[foreman-dev] From Foreman to Iot Platforme
Hi everyone , I m trying to develop a plugin in Foreman so i can manage all the devices that are connected to my IoT platform . I can communicate with my IoT platform via REST API . In first place with GET request i can get all the devices on Foreman with their parameters . My problem now is when i change the parameters in foreman or deleting devices I need to see the changes on my IoT platform . i really need help because i m trying to convince my colleague that Foreman can do it .

Re: [foreman-dev] CREATE host or hostgroup with new fields
Hi, First thank you for the response , For my situation i m trying to develop a plugin for foreman .. and i need to create a list of hosts automatically From my platform to Foreman ..The bridge is my plugin so instead of using a rest Api of foreman and creating host by host with making the parameters manually .. i want to call just a method from foreman that create a host and then look to automatize the operation . I did in my plugin controller . Host.create :name=> test , :manage=> false , :build=> false Hostgroup.create :name=> testgroup So i want to know how can add parameters to the host and hostgroup creation I tried to do Host.create :name=> test , :manage=> false , :build=> false , operatingsystem_id => 1 but it doesn't work ??

Re: [foreman-dev] Re: Plugins configuration managment platform
Hi , i don't have a knowledge about ruby or Ruby on Rails and I see that my plugin need to be developed in Ruby on Rails ..I want to know where to start because when I try to use plugin example on the Manual I don't see anything on foreman .. When I run rails server it show me to do rails new App Path ... So do you think that I have to follow a ruby rails tutorial or just start with the example and because ruby is near to Python I could make it -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "foreman-dev" group.

Re: [foreman-dev] Re: Plugins configuration managment platform
Hello , My platform is a software suite for IoT / M2M solution integrators offering a set of tools to facilitate the interconnection between *devices* (or connected *« things »*) and *business applications*: - *Connectivity Interfaces* (public and private) to collect data, send command or notification from/to IoT/M2M devices, - *Device Management* (supervision, configuration, resources, firmware, etc.), - *Message Routing* between devices and business applications, - *Data Management*: *Data Storage* with *Advanced Search* features. Every device has a particular parameters with a mix of communication modes . The devices use MQTT protocol to communicate with the platform . I m looking for a device management that can offer me more functionalities so the clients can have more visibility for their devices . For example i want to modify a parameter on multiple devices at the same time : ex: device Group . I want to manage different devices with different constraint , I want to supervise my devices and their evolution and it will be just great if i could do auto-provisioning (my devices get automatically an existent configuration and having inventory .

[foreman-dev] Re: Plugins configuration managment platform
Hi , it's me again im really sorry for asking a lot of question but when take a look to the documetation i didn't get a clear idea about the real job of smart proxy chef plugin and why on chef we have a client plugin and on salt we don't have it ?? and if my platform is not agent less would it be necessary to have 3 plugin one on foreman and other one on smart proxy foreman and the third on my iot devices ?

Hi, thank for your answer , my platform can communicate over REST API . you said that it would be quite easy to develop a plugin for my cfgmgmt .
