Specify default tests

[august-johansson]

Hello,
We would like to specify default tests for all machines.
Also we would like to specify default test for machines with a certain tag.

Is this possible?

Best regards,

@august-johansson, what you’re asking seems possible. see this doc for some details.

Hi,
I tried adding the tag commissioning to the memtester test but it still does not work.

maas southpole node-script add-tag memtester  tag=commissioning
Success.
Machine-readable output follows:
{
"name": "memtester",
"title": "Memory integrity",
"description": "Run memtester against all available userspace memory.",
"tags": [
    "memory",
    "commissioning"
],

        "memtester"
    ]
},

When trying to start a commission it looks like this:

Hey @billwear,

Do you know the difference between the tags that exist in the metadata in the test script and the tags that are applied with the cli command maas southpole node-script add-tag memtester tag=commissioning ?

Thanks

[jamesbeedy]

Additionally, what is the difference between the metadata type and script_type?

Thanks

Hey, @august-johansson,

Thank you for reaching out with your questions regarding specifying default tests for machines and machines with a specific tag in MAAS. FWIW, from the screenshots you shared, it looks to me like “metadata type” refers to the type of metadata associated with the test script, while “script_type” indicates the type of the script itself (e.g., a testing script in your case).

I hope this clarifies the current situation a little. If you have any further questions or need more assistance, feel free to ask.
