Foreman Version | Plugin Version |
|---|---|
| <= 1.2 | 0.1.0 |
| 1.3 | 1.0.1 |
| 1.4 | 1.1.0 |
| >= 1.5 | 2.0.1 |
The configuration is done inside foreman's plugin settings directory which is
~foreman/config/settings.plugins.d/.
You can simply copy default_hostgroup.yaml.example and adjust it to fit
your needs. The simplest example would be:
---
:default_hostgroup:
:map:
"Default": ".*"
Important Note: You have to restart foreman in order to apply changes in
default_hostgroup.yaml!
There are also two more settings under Settings -> DefaultHostgroup
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
force_hostgroup_match |
Setting this to true will perform matching even on hosts that already have a hostgroup set. Enabling this needs force_hostgroup_match_only_new to be false. Default: false |
force_hostgroup_match_only_new |
Setting this to true will only perform matching when a host uploads its facts for the first time, i.e. after provisioning or when adding an existing puppetmaster and thus its nodes into foreman. Default: true |
- Deface the Hostgroup UI to add the regular expressions directly into the Hostgroup
