Katello 3.1 Monthly Sync Plans

I just installed Katello with the following:

  1. CentOS 7.3
  2. Foreman 1.12.4
  3. Katello 3.1.0
  4. Puppet 3.8.7
  5. Pulp server 2.8.7

The Katello 3.1 docs say there is a Sync Plan interval of monthly but I do
not see it in the GUI. I looked around and found the hammer command to add
a sync plan and tried to add a monthly plan that way. Instead I got an
error that there was only hourly, daily and weekly.

Since this is a new install I am open to upgrading to 3.2 if that has a fix
for this. However, I did not see anything in the release notes.

Thanks,
Louis

I only see hourly, daily, and weekly upstream as well… looks like that is
a documentation error. I filed a bug here:
http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/18394

If you want to request a montly sync plan, file a feature request here:
http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/katello/issues/new

To create a montly sync plan now you could use a cron job with hammer as a
hacky workaround :slight_smile:

Hi. Do you know if there are plans to add monthly synchronization as an option?

What version of Katello are you on? I believe you can now do cron-like syntax for sync plans in recent versions

Hello. I am using katello-3.8.1-1.el7.noarch. We have a cron setup for this, but it would be nice to do sync plans instead.

@sajha may be able to tell you more about what version of Katello you can use cron syntax in sync plans, I believe it is later than 3.8

You can choose custom cron as the interval and give any valid cron syntax in the sync plan.

Do you know which version that feature landed?

Aah…Did not notice the version…It landed in 3.9…
