Add Node to Rundeck

[Eric Fetzer]

Hi!  I'm brand new to rundeck and just starting with the Anvils demo project.  I got it up and going and am trying to create a new project that I can add nodes to.  I created the project but at the beginning, it should have a section in the create that shows where the resources.xml file will live.  It doesn't, but I assume that would just put it in the default location where (/var/rundeck/projects/<projectName>/etc/resources.xml.  Well, I see the anvils project has that file, but not my newly created project.  So, ok, I decided to just add a node to anvils and added a node section to the resources.xml.  Now, all of a sudden, instead of 1 node, I have 5 nodes, none of which I just created.  Can anyone tell me what is going on here?  Thanks!

Hi Eric,

You can put the content of your resources.xml file and screenshot of 5 nodes to take a look, please?

Thanks!

Here are the contents of the anvils resources.xml file:

[vagrant@rundeck etc]$ cat resources.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<project>

  <node name="localhost" hostname="localhost" username="rundeck"

      description="Rundeck server node." tags=""

      osFamily="unix" osName="Linux" osArch="x86_64" osVersion="3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64"

      >

    <!-- configure bash as the local node executor -->

    <attribute name="script-exec-shell" value="bash -c"/>

    <attribute name="script-exec" value="${exec.command}"/>

    <attribute name="local-node-executor" value="script-exec"/>

  </node>

</project>

And here are the nodes that show up in the console:

Thanks,

Hi Eric,

Maybe your resources.xml path is pointing to resources.xml for another project that has this six nodes.

Please check the file path selecting your project and go to Project Settings > Edit Nodes and see the path in "File Path" (Section "2. File Reads a file containing node definitions in a supported format")

Hope it helps!

Thanks Racuna, that helps.  So what I see is that the anvils project has all of those nodes definied in /var/rundeck/projects/anvils/etc/anvils-nodes.yaml.  However, when I look in the "Edit Nodes" for my TestProj that I created, there is no "Section 2".  Would this mean there's something wrong with that demo project?  I've built a real world server now but haven't created a project yet.  I was waiting to resolve this and figure out how to talk to one of my nodes and such...

Hi Eric,

For that select your new project and go to Project Settings > Edit Nodes > Click on "Configure Nodes" button (up to right) > Click on "Add Sources +" Button > Select "+ File" option > in "Format" field select resourcexml and  fill the path in "File Path" field (put the file name at the end, usually "resources.xml"), then  select "Generate", "Include Server Node" and "Writeable" checkboxes and click on "Save" button.

Greetings!

There it is, THANKS Racuna!  You rock!
