Hi all,
How can I delete hosts from the foreman that didn’t comunicate after x days automatically.

Thanks,
Shay

Hi,

You can take a look to this thread Automatically deleting a provisioned host.

Hi I install the tool
[root@nb-foreman foreman_webhooks]# gem install foreman_webhooks
Successfully installed foreman_webhooks-2.0.0
1 gem installed

But I don’t see it on the gui.
This is the command to install or i missing something? If I did ok so why I don’t see this plugin on the foreman web

Thanks,
Shay

We have the docs for this in progress at the moment:

The draft installation docs say

# yum install tfm-rubygem-hammer_cli_foreman_webhooks

https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-documentation/pull/636/files#diff-19915189d39a3588f20275aab561152b2870519897c30771cb1757181582e340R6

Install the webhooks plugin using the following command:

[options=“nowrap” subs="+quotes,attributes"]

{foreman-installer} --enable-foreman-plugin-webhooks

Optionally, install the shellhooks plugin on each {SmartProxy} used for shellhooks, using the following command:

[options=“nowrap” subs="+quotes,attributes"]

{foreman-installer} --enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-shellhooks

Optionally, install the CLI plugin using the following command:

[options=“nowrap” subs="+quotes,attributes"]

yum install tfm-rubygem-hammer_cli_foreman_webhooks

I try all of the commands :\ noting work. (version of foreman 2.2.3)

Webhooks was released as part of Foreman 2.5, so that might explain it.

mcorr · July 28, 2021, 8:06am

This would be the command:

# foreman-installer --enable-foreman-plugin-webhooks

# foreman-installer --enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-shellhooks

Webhooks is a feature introduced in a later version of Foreman than what you have installed.

shaycohen11 · July 28, 2021, 9:36am

ok.
Do you have any manual to upgrade ?

mcorr · July 28, 2021, 9:59am

Sure, Foreman :: Manual

shaycohen11 · July 28, 2021, 11:55am

Have to say today I don’t have luck
I am getting error when I try to upgrade

kalessin · July 28, 2021, 4:28pm

Hi, do you actively use foreman-proxy-httpboot ? if you do not, disable it to see if that makes the installer goes through

shaycohen11 · July 29, 2021, 9:54pm

Hi everyone,
Thanks I solved by upgrading my foreman.
Unfortunately I didn’t manages create webhook to delete computers that didn’t communicate with my foreman.( Just wanted to delete form the foreman hosts)
