ForemanCustomTab

Adds a new tab to the details page on Hosts. The fields on the tab are customizable.

Installation

To install custom_tab require it in your gem file by adding the line

gem 'foreman_custom_tab'

then update foreman to include the gem with the command

bundle update foreman_custom_tab

Configuration

If there is no configuration file then the tab should not appear on the detailed hosts screen, but if there is one and it is empty then it will appear without any fields. To setup the configuration file create a new file named 'foreman_custom_tab.yaml' at the location /etc/foreman/plugins/

The keys are the display title and the values are the methods that are actually called to produce the value.

Example configuration:

---
:custom_tab:
  :title: foo
  :fields:
    Host Name: name
    MAC Address: mac
    IP Address: ip
    Architecture: arch
    Certificate Name: certname
    OS Title: operatingsystem.title
    OS Type: operatingsystem.type
    Puppet Version: facts[puppetversion]
    Ruby Version: facts.fetch(rubyversion)

Verify the Custom Tab is loaded

Navigate to /hosts/, click on one of the listed host. There should be tabs: 'Properties', 'Metrics', 'Templates', 'NICs' and 'custom_tab.title or Custom Tab'

Development mode

Add the custom_tab config to <foreman_repo>/config/settings.yaml

Note: foreman running locally (i.e not installed via rpm/debian package) does not use settings from /etc/foreman/plugins/

TODO

  • add plugin settings file
