We already thought about creating the same thing here (yastmon). Could 
you share it with the community?

Hi Jörgen,

anamon: Please let me know if you do, or don't.
We don’t use it.

Re: [cobbler] Anamon

2014-07-18 Thread Michael
Hello Jörgen,

We are using it... Less than 1% of our deployments.

We don't need anamon when everything goes well off course.
But... When something goes bad, when your install has a little thing
wrecked...

The anamon becomes helpful to understand what, and when something goes
wrong.

We use PXE installation massively.
Last time I used it to debug a fresh RHEL  install on a brand new physical
server.
As the RAID card was no supported, the anaconda goes to build partitions on
just one disk.

You come back in front of your ILO console, everything looks ok but you
don't have RAID1...
Not easy to detect immediately and even worse easy to understand when and
why it goes bad.

The good reflex was to go see the install log files and I saw that the raid
card was detected
but there was no driver to support it. Fast and rapid detection, brings a
rapid solution.
(a driver disk was used).

So yes, we use anamon. It is quite rare but how helpful !

Off course, if you have an alternative purely based on remote syslog. It
will be welcomed too.

 Hi guys,

 Just wondering if there are people out there actually using anamon ?
 Please let me know if you do, or don't.
