I don't know how you provision your nodes, but one option is passing the attribute in a json file at bootstrap/first run by passing something like -j /etc/chef/first-boot.json for the first run as showcased in the docs

| Jul 27, 2018 at 15:38 | comment | added | Caledonia91 | I will edit the origional post for clarity, but now you know it's an arbritrary number that's different on each node and can't be generated automatically, do you have any useful sugestions? | |
| Jul 27, 2018 at 13:53 | comment | added | Tensibai | then you should edit your question to specify that and show an example on how you get that id (or explain it with more details) | |
| Jul 27, 2018 at 13:47 | comment | added | Caledonia91 | Unfortunately not, the ID is basically an ID given to us from a client and it's different on each node. We do not generate it. | |

What I mean is would something like node.set['attribute']['id'] = node['fqdn'].hash % 9999(which give a number between 1 and 9999 derived from hostname) works or not

| Jul 27, 2018 at 13:08 | comment | added | Caledonia91 | It has to be set as a specific value, that's different for every node. | |
| Jul 27, 2018 at 9:52 | comment | added | Tensibai | That's quite vague about this id, can it be generated or should it be set to a specific value ? | |
