Could not load default_hostgroup map from settings [foreman_default_hostgroup]

Eric_Ohtake · October 23, 2015, 5:58am

Guys,

I have a new installation of Foreman (v.1.9.2) in a new Ubuntu 14.04.03 and
everything is working great.

I have installed the plugin from Greg (foreman_default_hostgroup) to have
some automation on the grouping field and followed the instructions from
the Foreman's plugins page.
But my nodes are not being grouped at all.

I wrote a default_hostgroup.yaml with the config as follows:

···

--- :default_hostgroup: :facts_map: "Workstations/Location1": "network_local_area_connection": "182.35.18.0" "Workstations/Location2": "network_local_area_connection": "182.35.20.0" "Default": "hostname": ".*"

I kept it simple so I could focus on making it to work but no luck.

This is what I have done so far:

Tried to use a even simpler fact like:

:default_hostgroup:
:facts_map:
“Linux”:
“osfamily”: “Debian”
“lsbdistcodename”: “trusty”

Path of yaml file:
~/foreman/config/settings.plugins.d/default_hostgroup.yaml
Changed the settings force_hostgroup_match to true and
force_hostgroup_match_only_new to false.

Content of /var/log/foreman/production.log:

~foreman, right? i.e. /usr/share/foreman/config/settings.plugins.d/

This error suggests it's not picking up the settings at all.

Have you restarted Foreman since adding/changing the file? Note that by
default Foreman's running under Apache, so "service apache2 restart" or
"touch ~foreman/tmp/restart.txt" to do it - don't restart the "foreman"
service.

Dominic,

As always, you nailed it!

I misread the manual and where I read
~foreman/config/settings.plugins.d/default_hostgroup.yaml I tought I would
have to create these folders into the root user folder.
That's why I came with ~/
foreman/config/settings.plugins.d/default_hostgroup.yaml

The correct path to put the yaml file, as you said, is:
/usr/share/foreman/config/settings.plugins.d/

Now I have everything working fine!

Also thank you about the restart tip.

You are a life saver.

Thanks!

Ah okay, no problem.

That documentation was probably written before we had the easier path of
/etc/foreman/plugins/ (/usr is now a symlink to it), so I've updated it,
which should be clearer.
