mmoll: thanks, ill give that a shot. wasnt sure if there was a better way to do it besides just yum install. i know there is the katello answers file and i was thinking maybe there was something i had to put in there and rerun the installer.

jamestown: ec2 was split out of foreman-compute, and yes, there's probably an installer option, but I'm only using plain fireman. not katello, so no idea

(--enable-foreman-compute-ec2)

awesome, thanks!

looks like that installer option is not valid. however, installing the package directly gets me the option to add an ec2 resouce.

thanks for the help. im sure ill be back with another silly question later.

the thing is katello-instalelr is not foreman-installer

hello all...running into very slow UI performance, yet vm itself does not seem pegged

wondering if some obvious fixes?

lcurtis: it would be important to know where the problem is, high CPU load on the browser's machine, long loading times over the network or something else

lcurtis: so it's probably best to fire up the network monitor of your browser and watch the time graphs

hmm...looks like ruby somewhat high cpu

but load on box still low

12 core vm

lcurtis: /var/log/foreman/production.log also has logs how long each action takes

great..will start there

thanks for your insight

lcurtis: y/w :)

is there a way to make katello-disconnected, when running on a katello server, use the existing pulp DB rather than downloading all of the RPMs again?

oi !

is there a limit to the amount of subnets we can enter in :dhcp_subnets: on the proxy ?

Is it possible to add hosts into foreman without an IP address? The servers are currently powered off....

shlomizadok: You around?

hi everyone, setting up a smart proxy on my salt master for my foreman server. is /etc/salt/foreman.yml configured with my proxy's ssl key/cert/ca and domain, or foreman's?

tapoxi: foreman.yaml configures how the proxy talks to foreman, so it uses the Smart Proxy's client certificates

in the default setup, it's just the puppet certs: https://github.com/theforeman/smart_proxy_salt/...

hmm, so if I installed via packages and don't have puppet, I don't have client certs and need to generate them somehow?

yea you're totally on your own

if you use the foreman-installer (which is puppet-based) it does it all for you and you can follow the instructions in the foreman_salt manual

if you don't want to do that, it's up to you to setup SSL, there's some info in the foreman manual

yeah I'll probably just go with foreman-installer then, thought packages would save me the hassle of puppet on a salt server but I suppose I need it

yea it'd only be on the foreman and salt master (maybe the same machine), otherwise you won't need puppet anywhere else

Better question: Is it possible to add hosts into Foreman using an unused_ip / autoassigned IP address?

what happens if i have an IPAM value of DHCP and a boot mode of Static for one of my subnets?

or is static only for internal DB/none and DHCP only with DHCP?

tron103: sure

discr33t: yes, internal only

ohadlevy: thanks

ohadlevy: have you ever seen an issue where during provisioning (after foreman boots the server) an error saying some interfaces are invalid shows, but the provisioned host continues to build and get configured as if there are no issues?
