Manifest editing about munkireport-php HOT 20 CLOSED

Feel free to add manifest editing!

from munkireport-php.

Unfortunately I'm not sure how to do that but I will try a few things Monday. Also would there be a way to view catalogs too?

from munkireport-php.

I have an online catalog viewer written in php if you want one. It is not built into munkireport (although that could be a nice addition)

from munkireport-php.

@bochoven I'd like to see it. Is it in one of your repos?

from munkireport-php.

Not in a repo, I'm not sure in what state it is. We're using it internally to show people what applications are available via munki on a web page. I'll try dig it up.

Being able to view the catalogs would be fantastic. I'll work on editing manifests today and see what I can come up with.

You know I guess we could possibly make a widget that queries a folder based off of configuration and then edit the files via a web editor for PHP. What do you guys think?

from munkireport-php.

I don't need the ability to edit manifests through MunkiReport, but it would be helpful to be able to view them.

from munkireport-php.

Preferably whatever editor should have syntax highlighting and lint capabilities.

@drpebcak I forgot to mention I put the catalogviewer code online. It's very rudimentary I'm afraid:

Looks promising. Maybe we could find a way to incorporate this into MunkiReport as maybe a php site that reports on the catalogs in your repo.

@bochoven 👍

It would be nice to include this in munkireport!

from munkireport-php.

I work in an environment where all the clients have their own manifest. If changes are made to these client manifest a launchagent triggers a bash script reads out all the client manifests and writes the changed data to the MunkiReport database. In MunkiReport I added a widged to show how many clients are "member" of any given software manifest. Also in client view I added a new tab which shows the included manifest for that client.

@mattiasvdm Why not upload /Library/Managed\ Installs/manifests/client_manifest.plist?

You can send a PR if you want.

Has anyone started working on manifest reading / writing?

from munkireport-php.

@gmarnin Not that I know of, are you planning on writing an editor?

from munkireport-php.

Writing an editor is currently above my current skill set. I would think the first step would be to do a read only view of the manifests similar to your catalog viewer. CFPropertyList is already available in munkireport as a starting place.

How about MunkiWebAdmin?

edit: sorry, I see that this was the original question… :)

I don't plan on adding this to MR in foreseeable future. MWA will handle this nicely
