Custom inventory attributes in the reports of Mission Portal

[Christian Linden]

Hi,

my bundle: 

bundle agent setInventoryClass

{

  meta:

    "tags" slist => { "autorun" };

  vars:

  "system_serial_number"

     string => execresult("dmidecode -s system-serial-number", "useshell"),

     meta => { "inventory", "attribute_name=System serial number" };

classes:

    "InventoryClass" or => { "host001" },

     meta => { "inventory", "attribute_name=Roles" };

reports:

    InventoryClass::

       "Class MissionPortal_server ist gesetzt bzw. sollte gesetzt sein.";

}

After this bundle run in the MissionPortal I find in the uncategorizied report "Variables" my bundle "setInventoryClass" with the variable name and the value =)

But I expected a similar effect regarding the class and I can't find it looking in the "Contexts (classes) defined last run" report.

Maybe I don't understand the process of setting a class correctly but shouldn't the class "InventoryClass" be set if this bundle is run on host001?

Thanks!

Chris

Hi Chris,

Yes, I would expect InventoryClass to be set on host001, provided that
this bundle is run on the host. Best check verbose output for the bundle
and the class.

Hi Neil,

did that, but there's nothing about the class:

It's just ignoring it =(

I ran into this too, Christian.  Classes need to be global in order to appear in  Enterprise inventory.

You can make your classes global either by changing the bundle type to "common", or by adding the 

    scope =>  "namespace"

attribute to your classes promise.

Have fun!  Glad you're trying Enterprise.

Yours,

Confirm that the class host001 is global and set before your bundle is
called.

[Christian Linden]

classes:

    "InventoryClass" or => { "host001" },

     meta => { "inventory", "attribute_name=Roles" },

     scope => "namespace";

doesn't work =(

[Christian Linden]

nothing more than  verbose: C: BEGIN classes / conditions (pass 1) in the verbose output as well =(

[Aleksey Tsalolikhin]

Try adding

{{{

reports:

  InventoryClass::

       "DEBUG $(this.bundle):  class 'InventoryClass' is set";

}}}

in the same bundle.  Run it with "cf-agent".  Do you see the report?

If so, go on the hub and run "cf-hub -q delta -H xyz" (where xyz is the hostname of your host).  NOW check Mission Portal. Running cf-agent will populate the report, running cf-hub will collect it.

[Christian Linden]

No, did that in advance ;-)

I don't see the report because for whatever reason the class is not being set =(

[Aleksey Tsalolikhin]

Okay. Figure out why the class is not getting set and once you fix that then the class will appear in the mission portal inventory.

[Christian Linden]

I doubt that you will believe me.. but I just removed the "or" in  "InventoryClass" or => { "host001" },

what causes a syntax error.. I reput the or in and rerun the bundle with the same command and now I see:

<<

R: DEBUG i00setInventoryClass:  class 'InventoryClass' is set

..

 verbose: C: BEGIN classes / conditions (pass 2)

 verbose: C: .........................................................

 verbose: Skipping evaluation of classes promise as class 'InventoryClass' is already set

...

>>

Ok, however, I'm used to getting fooled.. but why don't I see the class grepping for it:

[root@host001 autorun]# cf-promises --show-classes | grep -i InventoryClass | grep -v hardclass

[root@host001autorun]#

?

After it's set I expect it showing up here.

Thanks,

Chris
