The logic to handle dnsmasq hostfiles is moved from ironic-inspector with only cosmetic changes. The logic to purge the hostsdir is not copied since it relies on running commands with root privileges. A documentation example is added instead. The change is missing the RPC call to notify the filter about changes. It will be done in a follow-up. Change-Id: Ie32018c760c39873ead1da54cfaeae87eaaaf043

In-Band Inspection
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
In-band inspection involves booting a ramdisk on the target node and fetching
|
|
information directly from it. This process is more fragile and time-consuming
|
|
than the out-of-band inspection, but it is not vendor-specific and works
|
|
across a wide range of hardware.
|
|
|
|
In the 2023.2 "Bobcat" release series, Ironic received an experimental
|
|
implementation of in-band inspection that does not require the separate
|
|
ironic-inspector_ service.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The implementation described in this document is not 100% compatible with
|
|
the previous one (based on ironic-inspector_). Check the documentation and
|
|
the release notes for which features are currently available.
|
|
|
|
Use :doc:`inspector` for production deployments of Ironic 2023.2 or earlier
|
|
releases.

Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
In-band inspection is supported by all hardware types. The ``agent``
|
|
*inspect* interface has to be enabled to use it:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[DEFAULT]
|
|
enabled_inspect_interfaces = agent,no-inspect
|
|
|
|
You can make it the default if you want all nodes to use it automatically:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[DEFAULT]
|
|
default_inspect_interface = agent
|
|
|
|
Of course, you can configure it per node:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ baremetal node set --inspect-interface agent <NODE>
