Hi Hugh, Thanks for your feedback. Our reporting is hoping to be a percentage and the load time would probably be around 10 mins or so. I like your idea about monitoring both anaconda.log and install.log. Would putting something like "I'm done" in the last line of %post would ensure that's the last thing that is being executed by anaconda? or that's just close enough to being the last thing? Thanks for your valuable opinions. - David
The scripts that are run from %post are effectively the last thing that happens (that we have any control over). So you could put another python script or shell script in %post that would contact your monitoring server to indicate completion.
For example, in looking at a machine that just loaded, the last line in anaconda.log is time stamped 12:07:18. The log files that I create from scripts within %post are timestamped from 12:07 to 12:14.
The next available time to indicate completion would be to drop a "firstboot" style script into the newly installed machine and have it report after the reboot. After it reports, it could remove/disable itself.
