@fohdeesha thanks for the information, I've added the following to my cloud-init template:

runcmd:
  # disable dhcp for eth0
  - [ sh, -c, sed -e '/iface eth0 inet dhcp/s/^/#/g' -i /etc/network/interfaces ]

at the end of the installation I have a reboot of the machine anyway so I don't restart the network in between:

power_state:
 delay: "+2" # minutes
 mode: reboot
 message: rebooting system after cloud-init configurations are finished
 timeout: 120 # seconds

cheers and keep up the good work!

Thanks guys! Absolut Legends

@julien-f that also fixed my issue, cheers!

great job guys on a saturday! I am just updating my xo but your response times are great, keep up the good work!

@jedimarcus thank you i will have a look!

hi team,

we were wondering, is it possible to get the usage of the SRs of a pool from the xoa API so we could monitor it?
also is there a list somewhere online of what information we can get from the xoa API at the moment? I don't want to bother you with my questions all the time, easier to check what's possible

cheers, Ringo

@julien-f @olivierlambert thanks guys I will wait until the end of the month you rock!

hi team, thanks for your excellent work! we love xcp-ng and xoa
I've written an ansible playbook to update our virtual machines and I would like to trigger a snapshot of the VM bevor I start the automatic update. is there a way to trigger that snapshot through the rest API? I've searched a bit in documentation and the forum but couldn't find something
cheers Ringo

Thanks guys! Absolut Legends

@julien-f thanks for the answer! this will get overwritten with every xo source update right? how about a licensed xoa? cheers Ringo

Hi Team,
i want to use the xoa api to monitor if i have old or too many snapshots connected to an VM, thank you for implementing the feature to your API that it is possible now. I check it via icinga and need an token which expires in 5 years or something and not after a month. when I try to create a user in the webfrontend admin user with a date 5 years or 11 month from now, it logs an error with:

too high expiresIn duration: 1956120152841

I also tried to create the user via cli:

#create timestamp for 5 years from now:
date +%s -d "5 year"
1831359954

#create user token
xo-cli --createToken --allowUnauthorized --expiresIn 1831359954 localhost admin@admin.net

Authentication token created

7kkiyVwzgISlOTO2LozsjtVTDPHG71lvqHEtYeSRQf0

but the expiration date of the token is only 30 days from now.

I dont want to create a new token every 30 days and reconfigure our icinga monitoring system to work with a new token, so can you please tell me how I can create a tekoen with higher age and maybe put it into the documentation, i was able to find the "--expiresIn" parameter but no info what you should put in there

cheers guys! Ringo

@Steve_Sibilia hey, what icinga check are you using for snapshots? do you have any xcp-ng related icinga checks running?

@julien-f that also fixed my issue, cheers!

Hi everyone, I am looking for a way to find snapshots in my pool that are pretty old so I can remove them. finding the "type" snapshot is not complicated but seeing the creation date and sorting them by that is my actual problem, is there a way for that?
cheers Ringo
