Foreman » Smart Proxy

Hi,

There's no WOL magic packet function in the foreman web UI, but thanks to the puppet facts, foreman already has the hosts MAC address, and therefore could easily send magic packets to wakup those hosts that are shut down and configured for WOL.

This could be use both in a host details with a button similar to the "power on" feature for the VMs, but also in the hosts summary page for mass wakups if needed.

That's be great :]

Thing is there might also be people who configure their BMCs with foreman, and that would duplicate some features (or : the wakup command could be sent using whatever/all available methods)

Regards
