Foreman hooks

Support
1

Hello,

I'm trying to use hooks with the dedicated foreman plugin.

The shell script located in "
~foreman/config/hooks/parameters/host_parameter/after_create/01_my_script.sh"
and it is working perfectly when I test it with this command :

echo '{"host":{"name":"win-sm5srn3pkc9"}}' | ~foreman/config/hooks/
parameters/host_parameter/create/01_create_client_propertie.sh create win-
sm5srn3pkc9

The new parameter is created and I can verify it on the web interface.

My question is: "How can I configure the hook to be executed when a new
Host is added/created with Puppet?"

I don't understand the meaning about the events (create, update,
after_create, etc.)…

Somebody can help me please?

Best regards

The events are standard Rails hooks, you can see a small list here

I think you want to run this script after a host is created after
submitting the facts? In that case, 'after_create' should work. It will
run after the creation of any host, so if you want to restrict it to
Puppet-enabled hosts you'll have to do that in the script.

Hope that helps,

The path should be:
~foreman/config/hooks/host/managed/after_create/01_create_client_propertie.sh

The parameters/host_parameter/ stuff isn't really valid, it should be in
host/managed/ to hook regular host creation.

I don't think that "create" will work when a host is created through a
fact upload, but after_create should.

Hello,

Following your instructions, I tried to copy the script in
"~foreman/config/hooks/host/managed/after_create/01_create_client_propertie.sh".

After a foreman restart, unfortunately, nothing happened and I have nothing
new in production.log.
I tried to delete the host an add it again but nothing.

I don't know what can I do :confused:

Thank you for your help.

One more question, I set the log_level to "debug" but I don't see any hooks
find by Foreman. Is it normal?

Just for the record, we sorted this on IRC today. Ensure you restart
httpd or apache2 rather than "foreman" (since that's the standalone
service we don't use in a default install), and that the hook is
executable (chmod +x).
