iTerm2 Build 3.0.13 show current hostname/IP of a server

[Kaushal Shriyan]

Hi,

I am using iTerm2 Build 3.0.13 on macos sierra 10.12.2. I usually have more than 15 tabs at a given point in time. Is there a way to display in bold colour to show the server hostname/IP which i am currently working on. something like pop up.... just to be sure that i am working on the right server for example on server A running commands like for example "service httpd status/restart/stop/start.... and so on and so forth so that i do not accidentally run the same command on a different server(for example server B)

Please let me know if i am not clear in my explanation.

Regards,

Kaushal

Sorry for the slow response. I think badges are probably the feature you're looking for. https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-badges.html

Hi George,

I have the below setup in .bash_profile

# This will set your window title

export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${PWD##*/}\007"'

source ~/.iterm2_shell_integration.`basename $SHELL`

test -e "${HOME}/.iterm2_shell_integration.bash" && source "${HOME}/.iterm2_shell_integration.bash"

 

and i have set Badge :- \(session.username)@\(session.hostname) in Iterm2 profiles. The issue is that when i login to the remote server, i do not see the remote hostname (for example tomcat01.testchat.com) that appears in the top right of a terminal session instead i see kaushal...@kaushalshriyan.Home which is my laptop desktop name.

Any help will be highly appreciable. Thanks in Advance

Regards,

Kaushal

Do you have this set up in the remote host as well, or only locally? You must load shell integration on every host you log in to, or else set up triggers to emulate the shell integration scripts as described here: https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-shell-integration.html

Hi George,

Thanks a lot and it is working as expected using shell integration. The only challenge is i have to set it for more than 300 servers. I did used the triggers to emulate the shell integration scripts

Triggers

Regular expresssions                 Action                              Parameters             Instant

^(\w+)@([\w.]+):.+%                  Report User & Host           `user@host`            Checkbox ticked.

when i login to the remote server, i do not see the remote hostname (for example tomcat01.testchat.com) that appears in the top right of a terminal session.

Any help will be highly appreciable. Thanks in Advance. Please let me know if the above settings for triggers is incorrect.

Given your regex I'd expect the Parameters column to have a value like:

\1@\2

That'll substitute the username and hostname you captured in the regular expression.

A few debugging tips:

1. Ensure your trigger is firing by changing it to an Alert trigger

2. You can get useful debugging info about automatic profile switching by creating a debug log. Select iTerm2 > Toggle Debug Logging to begin debug logging, then log into a remote host, then select the same menu item to disable debug logging. Next, do:

grep -i automatic /tmp/debuglog.txt

It'll tell you what it thinks the current hostname and username are in lines like:

1483862997.033284 iTermAutomaticProfileSwitcher.m:93 (-[iTermAutomaticProfileSwitcher setHostname:username:path:]): APS: hostname=iterm2.com, username=gnachman, path=/home/gnachman

Hi George,

I did set the below triggers settings.

Regular expresssions                 Action                              Parameters             Instant

^(\w+)@([\w.]+):.+%                  Report User & Host          \1@\2           Checkbox ticked.

Please find my pastebin here -> http://sprunge.us/VhFH 

I did grep -i automatic /tmp/debuglog.txt it did not returned anything. 

Please suggest. Thanks in Advance
