Any update on a bridge/agent for CentOS/RHEL 6.7 Server monitoring & support
by Donald DAvanzo 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

Hello everyone Just wanted to see if anyone has made any lead way with supporting CentOS/RHEL 6.7 via a bridge / agent so these os releases can be brought into cockpit for resource / servcice monitoring I know about 8 or 9 months ago this was talked about but not sure if anyone has taken it upon themselves to come up with a solution yet or if there is one in the works. Let me know as we still have a few hundred 6.7 clients hosted in our cloud and it will take a very long time to safely migrate them if even possible to a 7.x release. Regards, Donald R.

Cockpit 0.89
by Stef Walter 22 Dec '15

22 Dec '15

This is a summary of the Cockpit weekly release. This week it was 0.89 Routine Debian testing ---------------------- The Cockpit Project has started routinely testing each Cockpit pull request on Debian Unstable using real Debian packaging. Marius did some great work here. This means we're are close to doing real continuous delivery to Debian. Next step, a repo, and a maintainer. https://fedorapeople.org/groups/cockpit/status/debian-unstable.html Case insensitive cockpit.conf ----------------------------- The cockpit.conf file is now case insensitive for options and headings. This should make editing it less error prone. http://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/cockpit.conf.5.html Reorder graphs on server summary page ------------------------------------- Thijs reordered the resource graphs on the server summary page in the same order as GNOME, Windows, and elsewhere. Syncing of users when adding a server ------------------------------------- Cockpit no longer requires or suggests that the admin accounts be synced between servers when adding another server to the dashboard. This feature is still available when editing the server options on the dashboard. Weak dependencies on Fedora 24+ ------------------------------- On Fedora 24 and later, one can have 'Suggests' and 'Recommends' dependencies between packages. Cockpit now takes advantage of these for its 'cockpit' meta package making certain parts removable without removing 'cockpit'. Vagrantfile working again ------------------------- The Vagrant file now pulls from the correct lastest binary builds of Cockpit. To use it: $ git clone https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit $ cd cockpit $ sudo vagrant up Get it ------ You can get Cockpit 0.89 in Fedora 23 or Fedora Rawhide: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-60bfc96a52 Or via COPR for CentOS, RHEL, and earlier versions of Fedora: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/g/cockpit/cockpit-preview/ Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/0.89 Happy new year!

Cockpit 0.88
by Stef Walter 22 Dec '15

22 Dec '15

This is a summary of the Cockpit weekly release. This week it was 0.88 OSTree upgrades and rollbacks ----------------------------- Peter worked to finish the basic OSTree UI has been merged into Cockpit. This lets the admin perform upgrades and rollbacks on Atomic Host. Colin, Peter and the OSTree guys worked together to build a DBus interface in rpm-ostree so that callers can interact with the update system. Demo: https://youtu.be/Tmj0Nrkasmk Before this is usable by users, the cockpit-ostree package will need to be included in Atomic Host, first on Fedora. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1292826 Custom login authentication scripts ----------------------------------- The Cockpit WebService cockpit-ws component now supports custom authenticators for various auth mechanisms. Some assembly required. Peter has implemented this as part of containerizing the kubernetes and docker registry admin dashboards. https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/blob/master/doc/authentication.md Stubbed out bridge for non-local users -------------------------------------- This means that the Cockpit parts can be customized to that we can allow non-local users to log in and interact with certain Cockpit components that don't interact with the local system. Again this is part of containerizing the kubernetes and docker registry admin dashboards. Specific dashboards can now be shown as default ----------------------------------------------- A specific Cockpit dashboard can now be shown as the default when logging in, by specifying a lower "order" than default dashboard. https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/3317 Next ---- Cockpit is incubating a general Kubernetes angular javascript client for backing interactive widgets related to kubernetes and openshift. Stef has been working on this in the registry/ sub-directory. It's not tied to Cockpit, and at some point this should be refactored into a bower component so it's easy to use more broadly. This is not part of the release yet, but is on git master and feedback is welcome from folks interested in reusing this. Get it ------ You can get Cockpit 0.88 in Fedora 23 or Fedora Rawhide: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-1237204a53 Or via COPR for CentOS, RHEL, and earlier versions of Fedora: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/g/cockpit/cockpit-preview/ Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/0.88 Cheers, Stef

Cockpit 0.87
by Stef Walter 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

This is a summary of the Cockpit weekly release. This week it was 0.87 Fix login on Windows -------------------- Cockpit no longer prompts for a strange second login (which had to do with SSO) on Windows. There are some remaining issues with how Cockpit works on Internet Explorer, but most have been solved. https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues/2164 Host name in self-signed certificate ------------------------------------ In order to make life easier, when generating a self-signed certificate, Cockpit now includes the local host name. Self-signed certificates remain a stop gap. Real world deployments should replace them with properly signed certificates from a certificate authority: http://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/https.html Next ---- Ryan Barry has posted a pull request adding tuned (system performance profile) support to Cockpit: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/3279 Dominik Perpeet and Jan Scotka to integrate Selenium based tests into our test suite. This brings us closer to testing with oddball browsers like Internet Explorer on each pull request. https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/3261 Get it ------ You can get Cockpit 0.87 in Fedora 23 or Fedora Rawhide: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-d03331b5ea Or via COPR for CentOS, RHEL, and earlier versions of Fedora: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/g/cockpit/cockpit-preview/ Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/0.87 Cheers, Stef

Cockpit 0.86
by Stef Walter 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

This is a summary of the Cockpit weekly release. This week it was 0.86 SOS Reporting ------------- Users can now prepare an SOS Report containing information about the system and send it to their support representative. https://youtu.be/-6rfWUoOQbs https://trello.com/c/0Qzzo9zY/148-0-86-sos-reporting Next ---- Stef has done work to cleanup the Javascript dependencies of Cockpit. Broadly these fall into two categories: * Development dependencies: only used while developing Cockpit, not even used while building the tarball. These are node_modules * Runtime dependencies: used while Cockpit is running and built into the various Cockpit packages. These are bower_components The latter should be replaceable at build-time. The cleanup work moves in this direction, but it's not complete yet. There's lots of other work in progress. You can see it here in the Design and Implementation columns: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/wiki/Features https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pulls https://trello.com/b/mtBhMA1l/cockpit Get it ------ You can get Cockpit 0.86 in Fedora 23 or Fedora Rawhide: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-36d1df063f Or via COPR for CentOS, RHEL, and earlier versions of Fedora: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/g/cockpit/cockpit-preview/ Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/0.86 Cheers, Stef
