Hi Guys,

I am using foreman 1.22 version with auto discovery Image,and now i am facing very strange issue that when I discover host and foreman assign host_id, using the host id i deploy the OS on the baremetal host.

But now I have observe that few of the server get re discover even after the deployment and it show in discovered host option on the UI does any one knows what is the issue here?

Thanks

Discovered nodes upload facts every 15 minutes by default, it is possible they upload facts once again creating a new discovered host while provisioning already have started but FDI wasn’t rebooted yet. We’ve seen this in the past.

You can configure the delay between fact uploads via kernel command line to let’s say 2 hours so it won’t happen.

It’s fdi.uploadsleep. By default 60*15 seconds.

Needs to be added to docs.

Hi Izap,

To be honest i am not very much familiar with command line and detail files of foreman component max time I use GUI to manage my resource.
would be great if you can tell me location and file where i can go and change this setting fdi.uploadsleep on my foreman server will di & let you know the result.

Thanks

Chapter 7.4, you want to edit pxelinux_discovery (or pxegrub2 depending on your PXE loader). This is how it looks like: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/develop/app/views/unattended/provisioning_templates/snippet/pxelinux_discovery.erb
