Description of problem: Common use case I have is to connect to all machines of a job, to do some common manual wrangling. Currently, there is no easy way to get list of all machines [apart from script parsing from one of the xmls]. My idea is to have list of all machines of the job, which are currently working through their respective recipe sets. Thus all machines apart from those already returned to beaker.
Do you mean, just a list in the web UI? On the job page? The job page was supposed to list the hostname for all recipes but it was accidentally not shown due to a mistake, that's bug 1362596. Or do you mean the list of all hostnames in some other format? One interesting idea Marco has suggested in the past is an Ansible inventory module: bug 1152340. So the idea is that you could tell Ansible to run a command or playbook on all machines in a specific job or recipe set, and the module would look up their hostnames in Beaker dynamically.
My idea, by example: Four recipe sets: 1 - hostname1, working through tasks 2 - hostname2, waiting on reserve task 3 - hostname3, finished 4 - queued Somewhere on the page have space delimited list in plaintext hostname1 hostname2 When RS 4 gets machine, hostname4, list should change to hostname1 hostname2 hostname4 I am using cssh, so this format is best for my workflow.
Hello, thank you for opening issue in Beaker project. This issue was marked with component "web ui". As we are not planning to address any further issues in current UI, due to technical stack and not being able to work with Python 3 codebase, I'm closing this issue as WONTFIX. New UI will be reimplemented within new versions of Beaker. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. Best regards, Martin <martin.styk>
