We have developed code to generate statistics about OS installation in a
Cobbler server
and save it in a relational database. For each system and date/time when
netboot was enabled,
it saves user, target system name, target Linux distribution name,
date/time when netboot
was enabled, date/time when system was restarted via Cobbler, date/time
when system network
configuration was requested to DHCP server, date/time of boot
loader/kernel download via TFTP
and date/time of automated OS installation end (if user used Cobbler's
default
kickstart/autoyast/preseed).
Our setup saves to a MySQL database, but this could be abstracted to use
any relational database.
The code assumes there is a DHCP and TFTP server installed locally in
Cobbler server, as it
parses DHCP/TFTP local logs. Code works independently of user restarting
system manually or
via Cobbler.
Cobbler community has interest in this feature?
Regards,
Alan Evangelista
