Display the contents of a yaml file

[Sergiu Cornea]

Good morning guys,

I am not sure if I am asking the right question, however, I am looking for a Puppet / Foreman Web API that when called with a node name it will display the contents of that YAML file? The reason why I am asking is that I want a particular node YAML file to be displayed in a WebUI.

Does anyone knows how to do this? 

Thank you,

Regards,

Sergiu

Hi Sergiu - Which yaml file? Do you mean the output of the node classifier? Or the file corresponding to $vardir/yaml/node/$hostname.yaml ?

If it's the first, it will depend on the Foreman ENC, but I believe it'd be a call to http://<yourforemanhost>/api/host/<nodename>  

If it's the second, you can use the /node endpoint: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/http_api/http_node.html

Hope this helps

If you're using Foreman's web UI then view the host, then click the YAML
button on the left.

The ENC script (node.rb) typically fetches
https://foreman.example.com/node/node.example.com?format=yml. This is
outside of the regular API.

There's not an way to retrieve the rendered YAML in the regular
authenticated API, only the above one intended specifically for the ENC
script.

The URL Eric suggested will give you lots of useful info about the host,
but in JSON rather than Puppet's YAML ENC format.

Please don't cross-post the same question to puppet-users and puppet-dev.  It is rarely appropriate.
