satellite-conf-report is a simple tool that uses hammer to create a text / Markdown
report of your Satellite configuration.
It can help in the following cases:
- Reporting the basic configuration of a Satellite system.
- Help with configuration drift - you can compare reports from different dates.
- Quickly share the configuration with others.
You can run satellite-conf-report.sh
directly in Satellite. Just download the script, and run it. It does not
perform any change in the running operating system or install
any package/dependency.
Currently the script can take from 5 minutes (in a blank Satellite), to about 15 or 20 on a fully configured Satellite with multiple organizations.
You can use any editor that understands Markdown. Output is organised in different sections, so you can use your editor to quickly jump from one to another, as in the screenshot below.
Sure!
Sure it is! Launching lots of hammer commands have a lot of overhead. I'll
continue tunning which configurations have relevant information and removing
the ones that don't add much value.
The hammer tool has evolved along the different Satellite versions, and features
get added/dropped as the Satellite evolve.
It's ok if some tasks produce errors, they should be added into the report too.
Me too! Ideally there should be a way to feed this information into the Foreman Ansible Modules to get a reproducible Satellite installation, but this is just the first iteration.
