beancole Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Hi All, just had to rebuild fog (will back it up this time) I can;t rmember how to change the client settings not to ask for tasks every few minutes. I don't want unnecessary network traffic. I'm using version 3.2 Edited March 8, 2016 by ZeroHour
EvLPhenom Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Not at work at the moment to check but I think it's in the Fog Client Setttings possibly or in advanced settings in the Fog dashboard, I will check when I'm in work tomorrow and get back to you but I'm sure someone may post before then. Hope you get it sorted. 1
beancole Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) I should add green fog also isn't working. I confirmed the client setup settings and the fog server was left blank for default. there is a DNS record pointing to the correct location and I can access the server from the DNS name (http://fogserver/fog) I think I have something setup wrong somehow? My fog log looks like this;- 09/03/2016 09:04 FOG::SnapinClient Attempting to connect to fog server... 09/03/2016 09:04 FOG::SnapinClient Module is active... 09/03/2016 09:04 FOG::SnapinClient No Tasks found for: F0:4D:A2:26:25:08 09/03/2016 09:09 FOG::SnapinClient Attempting to connect to fog server... 09/03/2016 09:09 FOG::SnapinClient Module is active... 09/03/2016 09:09 FOG::SnapinClient No Tasks found for: F0:4D:A2:26:25:08 09/03/2016 09:14 FOG::SnapinClient Attempting to connect to fog server... 09/03/2016 09:14 FOG::SnapinClient Module is active... 09/03/2016 09:14 FOG::SnapinClient No Tasks found for: F0:4D:A2:26:25:08 09/03/2016 09:19 FOG::SnapinClient Attempting to connect to fog server... 09/03/2016 09:19 FOG::SnapinClient Module is active... 09/03/2016 09:19 FOG::SnapinClient No Tasks found for: F0:4D:A2:26:25:08 Edited March 9, 2016 by beancole
EvLPhenom Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I have just looked through my Fog server setup and can't find anything relating to the timing on the client. This made me think that it is to do with the config.ini on the client machine. After a quick google and some poking around in the Fog Wiki I found this - Snapin Client This module periodically checks in with the FOG server to see is the client has an snapin set to be deployed to it. If a snapin is found AND no imaging task is associated with the client, then the client will download the snapin and install it in the background. The configuration file contains settings for this module including: checkintime=xxx where xxx is the number of seconds the service will wait between check-ins. It is important to note that currently the fog client will wait 5 minutes when first connected / established before it starts checking and installing any snapins from the server. From - https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Managing_FOG#The_FOG_Client_Service Hope that helps. As for the Green Fog I have no idea as I haven't got a client to hand to look at for you. I think the log file you are showing is just that the client is looking for jobs and there is nothing there for it so it just replicates every 5 mins. 1
beancole Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 Cheers, The check in time makes sense. I will look at it. I added another shutdown time on green fog and it started working. I assume this refreshed something on the fog server somehow.
